INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your
new LANCIA vehicle. Be assured that
it represents precision workmanship,
distinctive styling, and high quality ­all essentials that are traditional to
our vehicles.

Before you start to drive this vehicle,
read this Owner's Manual and all the
supplements. Be sure you are familiar
with all vehicle controls, particularly
those used for braking, steering, and

with experience, but as in driving any
vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Al­ways observe local laws wherever you
drive.

NOTE: After reviewing the owner
information, it should be stored in
the vehicle for convenient refer­encing and remain with the vehicle
when sold.

Failure to operate this vehicle cor­rectly may result in loss of control or a
collision.

Operating this vehicle at excessive
speeds or while intoxicated may result
in loss of control, collision with other
vehicles or objects, going off the road,
or overturning; any of which may lead
to serious injury or death. Also, failure
to use seat belts subjects the driver
and passengers to a greater risk of
injury or death.

To keep your vehicle running at its
best, have your vehicle serviced at
recommended intervals by an autho­rized dealer who has the qualified per­sonnel, special tools, and equipment
to perform all service.

The manufacturer and its distributors
are vitally interested in your complete
satisfaction with this vehicle. If you
encounter a service or warranty prob­lem, which is not resolved to your
satisfaction, discuss the matter with
your dealer's management.

Your authorized dealer will be happy
to assist you with any questions about
your vehicle.

are available at your authorized dealer.

When it comes to service, remember
that your authorized dealer knows
your vehicle best, has the factory­trained technicians and genuine
parts, and is interested in your satis­faction.

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 for
(versions/markets where provided)

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

IGNITION NODE MODULE
(IGNM) — (for versions/
markets where provided)

The Ignition Node Module (IGNM)
operates similar 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.

NOTE: If your vehicle is
equipped with Keyless Enter-N­Go™, 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.

Ignition Node Module (IGNM)

1 — OFF
2 — ACC (ACCESSORY)
3 — ON/RUN
4—START

KEY FOB

The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.

The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead.
You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.

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

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

12

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!

• Before exiting a vehicle, always
apply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, and
push ignition button to place ig­nition in OFF mode. When leav­ing the vehicle, always lock your
vehicle.

• Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un­locked vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Allowing children to be in a ve­hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa­tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the trans­mission gear selector.

• Do not leave the Key Fob in or
near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle
equipped with Keyless Enter-N­Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. 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.

13

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. If the steer­ing wheel is moved to one of the lock
positions with the key in the off posi­tions, the steering wheel will lock.

TO MANUALLY LOCK THE
STEERING WHEEL

With the engine running, rotate the
steering wheel one-quarter revolution
in either direction, 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®

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 the factory-mated
Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and Wireless Igni­tion Node (WIN) to prevent unau­thorized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only Key Fobs that are programmed
to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. The system will
shut the engine off in two seconds if
an invalid Key Fob is used to start the
engine.

After placing 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 sys­tem. 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 system. Should this occur, have
the vehicle serviced as soon as pos­sible by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

• Do not make modifications or al­terations to the immobilizer sys­tem. Modifications or alterations
to the immobilization system may
result in a loss of security protec­tion.

• The Sentry Key® Immobilizer
system is not compatible with
some aftermarket remote starting
systems. Use of these systems
may result in vehicle starting
problems and loss of security pro­tection.

14

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.

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.

CAUTION!

Do not make modifications or al­terations to the Vehicle Security
Alarm. Modifications or alterations
to the Vehicle Security Alarm may
result in a loss of security protec­tion.

15

REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

The transmitter and receivers operate
on a carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz
as required by EEC regulations.
These devices must be certified to
conform to specific regulations in
each individual country. Two sets of
regulations are involved: ETS (Euro­pean Telecommunication Standard)
300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation
225Z125, which is based on ETC
300–220 but has additional unique
requirements. Other defined require­ments are noted in ANNEX VI of
COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/56/
EC. Operation is subject to the follow­ing two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful
interference.

• This device must accept any inter­ference received, including interfer­ence that may cause undesired
operation.

If your RKE transmitter fails to oper­ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions:

1. Weak battery in the transmitter.
The expected life of the battery is a
minimum of three years.

2. Closeness to a radio transmitter
such as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS

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

• Seat Belt Systems

• Supplemental Restraint Systems
(SRS) Air Bags

• Supplemental Active Head
Restraints

• Active Hood System

• Child Restraints

IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS:

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.

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

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

Warning Label On Front Passenger

Sun Visor

34

(Continued)

2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old
(not in a rear-facing child restraint)
must ride in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible
and use the proper child restraint.
(Refer to “Child Restraints”)

3. Children that are not big enough
to wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(Refer to "Child Restraints") should
be secured in a vehicle with a rear seat
in child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt­positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in a vehicle with
a rear seat.

4. Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.

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

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

7. The driver and front passenger

seats should be moved back as far as
practical to allow the Advanced Front
Air Bags room to inflate.

8. 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 and
you could be injured.

9. If the air bag system in this vehicle

needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus­tomer Center. Phone numbers are
provided under "If You Need Assis­tance."

WARNING!

• Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in front of an air bag. A
deploying Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.

Only use rear-facing child re-

•
straint in a vehicle with a rear seat.

SEAT BELT SYSTEMS

Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and could 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.

ENHANCED SEAT BELT USE
REMINDER SYSTEM (BeltAlert)

BeltAlert is a feature intended to
remind the driver and outboard front
passenger (if equipped with outboard
front passenger BeltAlert) to buckle
their seat belts. The feature is active
whenever the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position. If the

35

driver or outboard front seat passen­ger is unbelted, the Seat Belt Re­minder Light will turn on and remain
on until both outboard front seat belts
are buckled.

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 seat
belts are buckled. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are buckled. The
driver should instruct all other occu­pants to buckle their seat belts. If an
outboard front seat belt is unbuckled
while traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert will provide both
audio and visual notification.

The outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert is not active when the out­board front passenger seat is unoccu­pied. BeltAlert may be triggered when
an animal or heavy object is on the
outboard front passenger seat or when

the seat is folded flat (if equipped). It
is recommended that pets be re­strained in the rear seat (if equipped)
in pet harnesses or pet carriers that
are secured by seat belts, and cargo is
properly stowed.

NOTE: If BeltAlert has been de­activated, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light will continue to illuminate
while the driver’s or outboard
front passenger’s (if equipped with
BeltAlert) seat belt remains un­buckled.

LAP/SHOULDER BELTS

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

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

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 belt even
though you have air bags.

• 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.

• 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.

WARNING! (Continued)

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

• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly
could make your injuries in a col­lision much worse. You might suf­fer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat 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 a lap
belt for more than one person, no
matter what their size.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

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

• A twisted seat belt may not pro­tect you properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the seat belt is flat against your
body, without twists. If you can’t
straighten a seat belt in your ve­hicle, take it to your authorized
dealer immediately and have it
fixed.

• A seat 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 seat belt into
the buckle nearest you.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• A seat 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.

• A seat 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 seat
belt worn under the arm can
cause internal injuries. Ribs
aren’t as strong as shoulder
bones. Wear the seat belt over
your shoulder so that your stron­gest bones will take the force in a
collision.

• 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.

(Continued)

37

WARNING! (Continued)

• A frayed or torn seat belt could
rip apart in a collision and leave
you with no protection. Inspect
the seat belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re­placed immediately. Do not disas­semble or modify the seat belt
system. Seat belt assemblies must
be replaced after a collision.

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 above
the back of the front seat, and next to
your arm in the rear seat (for vehicles
equipped with a rear seat). Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the seat belt.
Slide the latch plate up the webbing as
far as necessary to allow the seat belt
to go around your lap.

Pulling Out Belt And Latch Plate

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

Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle

4. Position the lap belt so that it is
snug and lies low across your hips,
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 seat
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the seat belt in a collision.

Removing Slack From Belt

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

38

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

THIRD ROW CENTER BELT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The third row center seat belt features
a seat belt with a mini-latch and
buckle, which allows the seat belt to
detach from the lower anchor when
the seat is folded. The mini-buckle
and seat belt can then be stored out of
the way in the headliner for added
convenience.

1. Remove the mini-latch and regu­lar latch from its stowed position in
the headliner slightly behind the third
row seat.

Mini-Latch And Regular Latch From

Its Stowed Position

2. Grasp the mini-latch plate and
pull the seat belt over the seat.

3. Route the shoulder belt to the in­side of the left head restraint.

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

39

7. Position the lap belt so that it is
snug and lies low across your hips,
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, pull on the lap
belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk
of sliding under the seat belt in a
collision.

8. 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 seat
belt.

9. To release the seat belt, push the
red button on the buckle.

10. To disengage the mini-latch from
the mini-buckle for storage, insert the
regular latch plate into the center red
slot on the mini-buckle. The seat belt
will automatically retract to its
stowed position. If necessary, slide the
latch plate down the webbing to allow
the seat belt to retract fully. Insert the
mini-latch plate and regular latch
plate into its stowed position.

WARNING!

• If the mini-latch and mini-buckle
are not properly connected when
the seat belt is used by an occu­pant, the seat belt will not be able
to provide proper restraint and
will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.

