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

To prevent excessive batterydrain, use the rear window de-
froster only when the engine is
operating.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the heating ele-
ments:
Use care when washing the insideof the rear window. Do not use
abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window.
Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to
the heating elements. Labels can
be peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru- ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The crossbars on your vehicle are de-
livered stowed within the roof rack
side rails. If adding cargo, deploy the
crossbars. Distribute cargo weight
evenly on the roof rack crossbars, to
maximum of 68 kg. The roof rack
does not increase the total load carry-
ing capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle
plus that on the external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load ca-
pacity.
The crossbars and side rails are de-
signed to carry weight on vehicles
equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 68 kg, and
should be uniformly distributed over
the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
Crossbars are error-proofed and
cannot be deployed or stowed in
the incorrect positions.
To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in the side rails
when they are not in use.
DEPLOYING THE
CROSSBARS
To deploy the crossbars, completely
loosen the thumb screws at both ends
of the crossbar and lift the crossbar
from its stowed position in the side
rail. Repeat with crossbar on the op-
posite side.
Crossbar Stowed In Side Rail
Loosening Crossbars
161
CAUTION!
Check deployed crossbars fre-quently and retighten thumb
screws as necessary.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the
maximum roof rack load capacity
of 68 kg. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and
secure the load appropriately.
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any
loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
The load should be secured andplaced on top of the crossbars, not
directly on the roof. If it is neces-
sary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protec-
tive layer between the load and
the roof surface.
Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels
or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to
both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying
large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic,
can add sudden upward lift to a
load. This is especially true on
large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your ve-
hicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before
driving your vehicle. Improperly
secured loads can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, result-
ing in personal injury or property
damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your
roof rack.
HEADLIGHT WASHER
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The multifunction lever operates the
headlight washers when the ignition
switch is in the ON position and the
headlights are turned on. The multi-
function lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
To use the headlight washers, push
the multifunction lever inward (to-
ward the steering column) to the sec-
ond detent and release it. The head-
light washers will spray a timed high-
pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the
