WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the ignition and lock
your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
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 shift lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children.
A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

on the Key Fob twice within five seconds.
GETTING STARTED
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.
THEFT ALARM
To Arm:
• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is
open.
To Disarm:
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
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 the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be 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.
11
GETTING STARTED
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not buckled up properly. 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front
passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front
Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several
factors, including the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are
not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to
protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to
provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
If the Air Bag Warning Light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
•
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
12
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 Advanced
Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflation Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Supplemental Side Air bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental SeatMounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or
window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have developed. 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 and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
•
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
NOTE:
For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK.
Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information. http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear
seating positions.
• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors, and all three rear seating
positions have top tether anchors.
13
GETTING STARTED
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard
positions only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can be used in all three
seating positions.
• NEVER install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common
lower anchorage.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the
lower straps and tether straps so that
you can attach the hook or connector
to the lower and tether anchorages
more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors
over the top of the seatcover material.
• The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint and
attached to the tether anchor on the
rear of the seatback.
• Tighten all three straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull
enough of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor to route it through the belt
path of the child restraint and slide the
latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt
to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure
the top tether strap. The tether strap should be routed over the center top of the
head restraint.
14
GETTING STARTED
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be 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.
• 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.
FRONT SEATS
Power Seats
• The power seat switch is located on
the outboard side of the seat near the
floor. Use the switch to move the seat
up, down, forward, rearward, or to tilt
the seat.
15
GETTING STARTED
MANUAL SEAT
Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting bar located at
the front of the seat near the floor and
release at the desired position. Then,
using body pressure, move forward and
rearward on the seat to be sure that the
seat adjusters have latched.
Recliner
• Lift the recliner handle located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean back
and release at the desired position.
Driver’s Seat Height Adjustment
• The height adjustment lever is located
on the outboard side of the seat. Raise
the lever to raise the seat. Lower the
lever to lower the seat.
Lumbar Support
• The lumbar lever is on the outboard
side of the seatback. Rotate the lumbar lever downward to increase the
lumbar support or upward to decrease
the lumbar support as desired.
Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat
• The front passenger seat can be folded
flat. Pull up on the recliner handle, to
the full upward position, to fold down
the seatback.
16
GETTING STARTED
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may
cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement
is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden
movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not
be properly adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust a
seat while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seatback
• To fold each rear seatback, pull the
strap forward to move the seatback
forward and flat.
Reclining Rear Seatback
•
To recline each rear seatback, pull the
strap forward just enough to release the
seatback latch. Then push the seatback
to a reclined position, approximately
35 degrees maximum, and release the
strap.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.
17
GETTING STARTED
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for the front heated seats
are located on the center instrument

The Low-level setting will turn Off automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
18

down as desired.
• Pull upward on the lever to lock the
column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving, or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Be sure the steering column is locked before driving
your vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in severe injury or death.
19
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 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 “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous.
You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You
could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic Speed
Control system off when you are not using it.
•
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a
constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could
lose control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (CVT)
•
While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds, the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite number of speeds. This
allows it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel economy.
• Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is “shifting.” These
characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
• Never leave children in a vehicle, and do not leave the key in the ignition switch
(or leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the
ACC or ON/Run position). Occupants, particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof
switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If
buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows
together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust
any window. This will minimize buffeting.