When reattaching the mini-latch

•
and mini-buckle, ensure the seat
belt webbing is not twisted. If the
webbing is twisted, follow the pre­ceding procedure to detach the
mini-latch and mini-buckle, un­twist the webbing, and reattach the
mini-latch and mini-buckle.

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.

At about 15 to 30 cm above the

2.
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180° 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.

ADJUSTABLE UPPER
SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE

In the front and second row outboard
seats the shoulder belt can be adjusted
upward or downward to position the
seat belt away from your neck. Push
or squeeze the anchorage button to
release the anchorage, and move it up
or down to the position that serves you
best.

Adjustable Anchorage

As a guide, if you are shorter than
average, you will prefer the shoulder
belt anchorage in a lower position,

40

and if you are taller than average, you
will prefer the shoulder belt anchor­age in a higher position. After you
release the anchorage button, try to
move it up or down to make sure that
it is locked in position.

NOTE: The adjustable upper
shoulder belt anchorage is
equipped with an Easy Up feature.
This feature allows the shoulder
belt anchorage to be adjusted in
the upward position without push­ing or squeezing the release but­ton. To verify the shoulder belt an­chorage is latched, pull downward
on the shoulder belt anchorage
until it is locked into position.

SEAT BELTS AND PREGNANT
WOMEN

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

Pregnant women should wear the lap
part of the seat belt across the thighs
and as snug across the hips as pos­sible. Keep the seat 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.

SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER

The front seat belt system is 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 belt by removing
slack from the seat belt 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.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT
FEATURE

This vehicle has a seat belt system
with an Energy Management feature
in the front seating positions that may
help further reduce the risk of injury
in the event of a collision. This seat
belt system has a retractor assembly
that is designed to release webbing in
a controlled manner.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR (ALR) — (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions may be equipped with a
Switchable Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) which is 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 of this manual. The
table below defines the type of feature
for each seating position.

41

Second Row Captains Chair

Second Row Bench

• ALR= Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor

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

Only pull the seat 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 clicking
sound as the seat 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."

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

WARNING!

• Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in front of an air bag. A
deploying passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.

• Only use a rear-facing child re­straint in a vehicle with a 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 seat
belt is extracted.

3. Allow the seat belt to retract. As
the seat belt retracts, you will hear a
clicking sound. This indicates the seat
belt is now in the Automatic Locking
Mode.

42

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 seat belt assembly must be
replaced if the switchable 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 seat belt
assembly could increase the risk
of injury in collisions.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not use the Automatic Lock­ing Mode to restrain occupants
who are wearing the seat belt or
children who are using booster
seats. The locked mode is only
used to install rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraints
that have a harness for restrain­ing the child.

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:
straints (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
the severity and type of the impact.

NOTE: For more information on
properly adjusting and positioning
the head restraint, refer to “Ad­justing Active Head Restraints” in
“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’s seat before driving.
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).

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.

WARNING!

All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in
a vehicle’s seat until the head re­straints are placed in their proper
positions in order to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a
collision.

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.
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 system 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), if
equipped. 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, if
equipped, see your authorized dealer.

45

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. 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.

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

Service Active Hood

CAUTION!

To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down
until an audible and tactile detent is
detected (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.

• 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.

46

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• 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.

• 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.

Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.

Only use a rear-facing child re-

•
straint in a vehicle with a rear seat.

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 or
other system components.

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

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 buckled. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation
rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.

WARNING!

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

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• 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, air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belts even though
you have air bags.

ADVANCED FRONT AIR BAG
OPERATION

Advanced Front Air Bags are designed
to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts. 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

48

crashes with little vehicle front-end
damage but that produce a severe ini­tial deceleration.

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

When the ORC detects a collision re­quiring the Advanced Front Air Bags, it
signals the inflator units. A large quan­tity of non-toxic gas is generated to in­flate the Advanced Front Air Bags.

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 Advanced Front Air
Bags fully inflate in less time than it
takes to blink your eyes. The air bags
then quickly deflate while helping to
restrain the driver and front passen­ger.

KNEE IMPACT BOLSTERS

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

WARNING!

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

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

SUPPLEMENTAL SIDE AIR
BAGS

Your vehicle is equipped with two
types of side air bags:

1. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SABs): Located in the out­board side of the front seats. The
SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG
or AIRBAG label sewn into the out­board side of the seats.

Front Supplemental Seat-Mounted

Side Air Bag Label

The SABs may help to reduce the risk
of occupant injury during certain side
impact and certain rollover events, in
addition to the injury reduction po­tential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.

