WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are serious or fatal to
you, your passengers, and others around you:
• Before operating the power top, make sure that no moving parts of the con-
vertible top can injure a person or animal.
•Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near the convertible top compo-
nents, the upper windshield area, the shelf area behind the rear seats, or the
convertible top stowage area while raising or lowering the convertible top.
• When using the power top button on RKE transmitter, if potential danger
exists while lowering the top, release the button immediately to interrupt the
operation.
• Only drive the vehicle with the convertible top completely closed and latched
or fully lowered into its stowage compartment.
• Do not operate the power top when the vehicle is in motion.
Opening the Liftgate
• To open the liftgate, press the liftgate release handle located on the underside of
the license plate bar and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
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 rea-
sons. 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 in the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child
could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

POWER DOOR LOCKS
• The vehicles power door locks are activated by moving the inside door handles.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s door must be closed to initiate this feature.
• Push or pull the door handle to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate when the
doors are closed.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in
the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting
on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a colli-
sion. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• 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. Dam-
aged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the sys-
tem. Seat belt assemblies 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 col-
lision.
• 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 pas-
sengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

Installing the Child Restraint Using the Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the re-
tractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint.
• Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click”.
• Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
• 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 webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the 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 above step to
lock it.
• 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 ve-
hicle seat.
• Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and
pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, connect
the top tether strap. Pass the tether strap under the center of the head restraint
and attach it to the top tether anchor on the rear of the seatback. Remove slack
in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projec-
tile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap
could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any
child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead
to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind
the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe
injury or death to infants in this position.
• This vehicle does not have a center seating position. Do not use the center
lower LATCH anchorages to install a child seat in the center of the back
seat.

FRONT SEATS
Manual Seat Adjustment
Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting handle, lo-
cated at the front of the seat near the
floor, and release at the desired posi-
tion. Then, using body pressure, move
forward and backward on the seat to
be sure that the seat adjusters have
latched.
Recliner
• To recline the seatback, lift up the re-
cline lever, located on the inboard side
of the seat, lean back until the desired
position has been reached, and re-
lease the lever.
Seat Height
• The driver’s seat height can be raised
or lowered by using a lever, located
on the outboard side of the seat.
Pump the lever upward to raise the
seat height, or pump the lever down-
ward to lower the seat height.
EZ Entry Seats
• Pull up on the pull strap, located on
the side of the seatback, to dump the
seatback forward and slide the seat
forward. This allows for easier access
to the rear seat.
• The driver seat has a memory feature.
After using the EZ Entry function, the
seat back and adjuster will re-lock into
the original position the seat was pre-
viously adjusted to.
