To override the anti-pinch feature,
hold the window switch all the way
up to the second position. The
window will raise for as long as the
switch is held. Once the switch is
released, the express mode is
reactivated.
In this mode, the window can close
on an object in its path. Use care
when using the override mode.
Window Indexing
Indexing lowers the window a small
amount when the door is opened.
When the door is closed, the
window will raise fully. If the vehicle
loses power, you may need to
reprogram the windows.
Comfort Open
To open the windows remotely,
press and hold
Kon the RKE
transmitter until the windows
fully open.
Programming the Power
Windows
If the battery on the vehicle has
been recharged or disconnected,
or is not working, the windows with
the express-up feature will need to
be reprogrammed for the feature to
work. If power is lost, the rear
windows must be reprogrammed
first. Before reprogramming, replace
or recharge the vehicle's battery.
To program a window:
1. With the ignition in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY, or when
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is active, close all doors.
2. Pull and hold the power window switch until the window
is fully closed. Continue
holding the switch up for
approximately five seconds
after the window is completely
closed.
3. Press the power window switch down until the window is fully
open. Continue holding the switch down for approximately
five seconds after the window
is completely open.
The window is now reprogrammed.
Repeat the process for the other
windows.

glare. Detach the sun visor from the
center mount to pivot to the side
window or, if equipped, extend
along the rod.

Seats and Restraints 55
To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Always stow the safety belt slowly.
If the safety belt webbing returns
quickly to the stowed position, the
retractor may lock and cannot be
pulled out. If this happens, pull the
safety belt straight out firmly to
unlock the webbing, and then
release it. If the webbing is still
locked in the retractor, see your
dealer.Before a door is closed, be sure the
safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.
Safety Belt Presenter
The safety belt presenters bring the
front outboard safety belts to the
front to help fasten them.
The presenter comes out when:
.
The respective door is closed
and the ignition is turned on.
. The ignition is on and the door is
closed. The presenter may automatically
retract when any of the following
occur:
.
The respective door is opened
again.
. The key is removed from
ignition.
. The respective latch plate is
inserted into the buckle.
. A time-out of 45 seconds
elapsed.
. The vehicle is driven longer than
15 seconds with a speed of
more than 3 mph.
If the safety belt presenter does not
retract automatically, push it back
slightly.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for front and rear
outboard occupants. Although the
safety belt pretensioners cannot be
seen, they are part of the safety belt
assembly. They can help tighten the
safety belts during the early stages
of a moderate to severe frontal,
near frontal, or rear crash if the

Seats and Restraints 63
In many crashes severe enough to
inflate the airbag, windshields are
broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to inflate
only once. After an airbag
inflates, you will need some new
parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the
airbag system will not be there
to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service manual
for the vehicle covers the need
to replace other parts.
. The vehicle has a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which
records information after a
crash. See Vehicle Data
Recording and Privacy 0357
and Event Data
Recorders 0358.
. Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag system.
Improper service can mean that the airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for
service.
Roll Bars
{Warning
Vehicle rollovers are
unpredictable and dangerous
events that may result in injury or
death regardless of the roll bar or
any other feature. No feature can
fully protect an occupant in every
crash, including a rollover.
The roll bars are under covers
behind the rear head restraints. The
roll bars are designed to deploy if
the sensing system predicts that the
vehicle is about to roll over on its
side. In addition, the roll bars are
designed to deploy in moderate to
severe side crashes depending on
the location of the impact, as well as
in a severe frontal impact. Roll bars
are not designed to deploy in rear
impacts. The roll bars deploy with the
convertible top open or closed. If the
roll bars deploy, do not operate the
convertible top.
Do not place any objects on the
covers of the roll bars behind the
head restraints.
Have the roll bars checked if the
vehicle has been in a crash, or if the
airbag readiness light stays on after
starting or driving the vehicle. See
Airbag Readiness Light
0101.
Passenger Sensing
System
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position. The
passenger airbag status indicator
will light on the center stack when
the vehicle is started.

72 Seats and Restraints
Every time infants and young
children ride in vehicles, they should
have the protection provided by
appropriate child restraints. Neither
the vehicle's safety belt system nor
its airbag system is designed
for them.
Children who are not restrained
properly can strike other people,
or can be thrown out of the vehicle.
{Warning
Never hold an infant or a child
while riding in a vehicle. Due to
crash forces, an infant or a child
will become so heavy it is not
possible to hold it during a crash.
For example, in a crash at only
40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb)
infant will suddenly become a
110 kg (240 lb) force on a person's
arms. An infant or child should be
secured in an appropriate
restraint.{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Never put a rear-facing
child restraint in the front
outboard seat. Secure a
rear-facing child restraint in a rear
seat. It is also better to secure a
forward-facing child restraint in a
rear seat. If you must secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front outboard seat, always
move the front passenger seat as
far back as it will go.
Q: What are the different types ofadd-on child restraints?
A: Add-on child restraints, which
are purchased by the vehicle
owner, are available in four basic
types. Selection of a particular
restraint should take into
consideration not only the child's
weight, height, and age but also
whether or not the restraint will
be compatible with the motor
vehicle in which it will be used.
For most basic types of child
restraints, there are many
different models available. When
purchasing a child restraint, be
sure it is designed to be used in
a motor vehicle. If it is, the

Avoiding Untrusted Media
Devices
When using media devices such as
CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray Discs®, SD
cards, USB drives, and mobile
devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could
contain files that affect system
operation or performance. Avoid use
if the content or origin cannot be
trusted.
CD Player
The CD player is capable of playing:
. Most audio CDs
. CD-R
. CD-RW
. MP3, unprotected WMA, and
AAC formats
When playing any compatible
recordable disc, the sound quality
may be reduced due to the disc, the method of recording, the quality of
the music recorded, or how the disc
has been handled.
There may be increased skipping,
difficulty reading recorded tracks,
finding tracks, and/or loading and
ejecting. If these problems occur,
check the disc for damage or try a
known good disc.
To avoid damage to the CD player:
.
Do not use scratched or
damaged discs.
. Do not apply labels to discs. The
labels could get caught in the
player.
. Insert only one disc at a time.
. Keep the loading slot free of
foreign materials, liquids, and
debris.
