TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passengeras a supplement 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 SRS 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 and a Supplemental Passenger Side
Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the glove compartment.
NOTE:
The Driver and Front Passenger Advanced Front Air Bags are certified to the new
Federal regulations for Advanced Air Bags.
• 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.
•
If the Air Bag Warning Lightis not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service dealer immediately.
•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 is 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 also
labeled: SRS AIRBAG.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) to provide enhanced protection for an occupant during a side impact. The Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags are located in the outboard side of the front
and rear seats.
• This vehicle may be equipped with a front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) that may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags
based upon occupant weight.
NOTE: • Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open duringair bag deployment.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The air bags work 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 (SABIC) and Supplemental
Side Air Bag (SAB) 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 (SABIC)
and Supplemental Side Air Bag (SAB) 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 informa-
tion: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

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 theanchor and the child 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 projectileinside 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 manufacturer’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.

There are two ventilated seat soft-keys
that allow the driver and passenger to
operate the seats independently. The
ventilated seat soft-keys are located in
the touchscreen controls. The ventilated
seat switches are used to control the
