The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) LOCK switch is
located on the instrument panel. The AWD
LOCK indicator light will illuminate when
the switch is turned on. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Warning lights, indicator
lights and audible reminders” in this sec-
tion and “AWD Lock Switch Operations” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Each time you push the switch, the AWD
mode will switch: AUTO→LOCK→AUTO. The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indicators”
in this section.
When the system is enabled:
∙ The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed approxi-
mately 10 minutes before the vehicle is
started. When the vehicle is started and
the system is activated, a visual mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information
display. For additional information, refer
to “Rear Door Alert is activated” in this
section.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not started within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not
be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car started
within 10 minutes for the system to ac-
tivate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated and a driver exits the vehicle af ter
arriving at a destination:
∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a message appears in
the vehicle information display for a
driver to “Dismiss Message” or “Disable
Alert” if desired.
∙ With the system enabled, when the driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert
(horn sound) will occur unless a rear
door is opened and closed within a
short time to deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
∙ If the system is activated but the rear lif tgate is opened before opening a rear
door, the horn will be delayed until af ter
the lif tgate is closed.
∙ If the audible horn alert occurs, a mes- sage will also appear in the vehicle in-
formation display that states, “Check
Rear Seat for All Articles”.

Be careful that your vehicle does not ex-
ceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR
are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. cer-
tification label (located on the driver’s door
pillar).
For additional information regarding GVWR
and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle loading infor-
mation” in the “Technical and consumer in-
formation” section of this manual.
WARNING
∙ Always install the cross bars onto theroof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.
∙ Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
cross bars.
∙ Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle sta-
bility and handling during sudden or
unusual handling maneuvers. ∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly
distributed.
∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load capacity.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
∙ Make sure that all passengers havetheir hands, etc., inside the vehicle

vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.
The power windows operate when the ig-
nition switch is placed in the ON position or
for a period of time af ter the ignition switch
is placed in the OFF position. If the driver’s

CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could re-
sult in a discharged battery.The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
∙ Will operate most radio frequency de- vices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.
∙ Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” in this section.
WARNING
∙ Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot de-
tect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically
stop and reverse, does not meet cur-
rent federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
∙ During the programming procedure your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
