WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do not leave the Key Fob inside
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could start the vehicle,
operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.
REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds. Pressing
the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the Key Fob in the ignition and turn
to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition Key
Fob is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.
KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO™
• The Keyless Enter-N-Go™ system is an enhancement to the vehicle's Key Fob. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle's door(s) and trunk without having to
press the Key Fob lock or unlock buttons, as well as starting and stopping the vehicle with
the press of a button.
GETTING STARTED

• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move too
far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect
the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assem-
blies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices
that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are
buckled up properly.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front passenger
as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several factors, including the
severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the
risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to protect
the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide
enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air
Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children
ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK
(1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa-
tion: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchor-
age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear seating positions.
• Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower
anchors and top tether anchors.
GETTING STARTED
15

• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating
positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCH system in either or both outboard
seating positions or the center position, but not all three at the same time. If a child seat
is installed in an outboard seating position using the lower anchors, then the vehicle
seatbelt must be used for the center position.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are round
bars, located at the rear of the seat cush-
ion where it meets the seatback. They are
just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
•
In addition, there are tether strap anchor-
ages behind each rear seating position
located in the panel between the rear seat-
back and the rear window. These tether
strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can
attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, pushing aside
the seat cover material. The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the
rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be
readily identified by the symbol
located on the seatback directly above the anchor-
ages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the
child restraint and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the
tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the
child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.

WARNING!
• Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do not leave the key in the ignition
switch (or leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the
ACC or ON/Run mode). Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become
entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the windows open, adjust the windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.
