WARNINGS
All occupants of the vehicle including
the driver should always wear their
safety belts even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system and side
curtain airbag is provided. To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct
or place objects in the deployment
path of the side curtain airbag. If the side curtain airbags have
deployed, the side curtain airbags will
not function again. The side curtain airbags
(including the A, B and C pillar trim and
headliner) must be inspected and serviced
by an authorized dealer. If the side curtain
airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area
will increase the risk of injury in a crash. The side curtain airbags will deploy during
significant side crashes. The side curtain
airbags are mounted to the roof side-rail
sheet metal, behind the headliner, above
each row of seats. In certain sideways
crashes, the side curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle will be activated.
The side curtain airbags are designed to
inflate between the side window area and
occupants to further enhance protection
provided in side impact crashes.
The system consists of the following: •
Side curtain airbags located above the
trim panels over the front and rear side
windows identified by a label or wording
on the headliner or roof-pillar trim.
• A flexible headliner which opens above
the side doors to allow side air curtain
deployment. Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 51).
Children 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the back
seats. The side curtain airbags will not
interfere with children restrained using a
properly installed child or booster seat
because it is designed to inflate downward
from the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.

Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note: You must press each button within
three seconds of each other. Your vehicle
will not remote start if you do not follow this
sequence. The tag with your transmitter details the
starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The
exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will sound if the system fails to start,
unless quiet start is on. Quiet start will run
the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
noise. It can be switched on or off in the
information display. See (page 109). Note:
If the vehicle has been remote started
with an integrated keyhead transmitter, you
must switch the ignition on before driving
your vehicle. With an intelligent access
transmitter, you must press the START/STOP
button on the instrument panel once while
applying the brake pedal before driving your
vehicle.
The power windows will not work during the
remote start and the radio will not turn on
automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If you programmed the
duration to last 10 minutes, the second 10
minutes will begin after what is left of the first
activation time. For example, if the vehicle
had been running from the first remote start
for five minutes, the vehicle will continue to
run now for a total of 15 minutes. You can
extend the remote start up to a maximum of
35 minutes.
