SAFETYSAFETY
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels 
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
•  The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
• 
The exhaust system may have been damaged.
•  The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull ex\
haust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the 
tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system a\
s shown
below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
parked
vehicle with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and 
even kill you.
Avoid
 any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.
WARNING
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon monoxide gas. 
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage door is 
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to 
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped 
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and 
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All seven or eight seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with 
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely 
while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the 
retractor locks to restrain your body. The second- and third-row passenger’s seat 
belts also have a lockable retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance 
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moderate 
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to
inflate the front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat Belts Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• 
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that 
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the\

effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a 
crash.
• 
Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• 
Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve 
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective 
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Regularly check the condition of your seat belts. Check for frays, cuts, burns, 
and wear, and that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
• No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that does not 
appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly 
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as soon 
as possible.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injury or 
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be
 sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them 
properly.
WARNING

SAFETYSAFETY
Protecting Infants
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the 
infant reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the infant
is at least one year old. Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat for
a child up to two years old if the child’s height and weight are appropriate for a
rear-facing seat.
Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear 
seating position. Rear-facing child seats should
never be installed in a forward-facing position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front
passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back 
in the desired position. If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child 
seat directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as 
needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing
child seat.
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or
death during a crash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.
WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can 
result in serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused seat 
belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.
WARNING Protecting Smaller Children
If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicated by the child 
seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured 
forward-facing child seat.
We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing
child seat in a rear seating position.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat
can be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags 
that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag 
off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in seri\
ous
injury
 or death if the front airbag inflates.
If
 you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat 
as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.
WARNING
Selecting a Child Seat
Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). 
Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-type connector. 
Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can 
only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child 
seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this
manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible 
child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. 
This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be 
secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addition, the 
child seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-
compatible seat once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child 
seat owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.
Important considerations when selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
•  The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
•  The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

18 || 19
SAFETYSAFETY
Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in each of the second- and third-
row seats. A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the\
rigid or
flexible type of connectors.
1. Locate the lower anchors under the marks.
2. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then
attach the child seat to the lower anchors
according to the instructions that came with the
child seat. Make sure that the lower anchors
are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other 
object.
To install a child seat in the second-row center
seat, remove the covers on each lower end of the
seat-back by pulling on the handles.
3. Raise the head restraint to its uppermost position,
then route the tether strap between the head 
restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook
onto the anchor.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions.
5. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by 
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little 
movement should be felt.
6. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child 
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor 
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and 
locked.

Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child seat 
according to the seat maker’s instructions, and
insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the 
latch plate fully until it clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the 
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable 
retractor.
4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the 
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the
retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the 
shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not 
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and 
repeat steps 3 – 4.
5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the 
buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from 
the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place 
your weight on the child seat and push it into the
vehicle seat.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by 
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little 
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child 
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor 
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and 
locked.
 To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to 
wind up all the way.
