A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS

Your vehicle is equipped with a key­less ignition system. This system con­sists of a Key Fob with Remote Key­less Entry (RKE) transmitter and a
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with
integral ignition switch. You can in­sert the Key Fob into the ignition
switch with either side up.

Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature

This vehicle may be equipped with
the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, refer
to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa­tion.

WIRELESS IGNITION
NODE (WIN)

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) op­erates similarly to an ignition switch.
It has four operating positions, three
with detents and one that is spring­loaded. The detent positions are OFF,
ACC, and ON/RUN. The START po­sition is a spring-loaded momentary
contact position. When released from

the START position, the switch auto­matically returns to the ON/RUN po­sition.

1 — OFF
2 — ACCESSORY
3 — ON/RUN
4 — START

NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go, the Elec­tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display the ignition
switch position (OFF/ACC/RUN).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor­mation Center (EVIC) (for
versions/markets, where pro­vided)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further in­formation.

Key Fob

The Key Fob operates the ignition
switch. Insert the square end of the
Key Fob into the ignition switch lo­cated on the instrument panel and
rotate to the desired position. It also
contains the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and an emergency
key, which stores in the rear of theKey
Fob.

The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go
dead. The emergency key is also for
locking the lower glove compartment.
You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.

To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch at the top of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.

12

Emergency Key Removal

NOTE: You can insert the double­sided emergency key into the lock
cylinder with either side up.

Removing Key Fob From Ignition

Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn
the Key Fob to the OFF position and
then remove the Key Fob.

NOTE: Power window switches
will also remain active for up to 10
minutes after the ignition switch
has been turned to OFF, depending
upon the accessory delay setting.
Opening either front door will can­cel this feature.

WARNING!

• Never leave children alone in a
vehicle. Leaving unattended chil­dren in a vehicle is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa­tally injured. Don't leave the keys
in the ignition. A child could op­erate power windows, other con­trols, or move the vehicle.

•

Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key
Fob from the ignition and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle un­attended.

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

Opening the driver's door when the
Key Fob is in the ignition and the
ignition switch position is OFF or
ACC, a chime will sound to remind
you to remove the key.

NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition re­minder only sounds when the Key
Fob is placed in the OFF or ACC
ignition position.

If your vehicle is equipped with Key­less Enter-N-Go, opening the driver’s
door when the vehicle’s ignition
switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN
(engine stopped) will cause the re­minder chime to sound. Refer to
“Starting Procedures” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa­tion.

STEERING WHEEL
LOCK

Your vehicle may be equipped with a
passive electronic steering wheel lock.
This lock prevents steering the vehicle
without the ignition key. The steering
wheel lock has six positions (one every
60 degrees). If the steering wheel is
moved to one of these six position with
the key in the off positions, the steer­ing wheel will lock.

13

To Manually Lock The
Steering Wheel

With the engine running, rotate the
steering wheel one-half revolution to
3:00 or 9:00 position, turn off the
engine and remove the key. Turn the
steering wheel slightly in either direc­tion until the lock engages.

To Release The Steering
Wheel Lock

Cycle the ignition and start the en­gine.

NOTE: If you turned the wheel to
the right to engage the lock, you
must turn the wheel slightly to the
right to disengage it. If you turned
the wheel to the left to engage the
lock, turn the wheel slightly to the
left to disengage it.

SENTRY KEY® (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system
prevents unauthorized vehicle opera­tion by disabling the engine. The sys­tem does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, re­gardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.

The system uses a Key Fob with Re­mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit­ter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN)and
a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only
Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and oper­ate the vehicle.

After cycling the ignition to the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security
Light will turn on for three seconds
for a bulb check. If the light remains
on after the bulb check, it indicates
that there is a problem with the elec­tronics. In addition, if the light begins
to flash after the bulb check, it indi­cates that someone used an invalid

Key Fob to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the en­gine being shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation (ve­hicle running for longer than 10 sec­onds), it indicates that there is a fault
in the electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.

All of the Key Fobs provided with
your new vehicle have been pro­grammed to the vehicle electronics.

REPLACEMENT KEYS

NOTE: Only Key Fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle elec­tronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a Key
Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any
other vehicle.

CAUTION!

Always remove the keys from the
vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.

14

Duplication of Key Fobs may be per­formed at an authorized dealer.

NOTE: When having the Sentry
Key® Immobilizer system ser­viced, bring all vehicle ignition
keys with you to an authorized
dealer.

CUSTOMER KEY
PROGRAMMING

Programming Key Fobs or RKE
transmitters may be performed at an
authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the vehicle doors, liftgate/power­liftgate, hood and power sliding doors
for unauthorized entry and the igni­tion switch for unauthorized opera­tion. When the alarm is activated, the
interior switches for door locks, power
sliding doors and power liftgate are
disabled. The Vehicle Security Alarm
provides both audible and visual sig­nals. If something triggers the alarm,
and no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after 29 seconds, and turn off

all of the visual signals after an addi­tional 31 seconds, then the Vehicle
Security Alarm will rearm itself.

TO ARM THE SYSTEM

Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle
Security Alarm:

1. Remove the key from the ignition
system (refer to "Starting Proce­dures" in "Starting And Operating"
for further information).

• For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, make sure the vehicle
ignition system is "OFF".

• For vehicles not equipped with Key­less Enter-N-Go, make sure the ve­hicle ignition system is "OFF" and the
key is physically removed from the
ignition.

2. Perform one of the following
methods to lock the vehicle:

• Press LOCK on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver
and/or passenger door open.

• Press the LOCK button on the exte­rior Passive Entry Door Handle with a
valid Key Fob available in the same

15

Starting Your Vehicle" for further in­formation).

