How to Use 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 pulled
out.
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 and
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic
locking mode and activate the vehicle
sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
Safety Belt Extension Assembly WARNING
Do not use extensions to change the
fit of the shoulder belt across the
torso.
If the safety belt is too short when fully
extended, a safety belt extension assembly
can be obtained from an authorized dealer. Use only extensions manufactured by the
same supplier as the safety belt.
Manufacturer identification is on a label
located either at the end of the webbing
or on the retractor behind the trim. Also,
use the safety belt extension only if the
safety belt is too short for you when fully
extended.
SAFETY BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
Position the safety belt height
adjuster so that the belt rests across
the middle of your shoulder. Failure
to adjust the safety belt properly could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so
the belt rests across the middle of your
shoulder.
To adjust the shoulder belt height:
1. Pull the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down.
2. Release the button and pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is
locked in place.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM
Alarm System
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorized access to your vehicle
through the doors and the hood. It also
protects the audio unit.
Triggering the Alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:
•
If someone opens a door, the liftgate
or the hood without a valid key or
remote control.
• If someone removes the audio or
navigation system.
• If you switch the ignition on without a
valid key.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the hazard
warning flasher will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.
Arming the Alarm
To arm the alarm, lock your vehicle. See
Locks (page 51).
Disarming the Alarm
Vehicles Without Keyless Entry
Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking
the doors with the key and switching the
ignition on with a correctly coded key or
unlocking the doors with the remote
control.

Information Indicator
It will illuminate when a new
message is stored in the
information and entertainment
display. See Information Messages
(page 87).
Low Fuel Level Warning Lamp If it illuminates, refuel as soon as
possible.
Low Tire Pressure Warning It will illuminate when your tire
pressure is low. If the lamp
remains on with the engine
running or when driving, check
your tire pressure as soon as possible.
It will also illuminate momentarily when
you switch the ignition on to confirm the
lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, or begins
to flash at any time, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.
Safety Belt Minder Warning Lamp It will illuminate and a chime will
sound to remind you to fasten
your safety belt. See
Safety
Belt Minder (page 30).
Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon
indicator light stays illuminated
after the engine is started, it
indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics
(OBD-II) system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emissions
control system. Refer to On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Fuel and
Refueling chapter for more information
about having your vehicle serviced. See
Emission Control System
(page 119). If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately.
WARNING
Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic
converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components,
possibly causing a fire. Have an authorized
dealer service your vehicle immediately. The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first turned
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready
for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until the engine is cranked, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
I/M testing. See
Emission Control
System (page 119).
Shift Indicator It will illuminate to inform you
that shifting to a higher gear may
give better fuel economy and
lower CO2 emissions. It will not illuminate
during periods of high acceleration, braking
or when the clutch pedal is pressed.

Hints on Driving with an Automatic
Transmission
WARNINGS
Do not apply the brake and
accelerator pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds as this
limits engine rpm and labors the
transmission. This may make it difficult to
maintain speeds in traffic and lead to an
accident or injury. Do not idle the engine for long
periods of time in D with the brakes
applied. This could damage the
transmission and may lead to an accident
or injury. Note:
The system carries out a series of
checks when you switch the ignition on and
off. You may hear clicking sounds. This is
normal.
Moving off
1. Press the brake pedal to apply the brakes.
2. Move the transmission selector lever to
R,D or S.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal.
Stopping
1. Release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Move the transmission selector lever to
N or P. Downshift
Press the accelerator pedal fully with the
transmission selector lever in either
D,
S
mode or manual shifting position to select
a lower gear for optimum performance.
Release the accelerator pedal when you
no longer require downshift.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or
Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
it may be rocked out by shifting between
D
and R, stopping between shifts in a
steady pattern. Press the accelerator
lightly in each gear.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature as
this can damage the transmission.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute as this can damage the
transmission or the tires and the engine may
overheat.
Emergency Park Position Release
Lever WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working. Failure to adhere to warning
indicators may lead to an accident or injury. If you release the parking brake and
the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated the brakes may not be
working correctly. Have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer as soon
as possible. Failure to adhere to warning
lamps and indicators may lead to an
accident or injury. Use the emergency P position release lever
to move the transmission selector lever
from the
P position in the event of a
malfunction or if your vehicle battery has
no charge.
