If the liftgate release button isactivated while the power lift-
gate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
The power liftgate buttons will not operate if the shift lever is in
gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 km/h.
The power liftgate will not oper- ate in temperatures below 24°C
or temperatures above 62°C. Be
sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate be-
fore pressing any of the power
liftgate buttons.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions within the
same cycle, the system will auto-
matically stop and must be
opened or closed manually.WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open canallow poisonous exhaust gases
into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by
these fumes. 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
climate control blower switch is
set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions
Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger Supplemental Active Head Re-
straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat- able Curtains (SABIC) that span
the front, second, and third row
seating for the driver and passen-
gers seated next to a window
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
An energy-absorbing steering col- umn and steering wheel
Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
Front seat belts incorporate preten- sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event

All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALRs), which lock the
seat belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the
35

desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat
If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa-
tion on ISOFIX, see ISOFIX — Child
Seat Anchorage System.
WARNING!
Never place a rear facing infantseat in front of an air bag. A de-
ploying Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rearward facing infant seat.
Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear
seat.
NOTE: The Advanced Front Air
Bags have a multistage inflator de-
sign. 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 infor-
mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.
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 in-
cludes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury
caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle
should be belted at all times.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with combination lap/
shoulder belts.
The belt webbing in the retractor is
designed to lock during very suddenstops or collisions. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal condi-
tions. However, in a collision the belt
will lock and reduce the risk of you
striking the inside of the vehicle or
being thrown out.
The driver is responsible for respect-
ing, and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the car also respect, the
local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts. Always fasten the
seat belts before starting.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.

WARNING!(Continued)
Wearing a seat belt incorrectly isdangerous. Seat belts are de-
signed to go around the large
bones of your body. These are the
strongest parts of your body and
can take the forces of a collision
the best.
Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in
a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of part of
the belt. Follow these instructions
to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.
Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt.
People belted together can crash
into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never
use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt
for more than one person, no
matter what their size. Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions
1. Enter the vehicle and close the
door. Sit back and adjust the seat.
2. The seat belt latch plate is near the
seatback of the front seats and next to
your arm in the rear seats. Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide
the latch plate up the webbing as far
as necessary to allow the belt to go
around your lap.
WARNING!
A belt that is worn under your
arm is dangerous. Your body
could strike the inside surfaces of
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
the vehicle in a collision, increas-
ing head and neck injury. A belt
worn under the arm can cause
internal injuries. Ribs aren't as
strong as shoulder bones. Wear
the belt over your shoulder so that
your strongest bones will take the
force in a collision.

A shoulder belt placed behind you
will not protect you from injury
during a collision. You are more
likely to hit your head in a collision
if you do not wear your shoulder
belt. The lap and shoulder belt are
meant to be used together.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit,
insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click”.
Pulling Out Belt And Latch Plate
Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle

WARNING!
A belt that is buckled into thewrong buckle will not protect you
properly. The lap portion could
ride too high on your body, possi-
bly causing internal injuries. Al-
ways buckle your belt into the
buckle nearest you.

A belt that is too loose will not
protect you properly. In a sudden
stop you could move too far for-
ward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
4. Position the lap belt across your
thighs, below your abdomen. To re-
move slack in the lap belt portion, pull
up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in a collision.
WARNING!
A lap belt worn too high can in- crease the risk of injury in a colli-
sion. The belt forces won't be at
the strong hip and pelvic bones,
but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt
as low as possible and keep it
snug.
A twisted belt may not protect you properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle,
take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not use devices (clips, fasten-ings etc.) that prevent the seat
belts from laying close to the oc-
cupants' bodies.
Do not carry children on a pas- senger’s lap using only one seat
belt for protecting both of them.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor
will withdraw any slack in the belt.
6. To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed po-
sition. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
belt to retract fully.
Removing Slack From Belt
38