When the SAB deploys, it opens the
seam on the outboard side of the seat­back’s trim cover. The inflating SAB
deploys through the seat seam into the
space between the occupant and the
door. The SAB 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 SAB in­flates. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying air
bag.

49

WARNING!

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.

2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat­able Curtains (SABICs): Located
above the side windows. The trim
covering the SABICs is labeled SRS
AIRBAG or AIRBAG.

Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable

Curtain (SABIC) Label Location

SABICs may help reduce the risk of
head injury to front and rear seat out­board occupants. SABICs may reduce
the risk of injuries in certain side im­pact and vehicle rollover events, in
addition to the injury reduction po­tential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.

The SABICs deploy downward, cover­ing the side windows. An inflating
SABIC pushes the outside edge of the
trim out of the way and covers the
window. The SABICs inflate with
enough force to injure you if you are
not belted and seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where
the SABICs inflate. Children are at an
even greater risk of injury from a de­ploying air bag.

The SABICs may help reduce the risk
of partial or complete ejection of ve­hicle occupants through side windows
in certain rollover or side impact
events.

WARNING!

• Your vehicle is equipped with left
and right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs). Do not stack luggage
or other cargo up high enough to
block the deployment of the
SABICs. The trim covering above
the side windows where the
SABIC and its deployment path
are located should remain free
from any obstructions.

• Your vehicle is equipped with
SABICs. In order for the SABICs
to work as intended, do not install
any accessory items in your ve­hicle which could alter the roof.
Do not add an aftermarket sun­roof to your vehicle. Do not add
roof racks that require permanent
attachments (bolts or screws) for
installation on the vehicle roof.
Do not drill into the roof of the
vehicle for any reason.

50

The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air
Bags”) are designed to activate in cer­tain side impacts and certain rollover
events. The Occupant Restraint Con­troller (“ORC”) determines whether
the deployment of the Side Air Bags in
a particular side impact or rollover
event is appropriate, based on the se­verity and type of collision. Vehicle
damage by itself is not a good indica­tor of whether or not Side Air Bags
should have deployed.

Side Air Bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Side Air
Bags deploy in less time than it takes
to blink your eyes. Occupants, includ­ing children, who are up against or
very close to Side Air Bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
including children, should never lean
on or sleep against the door, side win­dows, or area where the Side Air Bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint.

Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also
help keep you in position, away from

inflating Side Air Bags. To get the best
protection from the Side Air Bags,
occupants must wear their seat belts
properly and sit upright with their
backs against the seats. Children
must be properly restrained in a child
restraint or booster seat that is appro­priate for the size of the child.

WARNING!

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

• Being too close to the Side Air
Bags during deployment could
cause you to be severely injured
or killed.

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

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

Side Impacts

In side impacts, the side impact sen­sors aid the ORC in determining the
appropriate response to impact
events. The system is calibrated to
deploy the Side Air Bags on the im­pact side of the vehicle during impacts
that require Side Air Bag occupant
protection. In side impacts, the Side
Air Bags deploy independently; a left
side impact deploys the left Side Air
Bags only and a right side impact
deploys the right Side Air Bags only.

The Side Air Bags will not deploy in
all side collisions, including some col­lisions at certain angles, or some side
collisions that do not impact the area
of the passenger compartment. The
Side Air Bags may deploy during
angled or offset frontal collisions
where the Advanced Front Air Bags
deploy.

51

Rollover Events

Side Air Bags are designed to activate
in certain rollover events. The ORC
determines whether the deployment
of the Side Air Bags in a particular
rollover event is appropriate, based on
the severity and type of collision. Ve­hicle damage by itself is not a good
indicator of whether or not Side Air
Bags should have deployed.

The Side Air Bags will not deploy in
all rollover events. The rollover
sensing-system determines if a roll­over event may be in progress and
whether deployment is appropriate. A
slower-developing event may deploy
the seat belt pretensioners on both
sides of the vehicle. A faster­developing event may deploy the seat
belt pretensioners as well as the SABs
and SABICs on both sides of the ve­hicle. The rollover sensing-system
may also deploy the seat belt preten­sioners, with or without the SABs and
SABICs, on both sides of the vehicle if
the vehicle experiences a near rollover
event.

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 air bag material may some­times cause abrasions and/or skin
reddening to the occupants 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 seat belt pre­tensioners cannot protect you in an­other collision. Have the air bags,
seat belt pretensioners, and the seat
belt retractor assemblies replaced by
an authorized dealer immediately.
Also, have the Occupant Restraint
Controller System serviced as well.

52

NOTE:

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

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

ENHANCED ACCIDENT
RESPONSE SYSTEM

In the event of an impact, 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 switch is turned to the “OFF”
position.

• Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition switch is
turned to the “OFF” position.

• Unlock the doors automatically.

SYSTEM RESET PROCEDURE

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

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT

The air bags must be ready
to inflate for your protec­tion in a collision. The Oc-

cupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo­nents.

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 ignition switch is in the OFF posi­tion or in the ACC position, 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.

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 switch is first turned to the ON/
RUN position. After the self-check,
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 to alert you if the
light comes on again after initial
startup.

53

The ORC also includes diagnostics
that will illuminate the instrument
panel Air Bag Warning Light if a mal­function is detected that could affect
the air bag system. The diagnostics
also record the nature of the malfunc­tion. 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. In this con­dition the air bags may not be
ready to inflate for your protec­tion. Have an authorized dealer
service the air bag system immedi­ately.

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.

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.

54

(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.

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 were
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.

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.

55

CHILD RESTRAINTS ­CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY

Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including ba­bies and children. EC directive 2003/
20/EC requires proper use of re­straints in all EC countries.

Children less than 1.5 meters tall and
12 years or younger 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.

WARNING!

In a collision, an unrestrained child
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.

There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn
size to the child almost large enough
for an adult safety belt. Children
should ride rearward facing as long as
possible; this is the most protected
position for a child in the event of a
crash. Always check the child seat
Owner’s Manual to make sure you
have the correct seat for your child.
Carefully read and follow all the in­structions and warnings in the child
restraint Owner’s Manual and on all
the labels attached to the child re­straint.

In Europe, children restraint systems
are defined by regulation ECE-R44,
which divides them into five weight
groups:

Restraint

Group

Group0 upto10kg

Group 0+ up to 13 kg

Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg

Check the label of your child re­straint. All approved child restraints
must include type-approval data and
the control mark on its label. The
label must be permanently secured to
the child restraint system. You should
not remove this label from the child
restraint.

Weight Group

56

WARNING!

Extreme Hazard! Do not place
rearward facing infant seat in front
of an active air bag. Refer to visor
and door shut face mounted labels
for information. Deployment of the
air bag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the baby regardless
of the severity of the collision. It is
advisable to always carry children
in a child restraint system on the
rear seat, which is the most pro­tected position in the event of a
collision.

“UNIVERSAL” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

The figures in the following sections
are examples of each type of universal
child restraint system. Typical instal­lations are shown. Always install your
child restraint system according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s in­structions, which must be included
with this type of restraint system.

GROUP 0 AND 0+

fig. A

Safety experts recommend that chil­dren ride rearward facing in the ve­hicle as long as possible . Infants up to
13 kg must be restrained in a rear­facing seat like the child seat shown in
fig. A. This type of child restraint
supports the child’s head and does not
induce stress on the neck in the event
of sudden decelerations or a crash.

The rear-facing child restraint is re­strained by the vehicle’s seat belts, as
shown in fig. A. The child seat re­strains the child with its own harness.

WARNING!

• Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in front of an air bag. A
deploying passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.

Only use a rear-facing child re-

•
straint in a vehicle with a rear seat.

GROUP 1

fig. B

Children who weigh between 9 kg and
18 kg may be carried in a Group 1,
forward facing seat like the one in fig.
B. This type of child restraint is for
older children who are too big for a
Group 0 or 0+ child restraint.

57

GROUP 2

fig. C

Children who weigh between 15 kg
and 25 kg and who are too big for the
Group 1 child restraint may use a
Group 2 child restraint system.

As shown in fig. C, the Group 2 child
restraint system positions the child
correctly with respect to the seat belt
so that the shoulder belt crosses the
child’s chest and not the neck, and the
lap belt is snug on the pelvis and not
the abdomen.

GROUP 3

fig. D

Children who weigh between 22 kg
and 36 kg and who are tall enough to
use the adult shoulder belt may use a
Group 3 child restraint. Group 3 child
restraints position the lap belt on the
child’s pelvis. The child must be tall
enough that the shoulder belt crosses
the child’s chest and not their neck.

fig. D shows an example of a Group 3
child restraint system correctly posi­tioning the child on the rear seat.

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 child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing
an infant or child restraint.

• After a child restraint is installed
in the vehicle, do not move the
vehicle seat forward or rearward
because it can loosen the child
restraint attachments. Remove
the child restraint before adjust­ing the vehicle seat position.
When the vehicle seat has been
adjusted, reinstall the child re­straint.

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

SEAT BELTS FOR OLDER
CHILDREN

Children over 1.50 m in height can
wear seat belts instead of using child
restraints.

