60GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
To close the window part way, lift the window
control to the first detent and release when you
want the window to stop.
NOTE:
If the window runs into any obstacle during
auto-closure, it will reverse direction and
then go back down. Remove the obstacle and
use the window control again to close the
window.
Any impact due to rough road conditions may
trigger the auto reverse function unexpect -
edly during auto-closure. If this happens, pull
the control lightly to the first detent and hold
to close window manually. Auto Up Reset — If Equipped
To reactivate the Auto Up feature, perform the
following steps after vehicle power is restored:

1. Pull the window control up to close the
window completely and continue to hold
the control up for an additional two
seconds after the window is closed.

2. Push the window control down firmly to the second detent to open the window
completely and continue to hold the control
down for an additional two seconds after
the window is fully open.
Sliding Side Door Power Window Control — If
Equipped
Second row passengers may open and close
the sliding door window by a single control on
the door handle assembly.
The controls will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC position and
during power accessory delay.
NOTE:
The controls will not operate if the driver has
activated the Power Window Lockout.
The sliding door windows do not open fully.
They stop several inches above the window
sill.

Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the
perception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a normal
occurrence and can be minimized. If the rear
windows are open and buffeting occurs, open
the front and rear windows together to minimize
the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the
sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the
window is almost closed. To avoid personal
injury be sure to clear your arms, hands,
fingers and all objects from the window path
before closing.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The crossbars on your vehicle are delivered
stowed within the roof rack side rails. If adding
cargo, deploy the crossbars. Distribute cargo
weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars, to
maximum of 150 lbs (68 kg). The roof rack does
not increase the total load carrying capacity of
the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo
inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack
does not exceed the maximum vehicle load
capacity.

Crossbar Stowed In Side Rail

The crossbars and side rails are designed to
carry weight on vehicles equipped with a
luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lbs
(68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed
over the luggage rack crossbars. NOTE:Crossbars are error-proofed and cannot be
deployed or stowed in the incorrect positions.
To help control wind noise, stow the cross
-
bars in the side rails when they are not in use.
Deploying The Crossbars
To deploy the crossbars, completely loosen the
thumb screws at both ends of the crossbar and
lift the crossbar from its stowed position in the
side rail. Repeat with crossbar on the opposite
side.

Loosening Crossbars
Bend the crossbar supports at each end, taking
care to keep hand clear of pivoting joint. Slide
the thumb screw down.

Stowed Position
Deployed Position

Then, position the crossbars across the roof.
CAUTION!
Use care when removing and handling the
crossbars to prevent damage to the vehicle.

WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads
can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high
speeds, resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the roof of your
vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the roof
rack without the crossbars deployed. The
load should be secured and placed on top
of the crossbars, not directly on the roof. If
it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protective layer
between the load and the roof surface.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof
rack load capacity of 150 lb (68 kg). Always
distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible
and secure the load appropriately.
Load should always be secured to cross
bars first, with tie down loops used as addi -
tional securing points if needed. Tie loops
are intended as supplementary tie down
points only. Do not use ratcheting mecha -
nisms with the tie loops. Check the straps
and thumb wheels frequently to be sure
that the load remains securely attached.
CAUTION! (Continued)
Long loads that extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, or
loads with large frontal area should be
secured to both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners
carefully when carrying large or heavy loads
on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to
natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can
add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your
vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued)

NOTE:
Turning the headlights on during the daytime
causes the instrument panel lights to dim. To
increase the brightness, refer to “Interior
Lights” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle.” Intermittent Wiper Options — If Equipped
When ON is selected, the system will automat
-
ically activate the windshield wipers if it senses
moisture on the windshield. To make your

136SAFETY
Side Impacts
The Side Air Bags are designed to activate in
certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) determines whether the
deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. The side impact
sensors aid the ORC in determining the
appropriate response to impact events. The system is calibrated to deploy the Side Air
Bags on the impact side of the vehicle during
impacts that require Side Air Bag occupant
protection. In side impacts, the Side Air Bags
deploy independently; a left side impact deploys
the left Side Air Bags only and a right-side
impact deploys the right Side Air Bags only.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator
of whether or not Side Air Bags should have
deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all side
collisions, including some collisions at certain
angles, or some side collisions that do not
impact the area of the passenger compartment.
The Side Air Bags may deploy during angled or
offset frontal collisions where the front air bags
deploy.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the seat belt
restraint system. Side Air Bags deploy in less
time than it takes to blink your eyes.
WARNING!
Do not mount equipment, or stack luggage
or other cargo up high enough to block the
deployment of the SABICs. The trim
covering above the side windows where the
SABIC and its deployment path are located
should remain free from any obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as intended,
do not install any accessory items in your
vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not
add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle.
Do not add roof racks that require perma
-
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for
installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill
into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
WARNING!
Occupants, including children, who are up
against or very close to Side Air Bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
including children, should never lean on or
sleep against the door, side windows, or
area where the side air bags inflate, even if
they are in an infant or child restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your protec -
tion in all collisions. They also help keep
you in position, away from an inflating Side
Air Bag. To get the best protection from the
Side Air Bags, occupants must wear their
seat belts properly and sit upright with their
backs against the seats. Children must be
properly restrained in a child restraint or
booster seat that is appropriate for the size
of the child.
