IGNITION OR ACCESSORY
ON MESSAGE
Opening the driver's door when the
ignition is in ACC or ON (engine not
running), a chime will sound to re-
mind you to cycle the ignition to OFF.
In addition to the chime, the ignition
or accessory on message will display
in the cluster.
NOTE:
With the Uconnect Touch™
system, the power window switches,
radio, power sunroof (for versions/
markets, where provided), and
power outlets will remain active for
up to 10 minutes after the ignition is
cycled to the OFF position. Opening
either front door will cancel this fea-
ture. The time for this feature is pro-
grammable. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the
vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous
for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park-
ing brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave Keyless EnterNGo™ in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key
Fob from vehicle, cycle the ignition
OFF and lock all doors when leav-
ing the vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle oper-
ation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN)
and a RF receiver to prevent unau-
thorized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only Key Fobs that are programmed
to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.After placing the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security

With the ignition in the ON/RUN po-
sition, the Trunk Open symbol will
display in the instrument cluster indi-
cating that the trunk is open. The
odometer display will reappear once
the trunk is closed.
With the ignition in the OFF position,
the Trunk Open symbol will display
until the trunk is closed.
Refer to “Keyless EnterNGo™” in
“Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for more information
on trunk operation with the Passive
Entry feature.
TRUNK SAFETY
WARNINGWARNING!Do not allow children to have access
to the trunk, either by climbing into
the trunk from outside, or through
the inside of the vehicle. Always
close the trunk lid when your vehicle
is unattended. Once in the trunk,
young children may not be able to
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)escape, even if they entered through
the rear seat. If trapped in the trunk,
children can die from suffocation or
heat stroke.TRUNK EMERGENCY
RELEASE
As a security measure, a trunk inter-
nal emergency release lever is built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of an individual being
locked inside the trunk, the trunk can
be simply opened by pulling on the
glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism. OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

tures in your vehicle are the restraint
systems: Three-point lap and shoulder belts
for the driver and all passengers
Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat-
able Curtains (SABIC) for the driver

Service Active Hood System
If the ORC has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
for versions/markets, where pro-
vided. A single chime will sound if the
Air Bag Warning Light comes on
again after initial startup. It also in-
cludes diagnostics that will illuminate
the Air Bag Warning Light if a mal-
function is noted that could affect the
Active Hood system. The diagnostics
also record the nature of the malfunc-
tion. If the Air Bag Warning Light is
illuminated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced by
an authorized dealer. The hood hinges
must be serviced and the actuator as-
semblies replaced to restore system
functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.NOTE: After any Active Hood
deployment, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CAUTION!To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.
