88 Seats and Restraints
Securing Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Front
Passenger Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a
safer place to secure a forward-facing child
restraint. SeeWhere to Put the Restraint
0 75.
In addition, the vehicle has a passenger
sensing system which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System 065 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0114 for
more information, including important
safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the
front. This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag
deploys.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
close to the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a forward
position.
Even if the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, no system is fail-safe. No
one can guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual circumstance,
even though it is turned off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints in a
rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If you
secure a forward-facing child restraint in
the front outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far back as it
will go. It is better to secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
SeePassenger Sensing System 065 for
additional information.
If the child restraint uses a top tether, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 076 for top tether anchor
locations. Do not secure a child seat in a position
without a top tether anchor if a national or
local law requires that the top tether be
anchored, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have a top
tether, and that the tether be attached.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child
restraint and the following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before securing the forward-facing child
restraint. Move the seat upward or the
seatback to an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight installation of
the child restraint. There must be finger
clearance between the pushbutton and
the child restraint.
When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, the OFF indicator on the
passenger airbag status indicator should
light and stay lit when you start the
vehicle. See Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0114.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

6. To tighten the belt, push down on thechild 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.
There must be finger clearance between
the release pushbutton and the child
restraint. If there is not clearance
between the buckle release pushbutton
and the child restraint, move the 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 airbag is 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 065.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the
vehicle seat belt and let it return to the
stowed position.

When the vehicle is started, this light
flashes and a chime may come on to remind
passengers to fasten their seat belt. Then
the light stays on solid until the belt is
buckled. This cycle continues several times if
the front passenger remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is moving.
If the front passenger seat belt is buckled,
neither the chime nor the light comes on.
The front passenger seat belt reminder light
and chime may turn on if an object is put
on the seat such as a briefcase, handbag,
grocery bag, laptop, or other electronic
device. To turn off the reminder light and/or
chime, remove the object from the seat or
buckle the seat belt.
Second Row Passenger Seat Belt
Reminder Lights
The vehicle may have second row passenger
seat belt reminder lights.
When the vehicle is started, these lights
come on solid to remind rear passengers to
fasten their seat belts. Then each light may
stay on solid or flash, and a chime may
come on if the rear passenger remains
unbuckled, or becomes unbuckled, when the
vehicle is moving. A shaded or green light
indicates the seat belt is buckled.
If all rear seat positions are buckled, neither
the chime nor the lights will come on.
The rear passenger seat belt reminder light
and chime may come on if an object is put
on the seat such as a briefcase, handbag,
grocery bag, laptop, or other electronic
device. To turn off the reminder light and/or
chime, remove the object from the seat or
buckle the seat belt.
Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an electrical
problem with the airbag system. It is
located in the instrument cluster. The
system check includes the airbag sensor(s),
the passenger sensing system, the
pretensioners, the airbag modules, the
wiring, and the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System 060.
The airbag readiness light comes on for
several seconds when the vehicle is started.
If the light does not come on then, have it
fixed immediately.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag system
might not be working properly. The
airbags in the vehicle might not inflate in
a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury,
have the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center (DIC)
message may also come on.

114 Instruments and Controls
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system.
SeePassenger Sensing System 065 for
important safety information. The overhead
console has a passenger airbag status
indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the passenger
airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF
for several seconds as a system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the status
indicator will light either ON or OFF to let
you know the status of the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag.
If the word ON is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the
front outboard passenger frontal airbag is
allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has turned off the
front outboard passenger frontal airbag. If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there are no
lights at all, or if the airbag readiness light
is on, there may be a problem with the
lights or the passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service right away.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on and stays on, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have the vehicle serviced right
away. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0113
for more information, including important
safety information.
Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on briefly
when the vehicle is started, as a check to
show the light is working. If the light stays on, or comes on while
driving, there could be a problem with the
electrical charging system. Have it checked
by your dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the 12-volt battery.
If a short distance must be driven with the
light on, be sure to turn off all accessories,
such as the radio. Find a safe place to stop
the vehicle.
Low State of Charge Light
This light comes on when the vehicle state
of charge is low. Proceed to a charging
station to charge the vehicle.

Propulsion Power Messages
REDUCED ACCELERATION DRIVE
WITH CARE
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions, the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
This message can be displayed when the
high voltage battery charge level is low. This
is normal behavior as the vehicle is limiting
power due to reduced battery capability. Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the vehicle has been off for
two minutes.
PROPULSION POWER REDUCED DUE TO
TEMPERATURE
This message displays when the vehicle is
on, the battery temperature is low, and
when the vehicle’s performance is limited.
The duration of the limited vehicle
performance depends, in part, on the high
voltage battery charge level. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively
high, as the vehicle is driven, the battery
temperature will increase, and the vehicle
will return to normal operation. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively low
the vehicle will not return to normal
operation until charged.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully
charged, to keep the high voltage battery
temperature ready for the next drive. This is
important when outside temperatures are
extremely hot or cold.

142 Lighting
Automatic Headlamp System
When the exterior lamp control is set to
Auto and it is dark enough outside, the
headlamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor.
The system may also turn on the headlamps
when driving through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light outside when the
vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the Daytime RunningLamps (DRL). During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright
position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control 0143.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will turn off or may change
to DRL.
The automatic headlamp system turns off
when the exterior lamp control is set to On
or the vehicle is off.
Lamps On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are activated in
daylight with the vehicle on and the exterior
lamp control is set to Auto, the headlamps,
parking lamps, and other exterior lamps
come on. The transition time for the lamps
coming on varies based on wiper speed.
When the wipers are not operating, these
lamps turn off. Set the exterior lamp control
to On or Off to disable this feature.
Hazard Warning Flashers
|: Press this button on the overhead
console to make the front and rear turn
signal lamps flash on and off. This warns
others that you are having trouble. Press
again to turn the flashers off.
The turn signals do not work while the
hazard warning flashers are on.
The hazard warning flashers turn on
automatically if the airbags deploy.
