SEAT BELT
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap
portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt
in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your
neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
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.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move too far
forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the
belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately.Do not disassemble or modify thesystem. Seat belt assemblies mustbe
replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that
are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

GETTING STARTED
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. Youcan 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver's Advanced Front Air Bag is
mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger's Advanced Front Air Bag is
mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words AIRBAG are
embossed on theair bag covers.In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the steering column.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design.This allows the air bag to
have different rates of inflation based on several factors, including the severity and type
of collision.
• This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or front passenger seat track position
sensors that may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon
seat position.
• This vehicle may be equippedwith a driver and/or front passenger seat belt buckleswitch
that detects whether the driver or front passenger seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.
• This vehicle may beequipped with Supplemental SideAir Bag Inflatable Curtains(SABIC)
to protect the driver, front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window. The SABIC air

GETTING STARTED
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during AdvancedFront Air
Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and SupplementalSeat-Mounted 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 Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or SeatMounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
• 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.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 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.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride
in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK
(1–866–732–8243).

LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren
• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which
stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
• The second row seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors. The third
row seating positions (if equipped) do not have lower anchors or top tether anchors.
• You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the
child and the child restraint is 65 lbs
(29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether
anchor instead of theLATCH systemonce
the combined weight is more than 65 lbs
(29.5 kg).
The lower anchorages areround bars

that are found at the rearof 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.
•
In addition, there are tether strap
anchors located behind each rear seatback, near to the floor.

1 — Tether Anchors
GETTING STARTED
• The center seating position in this vehicle has a single dedicated anchorage. Use
anchorages B and C to install a child seat in the center position. Do not use anchorages
C and D to install a child seat. If youare installing three child restraints, you must use the
seatbelt to install the center child restraint. Youcan use either the LATCHanchors or the
vehicle’s seat belt for installing the child seats in the outboard positions. See the vehicle
owner’s manual for more information about center LATCH.
Lower Anchors
Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that
you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lowerhooks or connectors of thechild restraint to the loweranchorages in the
selected seating position.
3. If the child restrainthas a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below
for directions to attach a tether anchor.
4.
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.
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 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
17
GETTING STARTED
Installing The Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• The seat belts in the outboard passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR). The center seating positions are equipped with
a cinching latch plate. Both typesof seat belts are designed to keepthe lap portion of the
seat belt tight around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it throughthe belt path of
the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all
the seat belt webbingoutof the retractor.Then,allow the webbing to retractback 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.
5. Try to pull the webbingout of the retractor. If it is locked,youshould not be ableto pull out
any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint
while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
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 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
To Install A Child Seat Using A Cinching Latch Plate:
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position.
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 excesswebbing to tighten the lapportion around the child restraint
while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
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 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
18
GETTING STARTED
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to
the tether anchorweight limit, whether the child restraintis installed with the lower anchors
or the vehicle seat belt.
1. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor
and the child seat.
2. 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 and remove
slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
Integrated Child Booster Seat — If Equipped
The Integrated Child Booster Seat is located in each outboard second-row passenger seat.
NOTE:
Referto the Integrated ChildBooster Seat information label located on the front lowerpanel
of the opened Booster Seat for child weight specifications.
To position a child into the Integrated Child Booster Seat follow these steps:
1. Slide the second row seat to the full rear position to use the Integrated Child Booster

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and
others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in
a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a
front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• 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.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (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 energyconserving 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 “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should beconsidered a normal part of the break-in and notinterpreted as an
indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAM LEVER