Use this simple 5-step test to decide
whether the seat belt properly fits the
child or if they should still use a Group
2 or Group 3 child restraint to im­prove the fit of the seat belt:

1. Can the child sit all the way back
against the back of the vehicle seat?

2. Do the child’s knees bend comfort­ably over the front of the vehicle seat –
while they are still sitting all the way
back?

3. Does the shoulder belt cross the
child’s shoulder between their neck
and arm?

4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s thighs
and not their stomach?

5. Can the child stay seated like this
for the whole trip?

If the answer to any of these questions
was “no,” then the child still needs to
use a Group 2 or 3 child restraint in
this vehicle. If the child is using the
lap/shoulder belt, check belt fit peri­odically and make sure the seat belt
buckle is latched. 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, or use a
booster seat to position the seat belt
on the child correctly.

WARNING!

Never allow a child to put the
shoulder belt under an arm or be­hind their back. In a crash, the
shoulder belt will not protect a
child properly, which may result in
serious injury or death. A child
must always wear both the lap and
shoulder portions of the seat belt
correctly.

ISOFIX RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with the
child restraint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. This system allows
ISOFIX - equipped child seats to be
installed without using the vehicle’s
seat belts. The ISOFIX system has two
lower anchorages located at the back
of the seat cushion where it meets the
seatback and a top tether anchorage
located behind the seating position.

An example of a Universal ISOFIX
child restraint system for weight
group 1 is shown in fig. B. ISOFIX
child restraints are also available in
the other weight groups.

60

LOCATING THE LOWER ISOFIX
ANCHORAGES

The lower anchorages are round bars
that are found 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 gap
between the seatback and seat cush­ion.

ISOFIX Anchorages (Second Row

Anchorages Shown)

ISOFIX Anchorages (Third Row

60/40 Anchorages Shown)

LOCATING THE UPPER TETHER
ANCHORAGES

There are tether strap an­chorages behind each rear
seating position, located
near the floor.

Tether Strap Anchorage (Third Row

60/40 Anchorage Shown)

ISOFIX child restraint systems will be
equipped with a rigid bar on each side.
Each will have a connector to attach to
the lower anchorage and a way to
tighten the connection to the anchorage.
Forward-facing child restraints and
some rear-facing child restraints may
also be equipped with a tether strap.
The tether strap will have a hook at the
end to attach to the top tether anchor­age and a way to tighten the strap after
it is attached to the anchorage.

CENTER SEAT ISOFIX:

If a child restraint installed in the
center position blocks the seat belt
webbing or buckle for the outboard
position, do not use that outboard po­sition. If a child seat in the center
position blocks the outboard ISOFIX
anchors or seat belt, do not install a
child seat in that outboard position.

WARNING!

Never use the same lower anchorage
to attach more than one child re­straint. Please refer to “Installing The
ISOFIX Child Restraint System” for
typical installation instructions.

Always follow the directions of the
child restraint manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Not
all child restraint systems will be
installed as described here. When
using a Universal ISOFIX child re­straint system, you can only use
approved child restraint systems
with the marking ECE R44 (release
R44/03 or superior) “Universal
ISOFIX”.

TO INSTALL AN ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT:

1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
connectors and on the tether strap of
the child seat so that you can more
easily attach the connectors to the ve­hicle anchorages.

2. Place the child seat between the
lower anchorages for that seating po­sition. For some second row seats, you
may need to recline the seat and / or
raise the head restraint to get a better
fit. If the rear seat can be moved for­ward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most
position to make room for the child

seat. You may also move the front seat
forward to allow more room for the
child seat.

3. Attach the connectors of the child
restraint to the lower anchorages in
the selected seating position.

4. If the child restraint has a tether
strap, connect it to the top tether an­chorage. See the section “Installing
Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage” for directions to attach a
tether anchor.

5. Tighten all of the straps as you
push the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat. Remove
slack in the straps according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s in­structions.

6. Test that the child restraint is in­stalled tightly by pulling back and
forth on the child seat at the belt path.
It should not move more than 25 mm
in any direction.

WARNING!

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

• Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly-fitted
child restraints. Under no cir­cumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses, or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.

• Install the child restraint system
when the vehicle is stationary.
The ISOFIX child restraint sys­tem is correctly fixed to the
brackets when you hear the click.

64

INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS USING THE TOP
TETHER ANCHORAGE:

1. Look behind the seating position
where you plan to install the child
restraint to find the tether anchorage.
You may need to move the seat for­ward to provide better access to the
tether anchorage. If there is no top
tether anchorage for that seating po­sition, move the child restraint to an­other position in the vehicle if one is
available.

2. Route the tether strap to provide
the most direct path for the strap be­tween the anchor and the child seat. If
your vehicle is equipped with adjust­able rear head restraints, raise the
head restraint, and where possible,
route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the two posts. If
not possible, lower the head restraint
and pass the tether strap around the
outboard side of the head restraint.

