of the seat could cause you to lose control.The seat belt might not be properly
adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed.Only adjust a seat while the
vehicle is parked.

WARNING!
•Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible
to children).Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by
the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch.Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
•In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof.You could also be seriously injured or killed.Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
•Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof.Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening.Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound.If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window.This will minimize buffeting.
EURO TWIN CLUTCH SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION
•This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Euro Twin Clutch Six Speed Trans-
mission.This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster AutoStick®
shifting.
•During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel
exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position.This behavior is nor-
mal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE:
•Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission.
An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions
are needed.
•The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.This is a normal condi-
tion, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
•
At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the
transmission changes gears.These noises are normal and will not damage the transmission.
•Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short
period of time.This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.

the vehicle checked immediately.
Passenger Air Bag Disable (PAD) Light
The Passenger Air Bag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light tells the driver and front passenger
when the front passenger air bag is turned off.The PAD Indicator light illuminates to show
that the front passenger air bag will not inflate during a collision requiring air bags.When the
right front passenger seat is empty or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the pas-
senger air bag will not inflate even though the PAD indicator light is not illuminated.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR).The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deploy-
ment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s sys-
tems performed.The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and
safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
•Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened.
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded.However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed.In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as
law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
CAP-LESS FUEL FILL FUNNEL
•The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is located in the rear cargo area behind the
rear seat.If your vehicle is out of fuel and an auxiliary fuel can is needed, insert the
funnel into the filler neck and proceed to fill the vehicle.
•For more information on the Cap-Less Fuel Fill Funnel refer to “Adding Fuel” in “Oper-
ating Your Vehicle” in this manual.
