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
turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can't make the
child restraint secure, try a differ-
ent seating position.
Buckle the child into the seat ac- cording to the child restraint manu-
facturer's directions.WARNING!
When your child restraint is not in
use, secure it in the vehicle with the
seat belt or remove it from the ve-
hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, it could strike the occupants
or seatbacks and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System
Each vehicle, except com-
mercial cargo vehicles, is
equipped with the child re-
straint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. Two ISOFIX child re-
straint anchorage systems are in-
stalled on all second-row seats and in the center position on all third row
fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats
also feature tether strap anchorages,
located in the rear surface of the seat-
back. In addition, all third row fold-
in-floor seats are equipped with a
child restraint tether anchor at the
center seating position.
NOTE:
When using the ISOFIX attach-
ing system to install a child re-
straint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for oc-
cupant restraints are stowed and
out of reach of children. It is
recommended that before in-
stalling the child restraint,
buckle the seat belt so the seat
belt is tucked behind 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 vehicle that the
seat belts are not toys and
should not be played with, and
never leave your child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
If your child restraint seat is not ISOFIX-compatible, install the
restraint using the vehicle seat
belts.
Installing the Lower Attachments:
1. The vehicle lower anchorages are
round bars located at the rear of the
seat cushion where it meets the seat-
back.
2. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
child restraint attachment straps (ref-
erence the child restraint seat instruc-
tions) to ease the installation.
NOTE: It is recommended to
loosen the top tether strap and
route it loosely prior to securing
the lower anchors so the top tether
strap is not trapped between the
vehicle seat and child restraint.60
To recline, lean forward slightly, lift
the lever, then push back to the de-
sired position and release the lever.
Lean forward and lift the lever to
return the seatback to its normal po-
sition. Using body pressure, lean for-
ward and rearward on the seat to be
sure the seatback has latched.WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback re-
clined so that the shoulder belt is no
longer resting against your chest. In
a collision you could slide under the
seat belt, which could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear im-
pact. Head restraints should be ad-
justed so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occu-
pants must be properly adjusted
prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a ve-
hicle with the head restraints im-
properly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front
Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive,
deployable components, and vehicles
with this equipment cannot be readily
identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half
being soft foam and trim, the back
half being decorative plastic. When AHRs deploy during a rear im-
pact, the front half of the head re-
straint extends forward to minimize
the gap between the back of the occu-
pant’s head and the AHR. This system
is designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and
front passenger in certain types of
rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further in-
formation
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.

CARGO AREA STORAGE
The liftgate sill plate has a raised line
with the statement “Load To This
Line”. This line indicates how far
rearward cargo can be placed without
interfering with liftgate closing.
NOTE: With all rear seats stowed
or removed, 1.2 x 2.4 m sheets of
building material will fit on the
vehicle floor with the liftgate
closed. The front seats must be
moved slightly forward of the rear-
most position.
In addition to the rear cargo area, on
some models there are open storage
areas located in the rear trim panels.CONSOLE FEATURES
There are three consoles available:
Basic, Premium and Super.
WARNING!
Do not operate this vehicle with a
console compartment lid in the
open position. Cellular phones, mu-
sic players, and other handheld
electronic devices should be stowed

CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel
wool, a bristle brush, or metal pol-
ishes. Do not use oven cleaner.
These products may damage the
wheel’s protective finish. Avoid au-
tomatic car washes that use acidic
solutions or harsh brushes that may
damage the wheel’s protective fin-
ish. Use only the approved wheel
cleaners or equivalent.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning
Procedure (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in
the following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean,
dry towel.
Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue. For grease stains, apply a high
quality cleaner to a clean, damp
cloth and remove the stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap
residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Instrument Panel Surfaces
The instrument panel cover has a low
glare surface, which minimizes reflec-
tions in the windshield. Do not use
protectants or other products which
may cause undesirable reflections.
Use soap and warm water to restore
the low glare surface.
Cleaning Leather Upholstery
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of
dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Care should be taken to avoid soaking your leather upholstery with
any liquid. Please do not use polishes,
oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to
clean your leather upholstery. Appli-
cation of a leather conditioner is not
required to maintain the original con-
dition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respi-
ratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic
headlights and fog lights (if
equipped) that are lighter and less
susceptible to stone breakage than
glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