3. Attach the tether strap hook of the
child restraint to the top tether an­chorage as shown in the diagram.

Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting

(Second Row Anchorage Shown)

ISOFIX Anchorages (Third Row

60/40 Anchorage Shown)

4. Remove slack in the tether strap
according to the child restraint manu­facturer’s instructions.

WARNING!

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

• If your vehicle is equipped with a
split rear seat, make sure the
tether strap does not slip into the
opening between the seatbacks as
you remove slack in the strap.

INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS USING THE
VEHICLE SEAT BELT

Except for the center position in the
third row, all of the seat belts in the
rear passenger seating positions are
equipped with a Switchable Auto­matic Locking Retractor (ALR) that
is designed to keep the lap portion of
the seat belt tight around the child
restraint. The ALR retractor can be
“switched” into a locked mode by
pulling all of the webbing out of the
retractor and then letting the webbing

65

retract back into the retractor. If it is
locked, the ALR will make a clicking
noise while the webbing is pulled back
into the retractor. For additional in­formation on ALR, refer to the “Au­tomatic Locking Mode” description
under “Occupant Restraints.”

The third row center position is
equipped with a cinching latch plate.
The cinching latch plate is designed to
hold the lap portion of the seat belt
tight when webbing is pulled tight
and straight through a child re­straint’s belt path. Both 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.

BELT:

When using the ISOFIX attaching
system to install a child restraint, stow
all ALR seat belts that are not being
used by other occupants or being used
to secure child restraints. An unused
belt could injure a child if they play
with it and accidentally lock the seat

belt retractor. Before installing a child
restraint using the ISOFIX system,
buckle the seat belt behind the child
restraint and out of the child’s reach.
If the buckled seat belt interferes with
the child restraint installation, instead
of buckling it behind the child re­straint, route the seat belt through the
child restraint belt path and then
buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt.
Remind all children in the vehicle that
the seat belts are not toys and that
they should not play with them.

INSTALLING A CHILD
RESTRAINT WITH A
SWITCHABLE AUTOMATIC
LOCKING RETRACTOR (ALR):

1. Place the child seat in the center of
the seating position. For some second
row seats, you may need to recline the
seat and/or raise the head restraint to
get a better fit. If the rear seat can be
moved forward and rearward in the
vehicle, you may wish to move it to its
rear-most position to make room for
the child seat. You may also move the
front seat forward to allow more room
for the child seat.

2. Pull enough of the seat belt web­bing from the retractor to pass it
through the belt path of the child re­straint. Do not twist the belt webbing
in the belt path.

3. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”

4. Pull on the webbing to make the
lap portion tight against the child
seat.

5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on
the shoulder part of the belt until you
have pulled all the seat belt webbing
out of the retractor. Then, allow the
webbing to retract back into the re­tractor. As the webbing retracts, you
will hear a clicking sound. This means
the seat belt is now in the Automatic
Locking mode.

Try to pull the webbing out of the

6.
retractor. If it is locked, you should not
be able to pull out any webbing. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.

66

7. Finally, pull up on any excess web­bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint while you push the
child restraint rearward and down­ward into the vehicle seat.

8. Test that the child restraint is in­stalled tightly by pulling back and
forth on the child seat at the belt path.
It should not move more than 25 mm
in any direction.

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 (CINCH)

1. Place the child seat in the center of
the seating position. For some second
row seats, you may need to recline the
seat and / or raise the head restraint to
get a better fit. If the rear seat can be
moved forward and rearward in the
vehicle, you may wish to move it to its
rear-most position to make room for
the child seat. You may also move the
front seat forward to allow more room
for the child seat.

2. Next, pull enough of the seat belt
webbing from the retractor to pass it
through the belt path of the child re­straint. Do not twist the belt webbing
in the belt path.

3. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”

4. Finally, pull up on any excess web­bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint while you push the
child restraint rearward and down­ward into the vehicle seat.

5. Test that the child restraint is in­stalled tightly by pulling back and
forth on the child seat at the belt path.
It should not move more than 25 mm
in any direction.

Any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally,
and pull it tight if necessary.

If the buckle or the cinching latch
plate is too close to the belt path open­ing of the child restraint, you may
have trouble tightening the seat belt.
If this happens, disconnect the latch
plate from the buckle and twist the
short buckle-end belt up to three full

turns to shorten it. Insert the latch
plate into the buckle with the release
button facing out, away from the
child restraint. Repeat steps 4 to 6,
above, to complete the installation of
the child restraint.

