TABLE OF CONTENTS

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).

•The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion where
it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child
restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger along the gap between the seatback
and seat cushion.
•
In addition, there are tether strap an-
chors located behind each rear seatback,
near to the floor.
• If a child restraint installed in the center position blocks the seat belt webbing or
buckle for the outboard position, do not use
that outboard position. If a child seat in the
center position blocks the outboard LATCH
anchors or seat belt, do not install a child
seat in that outboard position.
Installing The Child Restraint
Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or
more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that
you can more easily attach the hooks or
connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the selected seating position.
3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• Except for the center position in the third row, all of the seat belts in the passenger seatingpositions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR). The third row
center position is equipped with a cinching latch plate. Both types of seat belts are designed to
keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will
loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.

5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage,connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See below for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
6. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle
Seat Belt):
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to the
tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors or the
vehicle seat belt.
1. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and thechild seat.
2. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two posts.
If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the tether strap around the outboard side of
the head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that
you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be
severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front
passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in
this position.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the manufac-
turer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• 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 secure a
child restraint top tether strap.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not slip into
the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

IN-FLOOR STORAGE — STOW'N GO®
Second Row Seat Storage Bins
• Storage bins are located in the floor in front of the second row seats that can be used when thesecond row seat is in the upright position. Pull up on the storage bin latch to open the cover.
Slide the storage bin locking mechanism to the "Lock" position to allow greater access to the
storage bin.
Cargo Area Storage
• The liftgate sill plate has a raised line with the statement “Load To This Line”. This lineindicates how far rearward cargo can be placed without interfering with liftgate closing.
WARNING!
In a collision, serious injury could result if the seat storage bin covers are not properly latched.
Do not drive the vehicle with the storage bin covers open. Keep the storage bin covers closed
and latched while the vehicle is in motion. Do not use a storage bin latch as a tie down.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
• The crossbars on your vehicle are deliveredstowed within the roof rack side rails. When
installed, the roof rack can hold a maximum
of 150 lbs (68 kg) of evenly distributed
weight.
Installing The Crossbars
• To install the crossbars, completely loosen the thumb screws at both ends and lift the
crossbar from its stowed position.
• Bend the pivot points at each end of the crossbar and slide the thumb screw down.
• Set the crossbars into position and tighten the thumb screws.
NOTE:
Make sure the directional arrow on the crossbar aligns with the directional arrow on the side rail.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