• Press the LOCK button on the Re­mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit­ter.

3. If any doors are open, close them.

TO DISARM THE SYSTEM

The Vehicle Security Alarm can be
disarmed using any of the following
methods:

• Press the UNLOCK button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter.

• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock
Door Handle (for versions/
markets, where provided), refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go" in "Things
To Know Before Starting Your Ve­hicle" for further information).

• Cycle the vehicle ignition system
out of the OFF position.

• For vehicles equipped with Key­less Enter-N-Go, press the Key­less Enter-N-Go Start/Stop but­ton (requires at least one valid
Key Fob in the vehicle).

• For vehicles not equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go, insert a
valid key into the ignition switch
and turn the key to the ON posi­tion.

NOTE:

• The driver's door key cylinder
and the liftgate button on the
RKE transmitter cannot arm or
disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

• The Vehicle Security Alarm re­mains armed during power lift­gate entry. Pressing the liftgate
button will not disarm the Ve­hicle Security Alarm. If someone
enters the vehicle through the
liftgate and opens any door the
alarm will sound.

• When the Vehicle Security
Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.

The Vehicle Security Alarm is de­signed to protect your vehicle; how­ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re­gardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.

If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes discon­nected, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will remain armed when the battery is
reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound. If this oc­curs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

16

sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate be-

fore pressing any of the power
liftgate buttons.

• If the power liftgate encounters
multiple obstructions within the
same cycle, the system will auto­matically stop and must be
opened or closed manually.

WARNING!

• Driving with the liftgate open can
allow poisonous exhaust gases
into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate
closed when you are operating the
vehicle.

• If you are required to drive with
the liftgate open, make sure that
all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is
set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re­straint systems:

• Three-point lap and shoulder belts
for all seating positions

• Advanced Front Air Bags for driver
and front passenger

• Supplemental Active Head Re­straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)

33

• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat­able Curtains (SABIC) that span
the front, second, and third row
seating for the driver and passen­gers seated next to a window

• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)

• An energy-absorbing steering col­umn and steering wheel

• Knee bolsters/blockers for front
seat occupants

• Front seat belts incorporate preten­sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event

•

All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Lock­ing Retractors (ALRs), which lock
the seat belt webbing into position
by extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child
seat or secure a large item in a seat

If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also

can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa­tion on ISOFIX, see ISOFIX — Child
Seat Anchorage System.

NOTE: The Advanced Front Air
Bags have a multistage inflator de­sign. This allows the air bag to
have different rates of inflation
based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision.

Please pay close attention to the infor­mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.

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.

Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.

Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause a collision that in­cludes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.

Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the ve­hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury
caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle
should be belted at all times.

LAP/SHOULDER BELTS

All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with combination lap/
shoulder belts.

The belt webbing in the retractor is
designed to lock during very sudden
stops or collisions. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal condi­tions. However, in a collision the belt
will lock and reduce the risk of you
striking the inside of the vehicle or
being thrown out.

34

WARNING!

• It is 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.

• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of 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.

• Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is
dangerous. Seat belts are de­signed to go around the large
bones of your body. These are the
strongest parts of your body and
can take the forces of a collision
the best.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Wearing your belt in the wrong
place could make your injuries in
a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of part of
the belt. Follow these instructions
to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.

• Two people should never be
belted into a single seat belt.
People belted together can crash
into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never
use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt
for more than one person, no
matter what their size.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions

1. Enter the vehicle and close the
door. Sit back and adjust the seat.

2. The seat belt latch plate is near the
seatback of the front seats and next to
your arm in the rear seats. Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide
the latch plate up the webbing as far

as necessary to allow the belt to go
around your lap.

Pulling Out Belt and Latch Plate

WARNING!

• A belt that is worn under your
arm is dangerous. Your body
could strike the inside surfaces of
the vehicle in a collision, increas­ing head and neck injury. A belt
worn under the arm can cause
internal injuries. Ribs aren't as
strong as shoulder bones. Wear
the belt over your shoulder so that
your strongest bones will take the
force in a collision.

(Continued)

35

WARNING! (Continued)

• A shoulder belt placed behind
you will not protect you from in­jury during a collision. You are
more likely to hit your head in a
collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoul­der belt are meant to be used to­gether.

3. When the belt is long enough to fit,
insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click”.

Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle

WARNING!

• A belt that is buckled into the
wrong buckle will not protect you
properly. The lap portion could
ride too high on your body, possi­bly causing internal injuries. Al­ways buckle your belt into the
buckle nearest you.

• A belt that is too loose will not
protect you properly. In a sudden
stop you could move too far for­ward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

4. Position the lap belt across your
thighs, below your abdomen. To re­move slack in the lap belt portion, pull
up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in a collision.

Removing Slack From Belt

WARNING!

• A lap belt worn too high can in­crease the risk of internal injury
in a collision. The belt forces
won't be at the strong hip and
pelvic bones, but across your ab­domen. Always wear the lap belt
as low as possible and keep it
snug.

• A twisted belt may not protect
you properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle,
take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.

36

5. Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor
will withdraw any slack in the belt.

6. To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed po­sition. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
belt to retract fully.

WARNING!

A frayed or torn belt could rip apart
in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, or loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immedi­ately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if
they have been damaged (bent re­tractor, torn webbing, etc.).

Third Row Center Shoulder Belt
Instructions

The shoulder belt for the third row
center seat is located in the headliner
slightly behind the third row seat.

Pull the strap down and secure the
small latch plate of the lap belt into
the small buckle until you hear a
“click”.

Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. When the belt is
long enough to fit , insert the large
latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.” The retractor should
withdraw any slack in the belt.

