NOTE:
If anything obstructs the powerliftgate while it is closing or
opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
There are also pinch sensors at- tached to the side of the liftgate
opening. Light pressure any-
where along these strips will
cause the liftgate to return to the
open position.
During power operation, whether liftgate is fully open or
fully closed, the liftgate chime
will beep several times indicat-
ing power operation is in
progress.
The power liftgate must be in the full open or close positions for
any of the buttons to operate. If
the liftgate is not in the full open
or close positions, it must be
opened or closed manually. If the liftgate release button is
activated while the power lift-
gate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
The power liftgate buttons will not operate if the shift lever is in
gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 km/h.
The power liftgate will not oper- ate in temperatures below 24°C
or temperatures above 62°C. Be
sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate be-
fore pressing any of the power
liftgate buttons.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions within the
same cycle, the system will auto-
matically stop and must be
opened or closed manually.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open canallow poisonous exhaust gases
into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate
closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate open, make sure that
all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is
set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions
Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
Supplemental Active Head Re- straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)
33
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat-able Curtains (SABIC) that span
the front, second, and third row
seating for the driver and passen-
gers seated next to a window
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
An energy-absorbing steering col- umn and steering wheel
Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
Front seat belts incorporate preten- sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event
All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Lock-
ing 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 seatIf 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 on ISOFIX, see ISOFIX — Child
Seat Anchorage System.
NOTE: The Advanced Front Air
Bags have a multistage inflator de-
sign. This allows the air bag to
have different rates of inflation
based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision.
Please 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.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passen-
gers can suffer much greater inju-
ries if you are not properly buckled
up. You can strike the interior of
your vehicle or other passengers, or
you can be thrown out of the ve-
hicle. Always be sure you and oth-
ers in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause a collision that in-
cludes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury
caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle
should be belted at all times.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with combination lap/
shoulder belts.
The belt webbing in the retractor is
designed to lock during very sudden
stops or collisions. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal condi-
tions. However, in a collision the belt
will lock and reduce the risk of you
striking the inside of the vehicle or
being thrown out.

WARNING!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargoarea, inside or outside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are de-
signed to go around the large
bones of your body. These are the
strongest parts of your body and
can take the forces of a collision
the best.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in
a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of part of
the belt. Follow these instructions
to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.
Two people should never be
belted into a single seat belt.
People belted together can crash
into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never
use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt
for more than one person, no
matter what their size.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions
1. Enter the vehicle and close the
door. Sit back and adjust the seat.
2. The seat belt latch plate is near the
seatback of the front seats and next to
your arm in the rear seats. Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide
the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go
around your lap.
WARNING!
A belt that is worn under your
arm is dangerous. Your body
could strike the inside surfaces of
the vehicle in a collision, increas-
ing head and neck injury. A belt
worn under the arm can cause
internal injuries. Ribs aren't as
strong as shoulder bones. Wear
the belt over your shoulder so that
your strongest bones will take the
force in a collision.
(Continued)Pulling Out Belt and Latch Plate
35
WARNING!(Continued)
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from in-
jury during a collision. You are
more likely to hit your head in a
collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoul-
der belt are meant to be used to-
gether.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit,
insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click”.
WARNING!
A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you
properly. The lap portion could
ride too high on your body, possi-
bly causing internal injuries. Al-
ways buckle your belt into the
buckle nearest you.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden
stop you could move too far for-
ward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
4. Position the lap belt across your
thighs, below your abdomen. To re-
move slack in the lap belt portion, pull
up 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.
WARNING!
A lap belt worn too high can in- crease the risk of internal injury
in a collision. The belt forces
won't be at the strong hip and
pelvic bones, but across your ab-
domen. Always wear the lap belt
as low as possible and keep it
snug.
A twisted belt may not protect you properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle,
take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle
Removing Slack From Belt
36
5. 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.
6. To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed po-
sition. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
belt to retract fully.WARNING!
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. Damaged
parts must be replaced immedi-
ately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if
they have been damaged (bent re-
tractor, torn webbing, etc.).Third Row Center Shoulder Belt
Instructions
The shoulder belt for the third row
center seat is located in the headliner
slightly behind the third row seat.
Pull the strap down and secure the
small latch plate of the lap belt into
the small buckle until you hear a
“click”.
Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. When the belt is
long enough to fit , insert the large
latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.” The retractor should
withdraw any slack in the belt.
To release the small latch plate, posi-
tion the end of the large latch plate
against the red button on the small
latch plate and push upward. Rein-
stall the latch plates into the head-
liner. Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure
Use the following procedure to un-
twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web-
bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.
