WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (for versions/markets,
where provided) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be
minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, then open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting
occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

LIFTGATE
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked with the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ (Passive Entry) or by activating the
power door lock switch located on either front door
trim panel.
For further information on Keyless Enter-N-Go™
(Passive Entry), refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in
“Starting And Driving”.
NOTE:The liftgate cannot be unlocked or locked with
the manual door lock plungers on the door trim panels

NOTE: Because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can al-
low poison

ous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. These fumes could injure you and your
passengers. 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 blower switch on the climate control is set at
high speed. Do not use the recirculation mode.

Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
turn off when the fault condition no longer exists.
A system fault can occur due to any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next tofacilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres- sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
2.
If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road
tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-
ing limit, a chime will sound and the TPMS Telltale
Light will turn on upon the next ignition switch cycle.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will sound and the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically and the
TPMS Telltale Light will turn off, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
WarningsThe Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is low in one or more of
the four active road tires. In addition, the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display a
graphic showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values in a different color. An
"Inflate Tire to XXX" message will also be displayed.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires with low pressure (those displayed
in a different color in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value as shown in
the "Inflate Tire to XXX" message. Once the system
receives the updated tire pressures, the system will
automatically update, the graphic display in the EVIC
will return to the original color, and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 25 km/h
in order for the TPMS to receive this information. ServiceTPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. In addition, the EVIC will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum of
five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will no longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.

compatible format and is playable on other players. To
help avoid playback problems, use the following guide-
lines when recording discs.
• Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that areclosed are playable.
• For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-Audio sessions, the player will renumber the
tracks so each track number is unique.
• For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or UDF format.
CD-DA may also be used for PCM Audio contained
on CD-Based Data.
• The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99 folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc.
• Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only play the Video_TS portion of the disc.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the DVD player, check with the disc record-
ing software publisher for more information about
burning playable discs.
The recommended method for labeling recordable
discs (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW) is with a
permanent marker. Do not use adhesive labels as they
may separate from the disc, become stuck, and cause
permanent damage to the DVD player. Compressed Audio Files (MP3, WMA AND
ACC)
The DVD player is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 with data bitrates from 32 to 320 kbit/s,
including variable bit rates), WMA (All Standard 8.x,
9.x Windows Media Audio) and ACC (MPEG-4 audio;
sampling frequencies 8 to 48 kHz; mono and stereo)
audio files with the from a CD Data disc (usually a
CD-R or CD-RW).
• The DVD player always uses the file extension to
determine the audio format, so MP3 files must always
end with the extension ".mp3" or ".MP3", WMA files
must always end with the extension ".wma" or
"WMA", and ACC files must end with the extensions
“.acc” or “.m4a”. To prevent incorrect playback, do
not use these extensions for any other types of files.
• For MP3 files, ID3 tag data v1, v1.1, v2 and v2.4 (such as artist name, track title, album, etc.) are supported.
• Any file that is copy protected (such as those down- loaded from many online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.
• Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
player will automatically skip the file and begin playing
the next available file.

SAFETY
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
• Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seatingpositions
•
Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
• Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR) located on top of the front seats (integrated into the head
restraint) (for versions/markets, where provided)
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) that span the front, second, and third row
seating for the driver and passengers seated next to
a window
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel
• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners that may enhance occupant protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event
If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized
seat belts, the seat belts or ISOFIX feature also can
be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. For more information, refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat
Anchorage System.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multi-
stage inflator design. 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 information 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 passengers
can suff er

much greater injuries 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 vehicle. Always be
sure you and others 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 includes you. This can
happen far away from home or on your own street.