To release the small latch plate, posi­tion the end of the large latch plate
against the red button on the small
latch plate and push upward. Rein­stall the latch plates into the head­liner.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure

Use the following procedure to un­twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.

1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.

2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.

3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web­bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.

4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.

37

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage

In the front seats and the second row
outboard seats, the shoulder belt an­chorage can be adjusted upward or
downward to help position the belt
away from your neck. The upper an­chorage can be adjusted upward by
pushing anywhere on the anchorage.
To move the anchorage downward,
squeeze the actuation buttons while
simultaneously pushing down on the
anchorage assembly.

When you release the anchorage, try
to move it up or down to make sure
that it is locked in position.

SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS

The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with Auto­matic Locking Retractors (ALR)

which are used to secure a child re­straint system. For additional infor­mation, refer to “Installing Child Re­straints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section.
The chart below defines the type of
feature for each seating position.

vided)

• N/A — Not Applicable

• ALR — Automatic Locking Retrac­tor

38

If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage:

Only pull the belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant's mid-section so as to
not activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting

sound as the belt retracts. Allow the
webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occu­pant's mid-section. Slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a
"click."

AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)

In this mode, the shoulder belt is au­tomatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking
Mode is available on all passenger­seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child safety
seat is installed in a seating position
that has a belt with this feature. Chil­dren 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat.

How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode

1. Buckle the combination lap and

shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and

pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the

belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.

How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Auto­matic Locking Mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode.

WARNING!

• The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.

• Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT
FEATURE

This vehicle has a safety belt system
with an energy management feature
in the front seating positions to help
further reduce the risk of injury in the

event of a head-on collision. This
safety belt system has a retractor as­sembly that is designed to release
webbing in a controlled manner. This
feature is designed to help reduce the
belt force acting on the occupant’s
chest.

WARNING!

• The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.

• Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.

SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS

The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten­sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat

39

belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli­sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.

NOTE: These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt
placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly
and positioned properly.

The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC). Like the air bags, the preten­sioners are single use items. A de­ployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.

SUPPLEMENTAL ACTIVE
HEAD RESTRAINTS (AHR)

These head restraints are passive, de­ployable components, and vehicles
with this equipment cannot be readily
identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half
being soft foam and trim, the back
half being decorative plastic.

How The Active Head Restraints
(AHR) Work

The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines whether the sever­ity, or type of rear impact will require
the Active Head Restraints (AHR) to
deploy. If a rear impact requires de­ployment, both the driver and front
passenger seat AHRs will be de­ployed.

When AHRs deploy during a rear im­pact, the front half of the head re­straint extends forward to minimize
the gap between the back of the occu­pant’s head and the AHR. This system
is designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and
front passenger in certain types of
rear impacts.

NOTE: The Active Head Re­straints (AHR) may or may not de­ploy in the event of a front or side
impact. However if during a front
impact, a secondary rear impact
occurs, the AHR may deploy based
on several factors, including the
severity and type of the impact.

1 — Head Re­straint Front Half
(Soft Foam and
Trim)

2 — Seatback 4 — Head Re-

3 — Head Re­straint Back Half
(Decorative Plas­tic Rear Cover)

straint Guide
Tubes

CAUTION!

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
collision.

NOTE: For more information on
properly adjusting and positioning
the head restraint, refer to “Ad­justing Active Head Restraints” in

40

“Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle”.

Resetting Active Head Restraints
(AHR)

If the Active Head Restraints are trig­gered in a collision, you must reset the
head restraint on the driver’s and
front passenger seat. You can recog­nize when the Active Head Restraint
has been triggered by the fact that
they have moved forward (as shown
in step three of the resetting proce­dure).

1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the
rear seat.

Hand Positioning Points On AHR

2. Position the hands on the top of
the deployed AHR at a comfortable
position.

3. Pull down then rearward to­wards the rear of the vehicle then
down to engage the locking mecha­nism.

1 — Downward Movement
2 — Rearward Movement

3 — Final Downward Movement To

4. The AHR front soft foam and trim
half should lock into the back decora­tive plastic half.

AHR In Reset Position

NOTE:

• If you have difficulties or prob­lems resetting the Active Head
Restraints, see an authorized
dealer.

• For safety reasons, have the Ac­tive Head Restraints checked by
a qualified specialist at an au­thorized dealer.

ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM

The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by el­evating the vehicle’s hood upon an
impact with a pedestrian or other ob­ject. The system is automatically acti­vated when the vehicle is moving
within a specified vehicle speed range.

41

In order to detect a range of pedestri­ans, other objects that are impacted
may result in an Active Hood deploy­ment.

Deployment Sensors And Controls

The Electronic Pedestrian Protection
Module (EPPM) determines if deploy­ment of the actuators in a frontal im­pact is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, the EPPM determines
when to deploy the actuators. The
impact sensors are located within the
front bumper area.

The EPPM monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.

The EPPM contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.

Service Active Hood System

If the EPPM has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve­hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag­nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re­cord the nature of the malfunction. If
the Air Bag Warning Light is illumi­nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.

In the event of an Active Hood deploy­ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac­tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.

Following an Active Hood deploy­ment, the hood position can be tem­porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for­ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.

Temporary Hood Reset Position

The front bumper assembly may af­fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com­ponents should be inspected for dam­age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.

42

NOTE: After any Active Hood de­ployment, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer im­mediately.

CAUTION!

To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down
until it is approximately 5 mm
above the fender. This should se­cure both hood hinge reset mecha­nisms.

WARNING!

• Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood
to enhance pedestrian protection.
If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Modifications to any part of the
Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or
cover.

• It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.

