enjoyable operation of your vehicle.
After you have read the Owner’s Manual, it should be
stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and
remain with the vehicle when sold.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes
in design and specifications, and/or to make additions
to or improvements in its products without imposing
any obligations upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
The Owner's Manual illustrates and describes the features that are standard or available as extra cost options. Therefore, some of the equipment and accessories in this publication may not appear on your vehicle.

parts are officially-approved (for example, by a general
operating permit for the part or by constructing the
part in an officially approved design), or if an individual
operating permit was issued for the vehicle after the
attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
implicitly assumed that the driving safety of your vehicle is unimpaired. Therefore, neither experts nor
official agencies are liable. Therefore the manufacturer
only assumes responsibility when parts, which are expressly authorized or recommended by the manufacturer, are attached or installed at an authorized dealer.
The same applies when modifications to the original
condition are subsequently made on the manufacturer's vehicles.

SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key
thorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle
is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and a
RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
After cycling the ignition to the ON/RUN position, the
Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for
a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a problem with the
electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after
the bulb check, it indicates that someone used an
invalid Key Fob to start the engine. Either of these
conditions will result in the engine being shut off after
two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than
10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the
electronics. Should this occur, havethe vehicle serviced
as soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of
injury by restricting head movement in the event of a
rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that
the top of the head restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants
must be properly adjusted prior to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.
Active Head Restraints (AHR) — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable components, and vehicles with this equipment can not 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.
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. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Safety” for further information.

• Many accessories that can be plugged
in draw power from the vehicle's battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle's battery.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug.
CUPHOLDERS
There are two cupholders, located in the center floor
console, for the front passengers. (fig. 77)
For passengers in the second row there are two cupholders, located in the center armrest between the
two seats.

normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open the front
and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the
sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting or open any
window.
