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 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
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 fi rmly 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 serious
injury or death if the front airbag infl ates.
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 fl exible-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 specifi ed 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.

Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge
of the seat.
• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s
neck and arm.
• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs.
• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat
in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use a
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to drive.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or death
if the passenger’s front airbag infl ates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly,
using a booster seat if needed.
WARNING
*if equipped (Canadian models)
Adding Security with a Tether
Two tether anchorage points are provided behind the rear outer seating positions
and one in the ceiling for the rear center. A child seat that is installed with a seat
belt and comes with a tether can use the tether for additional security.
1. Using an outer anchor: If necessary, remove
the tonneau cover.* Raise the head restraint to
its highest position, then route the tether strap
through the head restraint legs.
Using the center anchor: Lower the head
restraint to its lowest position. Open the anchor
cover. Route the tether strap over the head
restraint.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions. If necessary, reinstall the
tonneau cover.*

Wiper Operation
The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.
Front Wipers
Move the wiper lever up or down to the desired
position.
Headlight-Wiper Integration*
When the headlights are in the AUTO position,
they automatically turn on when the front
wipers operate several times within a certain
interval. The headlights turn off shortly after
the wipers are turned off, or if there is enough
ambient light.
Intermittent Wipers*
When you move the lever to the INT position,
the wipers operate based on the wiper delay.
Adjust the wiper delay using the intermittent
time adjustment ring.
Rear Wiper
When you shift to Reverse (R) and the front
wipers are activated, the rear wiper activates
even if the switch is off.
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defroster
or heated windshield button* to warm the windshield, or manually clear the
windshield of ice and snow before turning on the wipers.

Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a
crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the fl oor.
WARNING
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and
increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.
WARNING
Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can result in
severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.
WARNING
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the
front airbags infl ate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.
WARNING

Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head
restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact
crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head
should rest against the center of the restraint. The
tops of the occupant’s ears should be level with the
center height of the restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while
pressing the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up as
far as it will go. Then push the release button, and
pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs back
in place, then adjust the head restraint to an
appropriate height while pressing the release button.
Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is locked in
position.
In order for the head restraint system to work properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