• Do not attempt to modify any
part of your Active Hood system.
The Active Hood may deploy ac­cidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for any hood
service.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Drivers must be aware of pedes­trians. Always be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, and obstructions. You
are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.

ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)

BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where pro­vided with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts.
The feature is active whenever the
ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and
remain on until both front seat belts
are fastened.

(Continued)

43

The BeltAlert® warning sequence be­gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in­termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat­belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu­pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.

The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided). It
is recommended that pets be re­strained in the rear seat in pet har­nesses or pet carriers that are secured
by seat belts, and cargo is properly
stowed.

BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled
by your authorized dealer. LANCIA
does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert®.

NOTE: Although BeltAlert® has
been deactivated, the Seat Belt Re­minder Light will continue to illu­minate while the driver’s or front
passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided with BeltAlert®)
seat belt remains unfastened.

SEAT BELTS AND
PREGNANT WOMEN

We recommend that pregnant women
use the seat belts throughout their
pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe
is the best way to keep the baby safe.

Pregnant women should wear the lap
part of the belt across the thighs and
as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not
come across the abdomen. That way
the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.

SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
— AIR BAGS

This vehicle has Advanced Front Air
Bags for both the driver and front
passenger as a supplement to the seat
belt restraint systems. The driver's
Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel.
The passenger's Advanced Front Air
Bag is mounted in the instrument
panel, above the glove compartment.
The words SRS AIRBAG are em­bossed on the air bag covers.

1 — Driver And
Passenger Ad­vanced Front Air
Bags

2 — Knee Bol­sters (for
versions/markets,
where provided)

44

NOTE: The Driver and Front Pas­senger Advanced Front Air Bags
are certified to regulations for Ad­vanced Air Bags.

The Advanced Front Air Bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on several factors, in­cluding the severity and type of colli­sion.

This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat
belt buckle switch that detects
whether the driver or front passenger
seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation
rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.

This vehicle is equipped with Supple­mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur­tains (SABIC) to protect the driver,
front, and rear passengers sitting next
to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and
their covers are also labeled: SRS
AIRBAG.

This vehicle is equipped with Supple­mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags

(SAB). The Supplemental Seat­Mounted Side Air Bags are marked
with an air bag label sewn into the
outboard side of the front seats.

NOTE:

• Air Bag covers may not be obvi­ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy­ment.

• After any accident, the vehicle
should be taken to an autho­rized dealer immediately.

AIR BAG SYSTEM
COMPONENTS

Your vehicle may be equipped with
the following air bag system compo­nents:

• Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)

• Air Bag Warning Light

• Steering Wheel and Column

• Instrument Panel

• Knee Impact Bolster (for versions/
markets, where provided)

• Driver Advanced Front Air Bag

• Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag

• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)

• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat­able Curtains (SABIC)

• Front and Side Impact Sensors

• Front Seat Belt Pretensioners and
Seat Belt Buckle Switch

ADVANCED FRONT AIR
BAG FEATURES

The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front pas­senger air bags. This system provides
output appropriate to the severity and
type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC), which may receive informa­tion from the front impact sensors.

The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions.
A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.

45

WARNING!

• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag on the instru­ment panel, because any such ob­jects could cause harm if the ve­hicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.

• Do not put anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflat­ing.

• Do not drill, cut or tamper with
the knee bolster in any way.

• Do not mount any accessories to
the knee bolster such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band ra­dios, etc.

Along with seat belts and pretension­ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im­proved protection for the driver and

front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu­pant protection.

Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:

Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.

WARNING!

Infants in rear-facing child re­straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas­senger Advanced Front Air Bag. An
air bag deployment can cause se­vere injury or death to infants in
that position.

You should read the instructions pro­vided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it prop­erly.

All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.

The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as prac­tical to allow the Advanced Front Air
Bags room to inflate.

Do not lean against the door or win­dow. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between you and the door.

If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus­tomer Center.

WARNING!

• Relying on the air bags alone
could lead to more severe injuries
in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Al­ways wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.

(Continued)

46

WARNING! (Continued)

• Being too close to the steering
wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deploy­ment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air Bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, com­fortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or in­strument panel.

• Side air bags also need room to
inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced
protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is
marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front
seats.

When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de­ploys the left air bag only and a right­side impact deploys the right air bag
only.

Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)

SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
and vehicle rollover protection to
front and rear seat outboard occu­pants in addition to that provided by
the body structure. Each air bag fea­tures inflated chambers placed adja­cent to the head of each outboard
occupant that reduce the potential for
side-impact head injuries. The SABIC
deploy downward, covering both win­dows on the impact side.

NOTE:

• Should a vehicle rollover occur,
the pretensioners and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy.

• Air Bag covers may not be obvi­ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag
deployment.

• Being too close to the SAB and
SABIC air bags during deploy­ment could cause you to be se­verely injured or killed.

The system includes side impact sen­sors that are calibrated to deploy the
side air bags during impacts that re­quire air bag occupant protection.

47

WARNING!

• Your vehicle is equipped with left
and right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the
location of the SABIC. The area
where the SABIC is located
should remain free from any ob­structions.

• Do not use accessory seat covers
or place objects between you and
the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.

Knee Impact Bolsters

The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro­tect the knees of the driver and the
front passenger, and position front oc­cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags.

Along with seat belts and pretension­ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im­proved protection for the driver and

front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu­pant protection.

Air Bag Deployment Sensors
And Controls

Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)

The ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.

The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags, and front seat belt pre­tensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of impact.

Advanced Front Air Bags are designed
to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in cer­tain frontal collisions depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of collision. Advanced Front

Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or roll­over collisions.

The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions, includ­ing some that may produce substan­tial vehicle damage — for example,
some pole collisions, truck under­rides, and angle offset collisions. On
the other hand, depending on the type
and location of impact, Advanced
Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial decel­eration.

