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
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not buckled
up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be
thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as asupplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver's Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger's Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted in the
instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words AIRBAG are embossed on the air
bag covers. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag
mounted in the instrument panel below the steering column.
• 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.
• This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or front passenger seat track position sensors that may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon seat position.
• This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/or front passenger seat belt buckle switch that detects whether the driver or front passenger seat belt is fastened. The seat belt buckle switch
may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to protect the driver, front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and their covers are labeled: AIRBAG.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
NOTE:
The Air Bag System is designed to be maintenance free.

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bagswork with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags won't
deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag
deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit
back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
•
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center
of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According
to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK (1–866–732–8243).
•
Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information:
http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm
LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren
• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
• The second row seating positions and the third row center position have lower anchors and top tether anchors.
• You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of the LATCH
system once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness,diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical condi-
tions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
• The steering wheel contains a heating ele-ment that heats the steering wheel to one
temperature setting.
• The heated steering wheel switch is located on the center instrument panel.
• Press the switch once to turn the heating element On. Press the switch a second time
to turn the heating element Off.
• Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on, it will operate for approximately
58 to 70 minutes before automatically shut-
ting off. The heated steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when the steering
wheel is already warm.
TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
• The tilt steering column tilt lever is locatedbelow the steering wheel.
• Push down on the tilt lever to unlock the steering column.
• With one hand firmly on the steering wheel, move the steering column upward or down-
ward as desired. To lengthen or shorten
the steering column, pull the steering wheel
outward or push it inward as desired.
• Pull upward on the tilt lever to lock the column firmly in place.

WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt adjustment must be locked while
driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or driving without the tilt adjustment locked
could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in
you and others being severely injured or killed.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
• Press the switch located on the left side ofthe steering column forward to move the
brake and accelerator pedals away from the
driver and press the switch rearward to move
the pedals closer to the driver.
NOTE:
The pedals cannot be adjusted when the
vehicle is in REVERSE or when the Electronic
Speed Control is set.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under the adjustable pedals or impede its ability to move, as it may
cause damage to the pedal controls. Pedal travel may become limited if movement is stopped
by an obstruction in the adjustable pedal's path.
WARNING!
