6. To tighten the belt, push downon the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the
belt, and feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor. When
installing a forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful to
use your knee to push down on
the child restraint as you
tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the
retractor to make sure the
retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat
Steps 5 and 6. 7. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child restraint
at the seat belt path and
attempt to move it side to side
and back and forth. When the
child restraint is properly
installed, there should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement.
If the airbags are off, the OFF
indicator in the passenger airbag
status indicator will come on and
stay on when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed
and the ON indicator is lit, see “If
the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child
Restraint” underPassenger Sensing
System 065.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
Pedestrian Protection
System
Your vehicle is equipped with a
pedestrian protection system which
is designed to lift the rear part of the
hood when a pedestrian is detected
during a frontal impact within the
approximate speed range.
When the vehicle is involved in a
frontal impact with an object or a
pedestrian, sensors in the front
bumper determine the force applied
by the object to the front bumper.
When the frontal impact speed is
approximately between 25 km/h
(15 mph) and 50 km/h (31 mph), the
pedestrian protection system lifts
the rear part of the hood to help
reduce pedestrian head injuries.
Lifting the rear part of the hood
creates more clearance between the
hood and the hard components in
the engine compartment.
In addition, the front bumper of the
vehicle was designed to help reduce
the injury to a pedestrian’s legs.

{Warning
After the hood has lifted, the hood
hinge and latch area may be hot.
Do not touch the pedestrian
protection system components.
The pedestrian protection system is
designed to lift the hood only once.
The pedestrian protection system
may not activate under the following
conditions:
. The pedestrian impact is outside
the range of the sensors located
on the front bumper.
. The sensors on the front bumper
are damaged.
. The path of the lifting hood is
blocked by snow or ice. Clear
any ice or snow from the hood
before driving.
. Winter fronts, grille covers,
or other aftermarket equipment
is attached to the bumper. .
Vehicle speed at impact is less
than 25 km/h (15 mph) or greater
than 50 km/h (31 mph).
. The vehicle impacts a small
object.
For other frontal impacts or vehicle
speeds, the airbags may also
deploy. See Airbag System 059.
After the pedestrian protection
system has deployed, the hood will
remain in the raised position and the
driver ’s view may be reduced by the
raised hood.
{Warning
Do not drive the vehicle when the
hood is raised.
Operating the vehicle with the
hood raised can obstruct your
view and may cause a collision
resulting in damage to the
vehicle, damage to other property,
personal injury, or even death.
Caution
After the pedestrian protection
system has deployed, see your
dealer for service. The hood
assembly including hinges, latch,
and actuators must be replaced.
If towing service is not available, the
hood may be repositioned
temporarily. See “Temporary Hood
Repair” following.
The SERVICE PEDESTRIAN
PROTECTION SYSTEM message
will appear when there is a problem
with the pedestrian protection
system. See your dealer for service
immediately.
During a frontal impact involving a
pedestrian, the vehicle may record
information about the condition of
the vehicle and how it was
operated. See Vehicle Data
Recording and Privacy 0352.

Temporary Hood Repair
If the rear of the hood is raised, the
hood may be repositioned
temporarily if a towing service is not
available.
{Warning
Before beginning the procedure,
read all the instructions. Failure to
read and follow the instructions
could injure you or others, and
damage the vehicle.
{Warning
After the hood has lifted, the hood
hinge and latch area may be hot.
Do not touch the pedestrian
protection system components.
Allow the engine to cool before
attempting any repair.
{Warning
You or others could be injured
when the hood is lowered or
latched.
Be sure to keep fingers and other
body parts away from the edge of
the hood and fenders.
1. Place both hands on top of the right corner of the hood near
the windshield and push the
hood down quickly.
If the hood does not latch, push
down again with slightly more
force until the hood is latched
securely.
2. Repeat the previous step to latch the left side of the hood.
3. Pull up on the rear corners of the hood to make sure the
hood is latched securely and
will not lift.
{Warning
Do not drive the vehicle if the
hood is not securely latched at
both rear corners and the front
latch.
Operating your vehicle without the
hood securely latched can lead to
a collision resulting in damage to
your vehicle, damage to other
property, personal injury, or even
death.
4. Drive directly to a dealer for service. If you cannot go in for
service immediately, have the
vehicle towed.
Some noise will occur when
the vehicle is driven while the