The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy­ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.

Because air bag sensors measure ve­hicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.

Seat belts are necessary for your pro­tection in all collisions, and also are

48

needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.

The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys­tem whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the OFF position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.

The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to de­ployment.

Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for

approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-check when the ig­nition is first turned on. After the self­check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a mal­function in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light
comes on again after initial startup.

It also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument cluster Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction.

WARNING!

Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.

Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units

The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo­cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de­tects a collision requiring the Ad­vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the

inflator units. A large quantity of non­toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the
collision type and severity. The steer­ing wheel hub trim cover and the up­per right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The
air bags fully inflate in about 50 to 70
milliseconds. This is about half of the
time it takes to blink your eyes. The
air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.

The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con­trol of the vehicle.

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units

The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.

49

The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col­lision.

Based on the severity and type of col­lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig­gered, releasing a quantity of non­toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.
The SAB fully inflate in about 10 mil­liseconds. The side air bag moves at a
very high speed and with such a high
force that it could injure you if you are
not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
air bag inflates. This especially ap­plies to children.

Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units

During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de­ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In

these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.

A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener­ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head­liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop­erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when
it is inflated.

Because air bag sensors estimate de­celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.

NOTE: In a rollover the preten­sioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags may deploy on both sides of
the vehicle.

Front And Side Impact Sensors

In front and side impacts, impact sen­sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.

Enhanced Accident Response
System

In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica­tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En­hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:

• Cut off fuel to the engine.

• Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni­tion is cycled off.

• Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.

• Unlock the doors automatically.

In order to reset the Enhanced Acci­dent Response System functions after

50

an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.

If A Deployment Occurs

The Advanced Front Air Bags are de­signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.

NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.

If you do have a collision which de­ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:

• The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de­ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent

and normally heal quickly. How­ever, if you haven't healed signifi­cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.

• As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla­tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri­tation, rinse the area with cool wa­ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in­volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.

WARNING!

Deployed air bags and seatbelt pre­tensioners can not protect you in
another collision. Have the air
bags, seat belt pretensioners, and
the front seat belt retractor assem­blies replaced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Also, have the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) system serviced as well.

51

Maintaining Your Air Bag System

WARNING!

• Modifications to any part of the
air bag system could cause it to
fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is
not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of
badges or stickers to the steering
wheel hub trim cover or the upper
right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add af­termarket side steps or running
boards.

• It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system your­self. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has
an air bag system.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not attempt to modify any
part of your air bag system. The
air bag may inflate accidentally
or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser­vice. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take
the vehicle to your authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer ap­proved seat accessories may be
used. If it is necessary to modify
the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact your au­thorized dealer.

Enhanced Accident Response
System

In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica­tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En­hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:

• Cut off fuel to the engine.

• Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni­tion key is turned off.

• Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.

• Unlock the doors automatically.

In order to reset the Enhanced Acci­dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.

52

Air Bag Warning Light

You will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-

sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo­nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free. If
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.

• The Air Bag Warning Light does

not come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN posi­tion.

• The Air Bag Warning Light remains

on after the four to eight-second
interval.

• The Air Bag Warning Light comes
on intermittently or remains on
while driving.

NOTE: If the speedometer, ta­chometer, or any engine related
gauges are not working, the Occu­pant Restraint Controller (ORC)
may also be disabled. The air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Promptly check the
fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to
the label located on the inside of
the fuse block cover for the proper
air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.

Event Data Recorder (EDR)

This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur­pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit­ting a road obstacle, data that will

assist in understanding how a vehi­cle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to ve­hicle dynamics and safety systems for
a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this ve­hicle is designed to record such data
as:

• How various systems in your ve­hicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and pas­senger safety belts wer e
buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

53

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under nor­mal driving conditions and no per­sonal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per­sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga­tion.

To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac­cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the spe­cial equipment, can read the informa­tion if they have access to the vehicle
or the EDR.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including ba­bies and children.

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

WARNING!

• “Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward-facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air bag
in front of it!” Refer to visor and
door shut face mounted labels for
information.

• 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.

Infants And Small Children

Safety experts recommend that chil­dren ride rearward-facing in the ve­hicle until they are two years old or
until they reach either the height or
weight limit of their rear facing child
safety seat. Two types of child re­straints can be used rearward-facing:
infant carriers and convertible child
seats.

The infant carrier is only used
rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is
recommended for children from birth
until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier. Convertible
child seats can be used either
rearward-facing or forward-facing in
the vehicle. Convertible child seats of­ten have a higher weight limit in the
rearward-facing direction than infant
carriers do, so they can be used
rearward-facing by children who
have outgrown their infant carrier but
are still less than at least two years
old. Children should remain
rearward-facing until they reach the
highest weight or height allowed by
their convertible child seat. Both
types of child restraints are held in the

vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the
ISOFIX child restraint anchor system.
Refer to “ISOFIX — Child Seat An­chorage System”.

WARNING!

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

Older Children And Child
Restraints

Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing con­vertible child seat can ride forward­facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing
child seats and convertible child seats
used in the forward-facing direction
are for children who are over two
years old or who have outgrown the
rear-facing weight or height limit of
their rear-facing convertible child
seat. Children should remain in a
forward-facing child seat with a har­ness for as long as possible, up to the
highest weight or height allowed by

the child seat. These child seats are
also held in the vehicle by the lap/
shoulder belt or the ISOFIX child re­straint anchorage system. Refer to
“ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System”.

All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt­positioning booster seat until the ve­hicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over
the vehicle's seat cushion while the
child's back is against the seatback,
they should use a belt-positioning
booster seat. The child and belt­positioning booster seat are held in
the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.