If the belt still cannot be tightened
after you shorten the buckle, discon­nect the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around one half turn,
and insert the latch plate into the
buckle again. If you still cannot make
the child restraint installation tight,
try a different seating position .

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.

67

ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS

NOTE: No towing for the first
500 km of use.

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 “Maintaining Your 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.

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.

68

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

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 seat belt.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT

The light should turn on
and remain on for four to
six seconds as a bulb check

when the ignition switch is
first turned ON. If the light is not lit
during starting, or if the light stays on,
flickers, or turns 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.

69

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.

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.

70

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 or brake fluid
leaks are suspected, the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.

horizontal and vertical adjustment of
the mirror. Adjust the mirror to center
on the view through the rear window.

Headlight glare can be reduced by
moving the small control under the
mirror to the night position (toward
the rear of the vehicle). The mirror
should be adjusted while set in the day
position (toward the windshield).

Manual Rearview Mirror

AUTOMATIC DIMMING
MIRROR (for versions/
markets, where provided)

This mirror automatically adjusts for
headlight glare from vehicles behind
you. You can turn the feature on or off
by pressing the button at the base of
the mirror. A light to the left of the
button will illuminate to indicate
when the dimming feature is acti­vated. The sensor to the right of the
button does not illuminate.

NOTE: This feature is disabled
when the vehicle is moving in re­verse.

Automatic Dimming Mirror

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to the mirror dur­ing cleaning, never spray any
cleaning solution directly onto the
mirror. Apply the solution onto a
clean cloth and wipe the mirror
clean.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS

To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirror(s) to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in
an outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on side
convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or
other object. Use your inside mirror
when judging the size or distance of
a vehicle seen in a side convex mir­ror.

82

DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC
DIMMING MIRROR (for

memory seat only), (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

Tilt Mirrors in Reverse provides auto­matic outside mirror positioning which
will aid the drivers view of the ground
rearward of the front doors. The driv­er's outside mirror will move slightly
downward from the present position
when the vehicle is shifted into RE­VERSE. The driver's outside mirror
will then return to the original position
when the vehicle is shifted out of RE­VERSE position. Each stored memory
setting will have an associated Tilt Mir­rors in Reverse position.

NOTE:
feature is not enabled when deliv­ered from the factory. The Tilt Mir­rors in Reverse feature can be en­abled or disabled in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor­mation Center (EVIC)/Customer­Programmable Features” in “Un­derstanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

If the mirrors are in the folded posi­tion, and vehicle speed is equal or
greater than 16 km/h, they will auto­matically unfold.

Resetting the Power Folding Out­side Mirrors

You may need to reset the power fold­ing mirrors if the following occurs:

• The mirrors are accidentally

blocked while folding.

• The mirrors are accidentally manu-

ally folded/unfolded.

• The mirrors come out of the un-

folded position.

• The mirrors shake and vibrate at

normal driving speeds.

To reset the power folding mirrors:
Fold and unfold them by pressing the
button. (This may require multiple
button pushes). This resets them to
their normal position.

84

ILLUMINATED VANITY
MIRRORS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

An illuminated vanity mirror is lo­cated on the sun visor. To use the
mirror, rotate the sun visor down and
swing the mirror cover upward. The
lights turn on automatically. Closing
the mirror cover turns off the lights.

Illuminated Mirror

BLIND SPOT
MONITORING (BSM) (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

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.

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
is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand-by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.

The BSM detection zone covers ap­proximately one lane width on both
sides of the vehicle 3.8 m. The zone
length starts at the outside rear view
mirror and extends approximately 3
m beyond the rear bumper of the ve­hicle. The BSM system monitors the

detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle when the vehicle speed has
reached 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.

• The BSM system detection zone

DOES NOT change if your ve­hicle is towing a trailer. There­fore, visually verify the adjacent
lane is clear for both your ve­hicle and trailer before making
a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
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.

85

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.).

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

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

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.

Side Monitoring

Overtaking/Approaching

Overtaking/Passing

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.

87

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 5 km/h, to
objects moving a maximum of ap­proximately 32 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.

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

Modes Of Operation With EVIC

Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center

(EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer­Programmable Features)” in “Under­standing Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.

Blind Spot Alert Lights Only

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 volume is reduced.

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.

88

In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.

NOTE:

• Whenever an audible alert is re­quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.

• 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 volume is re­duced. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always re­quests the chime.

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

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.

OPERATION

Voice commands can be used to oper­ate the Uconnect® Phone and to navi­gate through the Uconnect® Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are
required after most Uconnect® Phone
prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided
through the available options.

• Prior to giving a voice command,
one must wait for the beep, which
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”.

“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.
