• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you canattach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages that are designated for that seating position.
• 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.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The
Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path
of the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle.
• To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the
retractor. Then, allow the belt webbing to retract back into the retractor. As the belt
webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the safety seat belt is now in
the Automatic Locking mode.
• Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the step above.
• Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

REAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatback
• Pull on the loops, located near the outertop of the seatbacks, to fold down either
or both seatbacks. These loops can be
tucked away when not in use.
• When the seatback is raised to the upright position, make sure it is latched by
strongly pulling on the top of the seatback
above the seat loop.
WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause you and others to
severely injured or killed.
•
The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or
folded-down position) should not be used as a play area by children when the vehicle is
in motion. They could be severely injured or killed in a collision. Children should be
seated and using the proper restraint system.

WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescoping adjustment must be

• To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and movethe shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
• Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.
• This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to Reverse, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect your
transmission from damage.
NOTE:
• When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold the car in
position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not applied after a
short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the vehicle) or press the
accelerator to climb the hill.
• During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi- tional manual transmission. This is a benefit of the dual clutch design that avoids power
loss during up-shifts.

• Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC) to alert the driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.