Children Too Large For Booster
Seats

Children who are large enough to
wear the shoulder belt comfortably,
and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when
their back is against the seatback,
should use the lap/shoulder belt in a
rear seat.

58

• Make sure that the child is upright
in the seat.

• The lap portion should be low on
the hips and as snug as possible.

• Check belt fit periodically. A child's
squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position.

• If the shoulder belt contacts the
face or neck, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle. If this
doesn't help, move the child to the
center rear seating position and use
both the lap and shoulder belt.
Never allow a child to put the
shoulder belt under an arm or be­hind their back.

WARNING!

• Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child re­straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow
the manufacturer's directions ex­actly when installing an infant or
child restraint.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat.
A rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat may be struck by
a deploying passenger air bag
which may cause severe or fatal
injury to the infant.

Here are some tips on getting the
most out of your child restraint:

• Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certi­fying that it meets all applicable
Safety Standards. LANCIA also
recommends that you make sure
that you can install the child re­straint in the vehicle where you will
use it, before you buy it.

• The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's weight and height.
Check the label on the restraint for
weight and height limits.

• Carefully follow the instructions
that come with the restraint. If you
install the restraint improperly, it
may not work when you need it.

• Passenger seat belts are equipped
with an Automatic Locking Retrac­tor (ALR) designed to keep the lap
portion tight around the child re­straint so that it is not necessary to
use a locking clip. In seating posi­tions that are equipped with an
ALR retractor, it will make a ratch­eting noise after all the webbing is
extracted and allowed to return
back. For additional information,
refer to “Automatic Locking
Mode”.

• In the rear seat, you may have
trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re­straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
buckle end of the belt several times
to shorten it. Insert the latch plate
into the buckle with therelease but­ton facing out.

• If the belt still can't be tightened, or
if pulling and pushing on the re­straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,

59

turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can't make the
child restraint secure, try a differ­ent seating position.

• Buckle the child into the seat ac­cording to the child restraint manu­facturer's directions.

WARNING!

When your child restraint is not in
use, secure it in the vehicle with the
seat belt or remove it from the ve­hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or colli­sion, it could strike the occupants
or seatbacks and cause serious per­sonal injury.

ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System

Each vehicle, except com­mercial cargo vehicles, is
equipped with the child re-

straint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. Two ISOFIX child re­straint anchorage systems are in­stalled on all second-row seats and in

the center position on all third row
fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats
also feature tether strap anchorages,
located in the rear surface of the seat­back. In addition, all third row fold­in-floor seats are equipped with a
child restraint tether anchor at the
center seating position.

NOTE:

• When using the ISOFIX attach­ing system to install a child re­straint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for oc­cupant restraints are stowed and
out of reach of children. It is
recommended that before in­stalling the child restraint,
buckle the seat belt so the seat
belt is tucked behind the child
restraint and out of reach. If the
buckled seat belt interferes with
the child restraint installation,
instead of tucking the seat belt
behind the child restraint, route
the seat belt through the child
restraint belt path and then
buckle it. This should stow the
seat belt out of the reach of an

inquisitive child. Remind all
children in the vehicle that the
seat belts are not toys and
should not be played with, and
never leave your child unat­tended in the vehicle.

• If your child restraint seat is not
ISOFIX-compatible, install the
restraint using the vehicle seat
belts.

Installing the Lower Attachments:

1. The vehicle lower anchorages are

round bars located at the rear of the
seat cushion where it meets the seat­back.

2. Loosen the adjusters on the lower

child restraint attachment straps (ref­erence the child restraint seat instruc­tions) to ease the installation.

NOTE: It is recommended to
loosen the top tether strap and
route it loosely prior to securing
the lower anchors so the top tether
strap is not trapped between the
vehicle seat and child restraint.

60

3. Attach the lower child restraint at­tachment straps to the vehicle’s lower
anchor bars. Ensure that the lower
attachment strap is firmly engaged
and that the hook is secure.

4. Tighten the lower attachment
strap while firmly pushing the child
restraint rearward and downward
into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack
in the lower attachment straps. Refer­ence the child restraint instructions
for information on properly removing
slack.

ISOFIX Anchorages (Second Row

Anchorages Shown)

ISOFIX Anchorages

(Third Row 60/40 Anchorages Shown)

Installing the Top Tether Strap
(with either Lower Anchors or Ve­hicle Seat Belt):

1. Route the top tether strap under
the adjustable head restraint between
the steel posts.

2. Provide enough slack (reference
child restraint instructions) for the
tether strap to reach the tether anchor
located near the bottom of the seat
back.

3. Clip tether hook to tether anchor.
Ensure that the hook is firmly en­gaged and secure.

NOTE: The top tether strap is al­ways to be secured, regardless of if
the child restraint is installed with
the lower anchors or the vehicle
seat belt.

61

WARNING!

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.

NOTE: If your child restraint seat
is not ISOFIX-compatible, install
the restraint using the vehicle seat
belts.

Because the lower anchorages are to
be introduced to passenger carrying
vehicles over a period of years, child
restraint systems having attachments
for those anchorages will continue to
have features for installation in ve­hicles using the lap or lap/shoulder
belt. They will also have tether straps,
and you are urged to take advantage
of all of the available attachments
provided with your child restraint in
any vehicle.

NOTE: When using the ISOFIX
attaching system to install a child
restraint, please ensure that all

seat belts not being used for occu­pant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recom­mended that before installing the
child restraint, buckle the seat belt
so the seat belt is tucked behind
the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt in­terferes with the child restraint in­stallation, instead of tucking the
seat belt behind the child re­straint, route the seat belt through
the child restraint belt path and
then buckle it. This should stow
the seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all chil­dren in the vehicle that the seat
belts are not toys and should not be
played with, and never leave your
child unattended in the vehicle.

