NOTE: The switches will not op-
erate if the driver has activated the
Power Window Lockout.
NOTE: The sliding door windows
do not fully open, stopping several
millimeters above the window sill.
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 buffet-
ing with the windows down, or the
sunroof (for versions/markets, where
provided) in certain open or partially
open positions. This is a normal oc-
currence and can be minimized. If the
rear windows are open and buffetingoccurs, open the front and rear win-
dows together to minimize the buffet-
ing. If the buffeting occurs with the
sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting.
SLIDING SIDE DOOR
The sliding door may be opened from
the inside or the outside. Pull outward
on the exterior handle to open the
sliding door. The sliding door inside
handle functions by rocking forward
and back. Rocking the handle back-
wards opens the door and rocking for-
ward releases the hold open latch in
order to close the door.
To keep your door operating properly,
observe the following guidelines:
Always open the door smoothly.
Avoid high impacts against the
door stop when opening the door.
This is very important when your
vehicle is parked on an incline as
the door will slide faster in the
downhill direction.
There is a hold-open latch that is activated when the sliding door is fully opened. This latch will keep
your sliding door open on any in-
cline. To close the sliding door after
the hold-open latch is activated,
you must rock the inside handle
forward or pull outward on the ex-
terior handle.
Always make sure that the sliding
door is fully latched anytime the ve-
hicle is in motion.
NOTE: The left side sliding door
cannot be opened while the fuel
door is open. This feature operates
only when the sliding door is fully
closed prior to opening the fuel
door.
POWER SLIDING SIDE
DOOR (for versions/
markets, where provided)
The power sliding door may
be opened or closed manu-
ally or by using the buttons
on the RKE transmitter,
overhead console switch, or rear door
switch. Pulling the inside or outside

Occupants, including children who
are up against or very close to SAB or
SABIC air bags can be seriously in-
jured or killed. Occupants, especially
children, should not lean on or sleep
against the door, side windows, or
area where the SAB or SABIC air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint. Always sit upright as
possible with your back against the
seat back, use the seat belts properly,
and use the appropriate sized child
restraint, infant restraint or booster
seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
WARNING!
Your vehicle is equipped withSABIC air bags, do not have any
accessory items installed which
will alter the roof, including add-
ing a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Your vehicle is equipped with leftand right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the
location of the SABIC. The area
where the SABIC is located
should remain free from any ob-
structions.
Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and
the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro-
tect the knees of the driver and the
front passenger, and position front oc-
cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im-
proved protection for the driver and front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu-
pant protection.
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
SENSORS AND CONTROLS
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags, and front seat belt pre-
tensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed
to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in cer-
tain frontal collisions depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of collision. Advanced Front
