KEY FOB
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button,
as long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is in the passenger compart-
ment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has four
operating positions, three of which are
labeled and will illuminate when in posi-
tion. The three positions are OFF, ACC,
and ON/RUN. The fourth position is
START, during start RUN will illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE trans-
mitter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead
battery. In this situation a back up method
can be used to operate the ignition switch.
Put the nose side (side opposite of the
emergency key) of the Key Fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and push to
operate the ignition switch.
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four
operating positions, three with detents
and one that is spring-loaded. The detent
positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
START position is a spring-loaded momen-
tary contact position. When released from
the START position, the switch automati-
cally returns to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™, the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) will display the
ignition switch position (OFF/ACC/RUN).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) — If Equipped” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.

SEAT BELT
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack inthe lap portion, pull up a bit 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.
• 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.
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.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
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 immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent
retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices
that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
