seat upward and repeat
prior installation steps.
Otherwise secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
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” under
Passenger Sensing System
0 72.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position.

the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If the Traction Control
System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system activates while
ACC is engaged, ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control0291. When
road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be
turned back on. ACC will not
engage if the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC electronic
stability control system is
disabled.
ACC can reduce the need for
you to frequently brake and
accelerate, especially when
used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate
highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take
over the control of braking or
acceleration more often.{Warning
ACC has limited braking
ability and may not have
time to slow the vehicle
down enough to avoid a
collision with another vehicle
you are following. This can
occur when vehicles
suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane.
Also see “Alerting the
Driver” in this section.
Complete attention is
always required while driving
and you should be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0242.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake
for children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.On winding and hilly roads
or when the sensors are
blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may
not detect a vehicle
ahead. Keep the entire
front of the vehicle clean.
.Visibility is low, such as in
fog, rain, or snow
conditions. ACC
performance is limited
under these conditions.
.On slippery roads where
fast changes in tire
traction can cause
excessive wheel slip.
.When towing a trailer.

Assist uses ultrasonic sensors
in the bumpers to measure the
distance between the vehicle
and objects. The system
calculates the distance
between vehicle and object via
measuring the time it takes for
the ultrasonic waves to
bounce back from the object.
Park Assist works only at
speeds up to about 11 Km/h
(7 mph). An illuminated LED in
the parking assist button
indicates that the system is
ready to operate. The sensors
on the bumpers may detect
objects up to 1.8m (6 ft) behind
and 1.25m (4 ft) in front of the
vehicle within a zone 25 cm
(10 in) high off the ground and
below bumper level. These
detection distances may be
shorter during warmer or
humid weather. Blocked
sensors will not detect objects
and can also cause false
detections. Keep the sensors
clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice,and slush; and clean sensors
after a car wash in freezing
temperatures.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is
no substitute for careful and
attentive driving. The Park
Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or
that are too close or too far
from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater
than 11 km/h (7 mph). To
prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check
the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before
moving forward or backing.
How the System Works
The instrument cluster may
have a Park Assist display with
bars that show
“distance to
object,” driving direction, and
object location information for
the Park Assist system. As the
object gets closer, more bars
light up and the bars change
color from yellow to amber
to red.
Beeps sound to warn the
driver of certain objects that
are detected around the
vehicle. The frequency of
beeps increases as the vehicle
gets closer to the object.
When the object is very close
to the vehicle, the beeps are
continuous. Beeps for the

.Electronic stability control or
antilock brakes are
activated.
.The driver opens the door
with an unbuckled seat belt.
The brake holds the vehicle
until the parking brake or
brake is applied, or the vehicle
is shifted into P (Park).
To cancel APA, touch
Oagain.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The APA system may require a
short period of driving along
curves to calibrate.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If equipped, vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
have the Backing Warning
System and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB)
system. When in R (Reverse), Backing Warning alerts of rear
objects at vehicle speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph),
and RAB may automatically
brake hard at speeds between
1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).
The Backing Warning System
will beep once from the rear
when an object is first
detected, or pulse twice on
both sides of the Safety Alert
Seat. When the system
detects a potential crash,
beeps will be heard from the
rear, or five pulses will be felt
on both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat. There may also be
a brief, sharp application of
the brakes.
{Warning
The Backing Warning
System only operates at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). It does not detect
children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
are too close or too far from
the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher
backing speeds, there may
not be enough time for the
short, sharp application of
the vehicle brake system to
occur. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage,
even with the Backing
Warning System, always
check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.
When the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), if the system
detects the vehicle is backing
too fast to avoid a crash with
a detected object behind your
vehicle in your path, it may
automatically brake hard to a
stop to help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by a backing
crash.

Front Pedestrian
Braking (FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end
crashes with nearby
pedestrians when driving in a
forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a
nearby pedestrian is detected
ahead. When approaching a detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps
or pulses the driver seat. FPB
can provide a boost to braking
or automatically brake the
vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) System may
also respond to pedestrians.
See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
0349.
The FPB system can detect
and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During
daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately
40 m (131 ft). During nighttime
driving, system performance is
very limited.
{Warning
FPB does not provide an
alert or automatically brake
the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian. FPB may not
detect pedestrians, including
children:
.When the pedestrian is
not directly ahead, fully
visible, or standing upright,
or when part of a group.
.Due to poor visibility,
including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is
blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
