The power window switches remain
active for up to 10 minutes (depend-
ing on the accessory delay setting)
after the ignition switch has been
turned to OFF. Opening a vehicle
front door will cancel this feature.
Auto Up Feature With Anti-Pinch
Protection (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The front driver and front passenger
switches may be equipped with an
Auto Up feature. Lift the window
switch fully upward to the second de-
tent, release, and the window will go
up automatically.
To stop the window from going all the
way up during the Auto Up operation,
push down on the switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the
window switch to the first detent and
release when you want the window to
stop.NOTE:
If the window runs into any ob-
stacle during auto-closure, it
will reverse direction and then
go back down. Remove the ob-
stacle and use the window
switch again to close the win-
dow.
Any impact due to rough road conditions may trigger the auto
reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this hap-
pens, pull the switch lightly to
the first detent and hold to close
window manually.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection
when the window is almost closed.
To avoid personal injury be sure to
clear your arms, hands, fingers and
all objects from the window path
before closing. Auto Up Reset (for versions/
markets, where provided)
To reactivate the Auto Up feature,
perform the following steps after ve-
hicle power is restored:
1. Pull the window switch up to close
the window completely and continue
to hold the switch up for an additional
two seconds after the window is
closed.
2. Push the window switch down
firmly to the second detent to open the
window completely and continue to
hold the switch down for an addi-
tional two seconds after the window is

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.

2. Position the hands on the top of
the deployed AHR at a comfortable
position.
3. Pulldownthenrearward to-
wards the rear of the vehicle then
down to engage the locking mecha-
nism. 4. The AHR front soft foam and trim
half should lock into the back decora-
tive plastic half.
NOTE:
If you have difficulties or prob-
lems resetting the Active Head
Restraints, see an authorized
dealer. For safety reasons, have the Ac-
tive Head Restraints checked by
a qualified specialist at an au-
thorized dealer.
ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by el-
evating the vehicle’s hood upon an
impact with a pedestrian or other ob-
ject. The system is automatically acti-
vated when the vehicle is moving
within a specified vehicle speed range.
In order to detect a range of pedestri-
ans, other objects that are impacted
may result in an Active Hood deploy-
ment.
Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Electronic Pedestrian Protection
Module (EPPM) determines if deploy-
ment of the actuators in a frontal im-
pact is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, the EPPM determines
when to deploy the actuators. The
impact sensors are located within the
front bumper area.
The EPPM monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood

system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.
The EPPM contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
Service Active Hood System
If the EPPM has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag-
nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re-
cord the nature of the malfunction. Ifthe Air Bag Warning Light is illumi-
nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.
In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac-
tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.
NOTE: After any Active Hood de-
ployment, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer im-
mediately.
Temporary Hood Reset Position
44
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down
until an audible and tactile detent is
detected (approximately 5 mm
above the fender). This should se-
cure both hood hinge reset mecha-
nisms.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag WarningLight in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood
to enhance pedestrian protection.
If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Modifications to any part of theActive Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or
cover.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
Do not attempt to modify any part of your Active Hood system.
The Active Hood may deploy ac-
cidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for any hood
service.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Drivers must be aware of pedes-trians. Always be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, and obstructions. You
are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)
BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts.
The feature is active whenever the
ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and
remain on until both front seat belts
are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt

Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as thebattery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in-
volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.

VOICE COMMAND
For best performance, adjust the
rearview mirror to provide at least 1
cm gap between the overhead con-
sole (for versions/markets, where
provided) and the mirror.
Always wait for the beep before speaking.
Speak normally without pausing, just as you would speak to a person
sitting a few meters away from you.
Make sure that no one other than you is speaking during a Voice
Command period.
Performance is maximized under:
low-to-medium blower setting,
low-to-medium vehicle speed,
low road noise,
smooth road surface,
fully closed windows, dry weather condition.
Even though the system is designed
for users speaking in European
English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, or Spanish accents, the sys-
tem may not always work for some.
When navigating through an auto- mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure
to say “Send.”
Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is not in motion is
recommended.
It is not recommended to store simi- lar sounding names in the
Uconnect® Phonebook.
Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect® Phone Local) name
recognition rate is optimized when
the entries are not similar.
Numbers must be spoken in single digits. “800” must be spoken
“eight-zero-zero” not “eight
hundred.”
