Child-Protection Door Lock System —
Rear Doors
To provide a safer environment for small chil -
dren riding in the rear seats, the rear doors
are equipped with a Child-Protection Door
Lock system. To use the system, open each rear door, use
a flat blade screwdriver (or emergency key)
and rotate the dial to the lock or unlock posi
-
tion. When the system on a door is engaged,
that door can only be opened by using the
outside door handle even if the inside door
lock is in the unlocked position.

NOTE:
When the Child-Protection Door Lock
system is engaged, the door can be
opened only by using the outside door
handle even though the inside door lock is
in the unlocked position.
After disengaging the Child-Protection
Door Lock system, always test the door
from the inside to make certain it is in the

that there is no one left inside.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
Manual Adjustment (Rear Seats)
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With Fold-Flat
Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear
seat can be folded flat. This allows for
extended cargo space and still maintains
some rear seating room.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a
collision. Remember that the rear doors
can only be opened from the outside when
the Child-Protection locks are engaged
(locked).
WARNING!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli -
sion, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which
could cause a collision and serious injury
or death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.
WARNING! (Continued)

The release lever will show a red indicator
while in the unlocked position. Once the seat
is locked in, the red indicator will no longer
be visible.
Driver Memory Seat — If Equipped
This feature allows the driver to store up to
two different memory profiles, for easy recall
through a memory switch. Each memory
profile contains desired position settings for
the driver seat and a set of desired radio
station presets.
The memory switch is located on the driver's
side door panel. The switch contains three
buttons, the set (S) button to activate the
memory save function, and memory profile
buttons (1) and (2). The memory buttons
allow the driver to recall either of the two
pre-programmed memory profiles by pushing
the appropriate number button on the
switch.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.

your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.

Front Ventilated Seats — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with ventilated
seats, the seat cushion and seat back will
have fans that draw the air from the
passenger compartment and move air
through fine perforations in the seat cover to
help keep the driver and front passenger

located within the Uconnect system. You can
gain access to the control buttons through
the climate screen or the controls screen.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the
risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impact. Head restraints
should be adjusted so that the top of the
head restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
NOTE:
Do not reverse the head restraints (making
the rear of the head restraint face forward) in
an attempt to gain additional clearance to
the back of your head.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will
not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improp -
erly adjusted or removed could cause
serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.

being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously
injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passen -
gers are also properly secured.
Do not allow small children to operate
the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object, to project
through the sunroof opening. Injury may
result.
Do not use the sunroof and its related
parts for supporting and/or grabbing
purposes. Serious personal injury may
result to fingers and other body parts as
well as damage to the sunroof.