Installing The Child Restraint
Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with an Auto­matic Locking Retractor (ALR) to se­cure a Child Restraint System (CRS).
These types of seat belts are designed
to keep the lap portion of the seat belt
tight around the child restraint so that

it is not necessary to use a locking clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise
if you extract the entire belt from the
retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. For addi­tional information on ALR, refer to
“Automatic Locking Mode”. The chart

through the belt path of the child re­straint. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.” Next,
extract all the seat belt webbing out of
the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. As the belt
retracts, you will hear a ratcheting
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking mode.

2. 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.

Installing a Child Restraint with a
Cinching Latch Plate:

1. To install a child restraint with a
cinching latch plate, first, pull enough
of the seat belt webbing from the re­tractor to route it through the belt
path of the child restraint. Slide the
latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.”

2. 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.

• In the rear seat, you may have
trouble tightening the lap/shoulder
belt on the child restraint because
the buckle or latch plate is too close
to the belt path opening on the re­straint. Disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle and twist the short
buckle-end belt several times to
shorten it. Insert the latch plate into
the buckle with the release button
facing out.

• If the belt still can’t be tightened, or
if pulling and pushing on the re­straint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still can’t make the
child restraint secure, try a differ­ent seating position.

To attach a child restraint tether
strap:

• Route the tether strap to provide
the most direct path for the strap
between the anchor and the child
seat, preferably between the head
restraint posts underneath the head
restraint.

Installing The Child Restraint
System

We urge you to carefully follow the
directions of the manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Many,
but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each
side, with each having a hook or con­nector, and a means for adjusting the
tension in the strap. Forward-facing
toddler restraints and some rearward­facing infant restraints will also be
equipped with a tether strap, a hook
and means for adjusting the tension in
the strap. Not all child restraint sys­tems will be installed as described
here. Again, carefully follow the in­stallation instructions that are pro­vided with the child restraint system.

63

In general, you will first loosen the
child seat adjusters on the lower
straps and tether straps so that you
can more easily attach the hook or
connector to the lower anchorages
and tether anchorages. Then tighten
all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.

Not all child restraint systems will be
installed as we have described here.
Again, carefully follow the instruc­tions that come with the child re­straint system.

WARNING!

Improper installation of a child re­straint to the ISOFIX 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.

Transporting Pets

Air Bags deploying in the front seat
could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet could be thrown about and possi­bly injured, or injure a passenger dur­ing panic braking or in a collision.

Pets should be restrained in the rear
seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required
for the engine and drivetrain (trans­mission and axle) in your vehicle.

Drive moderately during the first
500 km. After the initial 100 km,
speeds up to 80 or 90 km/h are desir­able.

While cruising, brief full-throttle ac­celeration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle accel­eration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.

The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with an­ticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades, refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “MaintainingYour Ve­hicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST
NEVER BE USED.

A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand kilome­ters of operation. This should be con­sidered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as an indication of
difficulty.

Additional Requirements
For Diesel Engine

During the first 1500 km avoid heavy
loads, e.g. driving at full throttle. Do
not exceed 2/3 of the maximum per­missible engine speed for each gear.
Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to
brake.

64

SAFETY TIPS

Transporting Passengers

NEVER TRANSPORT PASSEN­GERS IN THE CARGO AREA.

WARNING!

• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or
death.

• 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.

• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of 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.

(Continued)

Exhaust Gas

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor­less. Breathing it can make you un­conscious and can eventually poi­son you. To avoid breathing (CO),
follow these safety tips:

• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.

• If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate open, make
sure that all windows are closed
and the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO
NOT use the recirculation mode.

• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.

The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex­haust system.

Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when ex­haust fumes can be detected inside the
vehicle, or when the underside or rear
of the vehicle is damaged, have a com­petent mechanic inspect the complete
exhaust system and adjacent body ar­eas for broken, damaged, deteriorated,
or mispositioned parts. Open seams or
loose connections could permit ex­haust fumes to seep into the passenger
compartment. In addition, inspect the
exhaust system each time the vehicle is
raised for lubrication or oil change.
Replace as required.

Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle

Seat Belts

Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re­placed immediately. Do not disas­semble or modify the system.

65

Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard­ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.

Air Bag Warning Light

The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb

check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho­rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho­rized dealer.

Defroster

Check operation by selecting the de­frost mode and place the blower con­trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.

Floor Mat Safety Information

Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se­cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve­hicle in other ways.

WARNING!

Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.

• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.

• Never place or install floor mats
or other floor coverings in the ve­hicle that cannot be properly se­cured to prevent them from mov­ing and interfering with the
pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Never put floor mats or other
floor coverings on top of already
installed floor mats. Additional
floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the ped­als.

• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly re­install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.

• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver foot­well while the vehicle is moving.
Objects can become trapped un­der the brake pedal and accelera­tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.

• If required, mounting posts must
be properly installed, if not
equipped from the factory.

Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the ve­hicle.

66

Periodic Safety Checks You
Should Make Outside The
Vehicle

Tires

Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. In­spect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges. Check the wheel nuts for
tightness. Check the tires (including
spare) for proper cold inflation pres­sure.

Lights

Have someone observe the operation
of brake lights and exterior lights
while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator
lights on the instrument panel.

Door Latches

Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.

Fluid Leaks

Check area under vehicle after over­night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso­line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid (2500/3500), or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the
cause should be located and corrected
immediately.

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system uses two radar-based sensors,
located inside the rear bumper fascia,
to detect highway licensable vehicles
(automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the ve­hicle.

and enters stand-by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.

