WARNING!
The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any other
seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according
to the procedures in the Service
Manual. Failure to replace the belt andretractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten-
sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat
belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli-
sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints. NOTE:
These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt place-
ment by the occupant. The seat belt
still must be worn snugly and posi-
tioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed preten-
sioner or a deployed air bag must be
replaced immediately.ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by ele-
vating the vehicle’s hood upon an im-
pact with a pedestrian or other object.
The system is automatically activated
when the vehicle is moving within a
specified vehicle speed range. In order
to detect a range of pedestrians, other
objects that are impacted may result
in an Active Hood deployment. Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of
the actuators in a frontal impact is
required. Based on the impact sensors
signals, the ORC determines when to
deploy the actuators. The impact
sensors are located within the front
bumper area.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position.
If the key is in the LOCK position, in
the ACC position, or not in the igni-
tion, the Active Hood system is not on
and the Active Hood will not deploy.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.

NOTE:
Air Bag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will
open during air bag deployment. Being too close to the side airbags during deployment could
cause you to be severely injured
or killed.
SAB and SABIC air bags are a supple-
ment to the seat belt restraint system.
Occupants, including children who
are up against or very close to SAB or
SABIC air bags can be seriously in-
jured or killed. Occupants, especially
children, should not lean on or sleep
against the door, side windows, or
area where the SAB or SABIC air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint. Always sit upright as
possible with your back against the
seat back, use the seat belts properly,
and use the appropriate sized child
restraint, infant restraint or booster
seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child. The system includes side impact sen-
sors that are calibrated to deploy the
side air bags during impacts that re-
quire air bag occupant protection.
WARNING!
 Your vehicle is equipped with
SABIC air bags, do not have any
accessory items installed which
will alter the roof, including add-
ing a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
Your vehicle is equipped with left
and right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other cargo
up high enough to block the loca-
tion of the SABIC. The area where
the SABIC is located should re-
main free from any obstructions.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
Do not use accessory seat covers or
place objects between you and the
side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected and/or
objects could be pushed into you,
causing serious injury.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag provides enhanced protection
and works together with the Driver
Advanced Front Air Bag during a
frontal impact.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro-
tect the knees of the driver and the
front passenger, and position front oc-
cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im-
proved protection for the driver and

The SAB fully inflate in about 10 milli-
seconds. The side air bag moves at a
very high speed and with such a high
force that it could injure you if you are
not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
air bag inflates. This especially ap-
plies to children.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision.
In these events, the ORC will deploy
the SABIC only on the impact side of
the vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure youif you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
NOTE: In a rollover the preten-
sioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags may deploy on both sides of
the vehicle.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC willdetermine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
 Cut off fuel to the engine.
 Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled off.

Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed. Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are
designed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.

WARNING!
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 se-
cure a child restraint top tether
strap.
NOTE:
Ensure that the tether strap does
not slip into the opening between
the seatbacks as you remove
slack in the strap.
When using the ISOFIX attaching
system to install a child restraint,
please ensure that all seat belts
not being used for occupant re-
straints are stowed and out of
reach of children. It is recom-
mended that before installing the
child restraint, buckle the seat
belt so the seat belt is tucked be-
hind the child restraint and out
of reach. If the buckled seat belt
interferes with the child restraint
installation, instead of tucking
the seat belt behind the child
restraint, route the seat belt
through the child restraint belt
path and then buckle it. This
should stow the seat belt out of
the reach of an inquisitive child.
Remind all children in the ve-
hicle that the seat belts are not
toys and should not be played
with, and never leave your child
unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child
restraint to the ISOFIX anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.
Installing Child Restraints Using
The Vehicle Seat Belt
The seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) to secure a Child Restraint
System (CRS). These types of seat
belts are designed to keep the lap
portion of the seat belt tight around
the child restraint so that it is not
necessary to use a locking clip. The
ALR will make a ratcheting noise if
you extract the entire belt from the
retractor and then allow the belt to

retract into the retractor. For addi-
tional information on ALR, refer to
“Automatic Locking Mode”. The
chart below defines the seating posi-
tions with an Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) or a cinching latch
plate.

Row ALR ALR ALR

N/A — Not ApplicableALR — Automatic Locking RetractorInstalling a Child Restraint with an
ALR:
1. To install a child restraint with
ALR, first, pull enough of the seat belt
webbing from the retractor to route it
through the belt path of the child re-
straint. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.” Next,
extract all the seat belt webbing out of
the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. As the belt retracts, you will hear a ratcheting
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking mode.
2. Finally, pull on any excess web-
bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint. Any seat belt sys-
tem will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
 In the rear center seat, you may
have trouble tightening the lap/
shoulder belt on the child restraint
because the buckle or latch plate is
too close to the belt path opening on
the restraint. Disconnect the latch
plate from the buckle and twist the
short buckle-end belt several times
to shorten it. Insert the latch plate
into the buckle with the release but-
ton facing out.

If the belt still can’t be tightened, or
if pulling and pushing on the re-
straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle, turn
the buckle around, and insert the
latch plate into the buckle again.
If you still can’t make the child re-
straint secure, try a different seating
position.
To attach a child restraint tether strap:1. Rotate the cover over the anchor
directly behind the seat where you are
placing the child restraint.
2. Route the tether strap to provide
the most direct path for the strap be-
tween the anchor and the child seat.
3. Attach the tether strap hook (A) of
the child restraint to the anchor (B)
and remove slack in the tether strap
according to the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.

To raise the head restraint, pull up-
ward on the head restraint. To lower
the head restraint, press the push but-
ton, located at the base of the head
restraint, and push downward on the
head restraint.
NOTE:
The outboard head re-
straints are not adjustable. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” for tether routing.
FOLDING REAR SEAT
The rear seatbacks can be folded for-
ward to provide an additional storage
area. To fold the rear seatback, pull on
the loops located on the upper seat-
back. NOTE:
These loops can be tucked
away when not in use.
After releasing the seatback, it can be
folded forward.
When the seatback is folded to the
upright position, make sure it is
latched by strongly pulling on the top
of the seatback above the seat strap.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is se-
curely locked into position. If the
seatback is not securely locked
into position, the seat will not pro-
vide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An im-
properly latched seat could cause
serious injury. 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 seriously injured in a collision.
Children should be seated and
using the proper restraint system.
DRIVER MEMORY SEAT
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature allows the driver to store
up to two different memory profiles
for easy recall through a memory
switch. Each memory profile contains

WARNING!
 Be certain that the seatback issecurely 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 serious injury.
 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 seriously injured in a collision.
Children should be seated and us-
ing the proper restraint system.
 To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be
seated in the rear cargo area. The
rear cargo space is intended for
load carrying purposes only, not
for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.
WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo
and passengers can change the ve-
hicle center of gravity and vehicle
handling. To avoid loss of control
resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your
vehicle:
Always place cargo evenly on the
cargo floor. Put heavier objects as
low and as far forward as possible. Place as much cargo as possible infront of the rear axle. Too much
weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the ve-
hicle to sway.
 Do not pile luggage or cargo
higher than the top of the seat-
back. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision. CARGO AREA FEATURES
TRUNK MAT (for versions/
markets, where provided)

your seat, adjust the inside and out-
side mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and
if present, instruct all other occupants
to buckle their seat belts.WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob 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 vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could
be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle. KEYLESS ENTER­N­GO™
This feature allows
the driver to oper-
ate the ignition
switch with the
push of a button,
as long as the Re-
mote Keyless Entry