WARNING!
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 immedi-
ately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if
they have been damaged (bent re-
tractor, torn webbing, etc.).
Third Row Center Shoulder Belt
Instructions
The shoulder belt for the third row
center seat is located in the headliner
slightly behind the third row seat.
Pull the strap down and secure the
small latch plate of the lap belt into
the small buckle until you hear a
“click”.
Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. When the belt is
long enough to fit , insert the large
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” The retractor should
withdraw any slack in the belt.
To release the small latch plate, posi-
tion the end of the large latch plate
against the red button on the small
latch plate and push upward. Rein-
stall the latch plates into the head-
liner.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure
Use the following procedure to un-
twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web-
bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the front seats and the second row
outboard seats, the shoulder belt an-
chorage can be adjusted upward or
downward to help position the belt
away from your neck. The upper an-
chorage can be adjusted upward by
pushing anywhere on the anchorage.
To move the anchorage downward,
squeeze the actuation buttons while
simultaneously pushing down on the
anchorage assembly.
As a guide, if you are shorter than
average you will prefer a lower posi-
tion, and if you are taller than average
you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the anchorage, try
to move it up or down to make sure
that it is locked in position.
WARNING!
The seat belts height must only be
adjusted when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.

SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with Auto-
matic Locking Retractors (ALR)which are used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Installing Child Re-
straints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section.
The chart below defines the type of
feature for each seating position.
Driver
Center Passenger
First Row N/AN/AALR (for versions/markets, where
provided)
Second Row ALRN/A ALR
Third Row ALRCINCH ALR
N/A — Not Applicable
ALR —
Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage:
Only pull the belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant's mid-section so as to not
activate the ALR. If the ALR is acti-
vated, you will hear a ratcheting sound
as the belt retracts. Allow the webbing
to retract completely in this case and
then carefully pull out only the amount
of webbing necessary to comfortably wrap around the occupant's mid-
section. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a "click."
AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)
In this mode, the shoulder belt is auto-
matically pre-locked. The belt will still
retract to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking
Mode is available on all passenger-
seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child safety
seat is installed in a seating position
that has a belt with this feature. Chil-
dren 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
40

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Auto-
matic Locking Mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode.
WARNING!
The belt and retractor assemblymust be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.
Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
FEATURE
This vehicle has a safety belt system
with an energy management feature
in the front seating positions to help
further reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a head-on collision. This
safety belt system has a retractor as-
sembly that is designed to release
webbing in a controlled manner. This
feature is designed to help reduce the
belt force acting on the occupant’s
chest.
WARNING!
The belt and retractor assemblymust be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.
Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten-
sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat
belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli-
sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
NOTE: These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt
placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly
and positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC). Like the air bags, the preten-
sioners are single use items. A de-
ployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.

SUPPLEMENTAL ACTIVE
HEAD RESTRAINTS (AHR)
— (for versions/markets
where provided)
These head restraints are passive, de-
ployable components, and vehicles
with this equipment cannot be readily
identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half
being soft foam and trim, the back
half being decorative plastic.
How The Active Head Restraints
(AHR) Work
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines whether the sever-
ity, or type of rear impact will require
the Active Head Restraints (AHR) to
deploy. If a rear impact requires de-
ployment, both the driver and front
passenger seat AHRs will be deployed.
When AHRs deploy during a rear im-
pact, the front half of the head re-
straint extends forward to minimize
the gap between the back of the occu-
pant’s head and the AHR. This systemis designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and
front passenger in certain types of
rear impacts.
NOTE: The Active Head Re-
straints (AHR) may or may not de-
ploy in the event of a front or side
impact. However if during a front
impact, a secondary rear impact
occurs, the AHR may deploy based
on several factors, including the
severity and type of the impact.
CAUTION!
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in
a vehicle's seat until the head re-
straints are placed in their proper
positions in order to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a
collision.
NOTE: For more information on
properly adjusting and positioning
the head restraint, refer to “Ad-
justing Active Head Restraints” in
“Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle”.
Resetting Active Head Restraints
(AHR)
If the Active Head Restraints are trig-
gered in a collision, you must reset the
head restraint on the driver’s and
front passenger seat. You can recog-
nize when the Active Head Restraint
has been triggered by the fact that
they have moved forward (as shown
in step three of the resetting proce-
dure).
1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the
rear seat.
