THEFT ALARM

To Arm

• Equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button until the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF,” then press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open.

• Not equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open.

To Disarm

• Equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle).

• Not equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and turn the ignition to the ON position.

SEAT BELT

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.

• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.

• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.

Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System

• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear seating positions.

• Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower anchors and top tether anchors.

• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCH system in either or both outboard seating positions or the center position, but not all three at the same time. If a child seat is installed in an outboard seating position using the lower anchors, then the vehicle seatbelt must be used for the center position.

• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchorage.

• The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.

• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.

• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.

GETTING STARTED

• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restrain.

• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.

WARNING!

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.

• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.

• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

FRONT SEATS

WARNING!

Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.

GETTING STARTED

Power Seats

• The power seat switches are located on the outboard side of the front seat cushions.

• The seat switch controls, forward/ backward, up/down or to recline the seat. The passenger’s seat will move up or down, forward or rearward.

• The recline switch controls the angle of the seatback. Press the switch forward or rearward and the seatback will move in either direction.

CAUTION!

DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.

Lumbar Support

• Rotate the control lever forward to increase and rearward to decrease the desired amount of lumbar suppor t.

CAUTION!

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

GETTING STARTED

Memory Seats

• The memory seat feature allows you to save two different driver seating positions, driver’s outside mirror, adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, power tilt and telescopic steering column and radio station preset settings. The memory seat buttons are located on the driver’s door panel.

• Adjust all memory profile settings, press the SET button then press 1 or 2 within five seconds.

• To program a Key Fob to the memory position, press and release the LOCK button within 10 seconds on the Key Fob to be programmed.

• Press 1 or 2 to recall the saved positions, or press UNLOCK on the programmed Key Fob.

• Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further details.

REAR SEAT

Folding Rear Seatback

• Pull on the loops to fold down either or both seatbacks. These loops can be tucked away when not in use.

• When the seatback is raised to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly pulling on the top of the seatback above the seat strap.

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.

• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in an accident. Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system.

HEATED SEATS

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) LEVER

A New Level Of Convenience

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the convenience of cruise control while traveling on highways and major roadways.

• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.

• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration automatically so your vehicle maintains a preset following distance to the preceding vehicle.

WARNING!

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in an accident or serious personal injury. The ACC system:

• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).

• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.

• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.

• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.

• May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example, sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.

• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
