Introduction
E91392
E139213

Note:The passenger sensing system will
deactivate the passenger seat-mounted
side airbag if it detects an empty, unbuckled
passenger seat.
The design and development of the side
airbag system included recommended
testing procedures that were developed
by a group of automotive safety experts
known as the Side Airbag Technical
Working Group. These recommended
testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side
airbags.
SAFETY CANOPY®
WARNINGS
Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the headliner
at the siderail that may come into
contact with a deploying curtain airbag.
Failure to follow these instructions may
increase the risk of personal injury in the
event of a collision.
Do not lean your head on the door.
The curtain airbag could injure you
as it deploys from the headliner.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or
modify the curtain airbags, its fuses,
the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the
headliner on a vehicle containing curtain
airbags. Contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
All occupants of the vehicle including
the driver should always wear their
safety belts even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system and curtain
airbag is provided.
To reduce risk of injury, do not
obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the curtain
airbag.
WARNINGS
If the curtain airbags have deployed,
the curtain airbags will not function
again. The curtain airbags (including
the A, B and C pillar trim and headliner)
must be inspected and serviced by an
authorized dealer. If the curtain airbag is
not replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a collision.
The Safety Canopy will deploy during
significant side collisions or when a certain
likelihood of a rollover event is detected
by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy
is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet
metal, behind the headliner, above each
row of seats. In certain lateral collisions or
rollover events, the Safety Canopy will be
activated, regardless of which seats are
occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed
to inflate between the side window area
and occupants to further enhance
protection provided in side impact
collisions and rollover events.
The system consists of the following:
• Safety canopy curtain airbags fitted
above the trim panels over the front
and rear side windows identified by a
label or wording on the headliner or
roof-pillar trim.
• A flexible headliner which opens above
the side doors to allow air curtain
deployment

Supplementary Restraints System
E75004

•The crash sensors and monitoring
system have a readiness indicator. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator
(page 42).
Children 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the second
or third row seats. The Safety Canopy will
not interfere with children restrained using
a properly installed child or booster seat
because it is designed to inflate downward
from the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.
The design and development of the Safety
Canopy included recommended testing
procedures that were developed by a
group of automotive safety experts known
as the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of injuries
related to the deployment of side airbags
(including the Safety Canopy).
CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING
Modifying or adding equipment to
the front end of the vehicle (including
frame, bumper, front end body
structure and tow hooks) may affect the
performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify
the front end of the vehicle.
The vehicle has a collection of crash and
occupant sensors which provide
information to the Restraints Control
Module which deploys (activates) the front
safety belt pretensioners, driver airbag,
passenger airbag, seat mounted side
airbags, and the Safety Canopy. Based on
the type of accident (frontal impact, side
impact or rollover) the restraints control
module will deploy the appropriate safety
devices.
The restraints control module also
monitors the readiness of the above safety
devices plus the crash and occupant
sensors. The readiness of the safety
system is indicated by a warning indicator
light in the instrument cluster or by a
backup tone if the warning light is not
working. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by
one or more of the following:
• The readiness light will not illuminate
immediately after the ignition is turned
on.
• The readiness light will either flash or
stay lit.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The
tone pattern will repeat periodically
until the problem, the light or both are
repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized
dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the
system may not function properly in the
event of a collision.

Supplementary Restraints System

Note:If the vehicle has been remote started
and is equipped with an integrated keyhead
transmitter, you must turn the ignition on
before driving the vehicle. If equipped with
an intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the START/STOP button on the
instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving the vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited during
the remote start and the radio will not turn
on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the
engine will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Extending the Engine Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the engine still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If you programmed
the duration to last 10 minutes, the second
10 minutes will be added. For example, if
the vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the engine
will continue to run now for a total of 20
minutes. You can only extend the remote
start once.
Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after an engine shutdown. Only
two remote starts are allowed.
The vehicle must be started without
remote start then switched off or allow
one hour to pass before using remote start
again if additional remote starts are
desired.
Turning the Engine Off After Remote
Starting
Press the button once. The
parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to the
vehicle than when starting due to ground
reflection and the added noise of the
running engine. You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display.
See General Information (page 84).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement or additional keys or remote
controls can be purchased from your
authorized dealer. Your dealer can program
the transmitters to your vehicle or you may
be able to program them yourself. See
Passive Anti-Theft System (page 62).

POWER WINDOWS
WARNINGS
Do not leave children unattended in
the vehicle and do not let them play
with the power windows. They may
seriously injure themselves.
When closing the power windows,
you should verify they are free of
obstructions and make sure that
children and pets are not in the proximity
of the window openings.
Note: You may hear a rumbling noise when
just one of the windows are open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to reduce this
noise.
Press the switch to open the window.
Lift the switch to close the window.
One-Touch Down (If Equipped)
Press the switch fully and release it. Press
or lift it again to stop the window.
One-Touch Up (If Equipped)
Lift the switch fully and release it. Press or
lift it again to stop the window. Window Lock
Press the control to lock or unlock the rear
window controls. It will illuminate when
the rear window controls are locked.
Bounce-Back (If Equipped)
The window will stop automatically while
closing. It will reverse some distance if
there is an obstacle in the way.
Overriding the Bounce-Back Feature
Proceed as follows to override this
protection feature when there is a
resistance, e.g. in winter:
1.
Close the window twice until it reaches
the point of resistance and let it
reverse.
2. Close the window a third time to the point of resistance. The bounce-back
feature is now disabled and you can
close the window manually. The
window will go past the point of
resistance and you can close it fully.
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible if the window does not close after
the third attempt.