The BSM detection zone covers ap­proximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle or 3.35 m. The zone starts
at the outside rear view mirror and
extends approximately 6 m to the rear
of the vehicle. The BSM system moni­tors the detection zones on both sides
of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 10 km/h or
higher and will alert the driver of ve­hicles in these areas.

NOTE:

• The BSM system does NOT alert
the driver about rapidly ap­proaching vehicles that are out­side the detection zones.

equipment) extends beyond the
side of your vehicle, this may re­sult in the BSM warning light
remaining illuminated the en­tire time the vehicle is in a for­ward gear.

The area on the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located must remain
free of snow, ice, and dirt/road con­tamination so that the BSM system
can function properly. Do not block
the area of the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).

Rear Detection Zones

When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illu­minate in both outside rear view mir­rors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM sys­tem sensors operate when the vehicle

Sensor Locations

The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects in the detection zones by illu­minating the BSM warning light lo­cated in the outside mirrors in addi­tion to sounding an audible (chime)
alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” for
further information.

BSM Warning Light

The BSM system monitors the detec­tion zone from three different entry
points (side, rear, front) while driving
to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM
system will issue an alert during these
types of zone entries.

Entering From The Side

Side Monitoring

Entering From The Rear

Vehicles that come up from behind
your vehicle on either side and enter
the rear detection zone with a relative
speed of less than 48 km/h.

Rear Monitoring

Overtaking Traffic

If you pass another vehicle slowly
with a relative speed of less than
16 km/h and the vehicle remains in
the blind spot for approximately 1.5
seconds, the warning light will be il­luminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater
than 16 km/h, the warning light will
not illuminate.

Overtaking/Approaching

Vehicles that move into your adjacent
lanes from either side of the vehicle.

Overtaking/Passing

81

The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli­age, berms, etc. However, occasion­ally the system may alert on such ob­jects. This is normal operation and
your vehicle does not require service.

Stationary Objects

The BSM system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the oppo­site direction of the vehicle in adjacent
lanes.

Opposing Traffic

WARNING!

The Blind Spot Monitoring system
is only an aid to help detect objects
in the blind spot zones. The BSM
system is not designed to detect pe­destrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check
your vehicle's mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Fail­ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.

REAR CROSS PATH (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the driver when back­ing out of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be
blocked. Proceed slowly and cau­tiously out of the parking space until
the rear end of the vehicle is exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver.

RCP Detection Zones

RCP monitors the rear detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle, for
objects that are moving toward the
side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 1 km/h to
3 km/h, to objects moving a maxi­mum of approximately 16 km/h, such
as in parking lot situations.

NOTE: In a parking lot situation,
oncoming vehicles can be ob­scured by vehicles parked on ei­ther side. If the sensors are
blocked by other structures or ve­hicles, the system will not be able
to alert the driver.

When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms,
including reducing the radio volume.

82

WARNING!

RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It
is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle
in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up,
even when using RCP. Always
check carefully behind your ve­hicle, look behind you, and be sure
to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up. Fail­ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.

MODES OF OPERATION

Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
"Electronic Vehicle Information Cen­ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Fea­tures)” in “Understanding Your In­strument Panel” for further informa­tion.

Blind Spot Alert

When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a

visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob­ject. However, when the system is op­erating in RCP, the system will re­spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres­ent. Whenever an audible alert is re­quested, the radio is muted.

Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime

When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap­propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted.

NOTE:

• Whenever an audible alert is re­quested by the BSM system, the
radio is also muted.

• If the hazard flashers are on, the
system will request the appro­priate visual alert only.

When the system is in RCP, the system
shall respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object
is present. Whenever an audible alert
is requested, the radio is also muted.
Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the
chime.

Blind Spot Alert Off

When the BSM system is turned off
there will be no visual or audible
alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.

NOTE: The BSM system will
store the current operating mode
when the vehicle is shut off. Each
time the vehicle is started the pre­viously stored mode will be re­called and used.

Astronomy Zone — System Tempo­rarily Unavailable

When the vehicle enters this zone the
blind spot system will become tempo­rarily unavailable and the EVIC will

83

display the message “ Blind spot sys­tem unavailable-Astronomy zone”.
The side mirrors LED’s will be lit up
and stay lit until the vehicle exits the
zone.

follows the “Ready” prompt or an­other prompt.

• For certain operations, compound
commands can be used. For ex­ample, instead of saying “Setup”
and then “Phone Pairing”, the fol­lowing compound command can be
said: “Setup Phone Pairing”.

• For each feature explanation in this
section, only the compound form of
the voice command is given. You

can also break the commands into
parts and say each part of the com­mand when you are asked for it.
For example, you can use the com­pound form voice command
“Phonebook New Entry”, or you
can break the compound form
command into two voice com­mands: “Phonebook” and “New
Entry”. Please remember, the
Uconnect™ Phone works best
when you talk in a normal conver­sational tone, as if speaking to
someone sitting a few meters away
from you.

Dialing Using The Mobile Phone
Keypad

You can dial a phone number with
your mobile phone keypad and still
use the Uconnect™ Phone (while di­aling via the mobile phone keypad,
the user must exercise caution and
take precautionary safety measures).
By dialing a number with your paired
Bluetooth® mobile phone, the audio
will be played through your vehicle's
audio system. The Uconnect™ Phone
will work the same as if you dial the
number using Voice Command.

NOTE: Certain brands of mobile
phones do not send the dial ring to
the Uconnect™ Phone to play it on
the vehicle audio system, so you
will not hear it. Under this situa­tion, after successfully dialing a
number the user may feel that the
call did not go through even
though the call is in progress. Once
your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.

Mute/Un-Mute (Mute Off)
