POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each
front door trim panel. Use this switch
to lock or unlock the doors.
The doors can also be locked and un-
locked with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
(Passive Entry) system. For further
information, refer to “Keyless Enter-
N-Go” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle”.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the ignition is in the ACC
or ON/RUN position, and any front
door is open, the power locks will not
operate. This prevents you from acci-
dentally locking the Key Fob in the
vehicle. Cycling the ignition to theOFF position or closing the door will
allow the locks to operate. If a door is
open, and the ignition is in the ACC or
ON/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.
Automatic Door Locks
When enabled, the door locks will
lock automatically when the vehicle's
speed exceeds 24 km/h. The auto
door lock feature can be enabled or
disabled by your authorized dealer
per written request of the customer.
Please see your authorized dealer for
service.
Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit
The doors will unlock automatically
on vehicles with power door locks if:
1. The Automatic Unlock Doors On
Exit feature is enabled.
2. The transmission was in gear and
the vehicle speed returned to 0 km/h.
3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL
or PARK.
4. The driver door is opened.
5. The doors were not previously un-
locked.
6. The vehicle speed is 0 km/h.
Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit

All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s and front passenger's) in-
clude Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALRs), which lock the seat belt
webbing into position by extending
the belt all the way out and then
adjusting the belt to the desired
length to restrain a child seat or
secure a large item in a seatPlease pay close attention to the infor-
mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.
If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa-
tion, refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat
Anchorage System.
NOTE: The Advanced Front Air
Bags have a multistage inflator
design. This allows the air bag to
have different rates of inflation
based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision.Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
1.
Children 12 years old and un-
der should always ride buckled up
in a rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag.
An air bag deployment can cause
severe injury or death to infants in
that position.
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.2. All occupants should always
wear their lap and shoulder belts
properly.
3. The driver and front passenger
seats should be moved back as far
as practical to allow the Advanced
Front Air Bags room to inflate.
4. Do not lean against the door or
window. If your vehicle has side
air bags, and deployment occurs,
the side air bags will inflate force-
fully into the space between you
and the door.
5. If the air bag system in this
vehicle needs to be modified to
accommodate a disabled person,
contact the Customer Center.WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag.

SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONSThe seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
which are used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Installing Child
Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
Belt” under the “Child Restraints” sec-
tion. The chart below defines the type
of feature for each seating position.
Driver Center Passen-ger
First
Row N/A N/A N/A
Second
Row ALR ALR ALR

N/A — Not ApplicableALR — Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage:
Only pull the belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant's mid-section so as to
not activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. Allow the
webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occu-
pant's mid-section. Slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a
"click."
AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)
In this mode, the shoulder belt is
automatically pre-locked. The belt
will still retract to remove any slack in
the shoulder belt. The Automatic
Locking Mode is available on all rear
passenger-seating positions with a
combination lap/shoulder belt. Use
the Automatic Locking Mode anytime a child safety seat is installed in a
seating position that has a belt with
this feature. Children 12 years old
and under should always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Auto-
matic Locking Mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode.

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.
