Head Restraints The front seats have adjustable head restraints in the outboard seating positions. { W ARNING: With head restraints that are not installed and adjusted properly , there is a greater chance that occupants will suffer a neck/spinal injury in a crash. Do not drive until the head restraints for all occupants are installed and adjusted properly .

{ W ARNING: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts cannot do their job when you are reclined like this. The shoulder belt cannot do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt cannot do its job either . In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly . Do not have a seatback reclined if the vehicle is moving. 2-8[...]

Power Lift Seat T o adjust a power lift seat, press the top or bottom of the power lift seat switch to raise or lower the seat.

Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat. 2-9[...]

T o lower the rear seatback, pull up on the seatback strap while folding the seatback down. This allows access to the trunk. T o raise the rear seatback pull the seatback up and make sure it latches. Push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked in position. Make sure that the safety belts are properly stowed over the seatback in all three positions. { W ARNING: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted. { W ARNING:[...]

Safety Belts Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone This section of the manual describes how to use safety belts properly . It also describes some things not to do with safety belts. { W ARNING: Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt cannot be worn properly . In a crash, if you or your passenger(s) are not wearing safety belts, the injuries can be much worse. Y ou can hit things inside the vehicle harder or be ejected from the vehicle. Y ou and your passenger(s) can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passenger(s) are restrained properly too. { W ARNING: It is extremely dangerous to r[...]

In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing safety belts. Here is why: Y ou never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a serious one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person would not survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away . Without safety belts, they could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 40 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear . In most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot! Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes[...]

Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. 2-13[...]

The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... or the instrument panel... 2-14[...]

or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why safety belts make such good sense. Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I am wearing a safety belt? A: Y ou could be — whether you are wearing a safety belt or not. But your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted. And you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you are upside down. Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear safety belts? A: Airbags are supple[...]

Q: If I am a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver, but if you are in a crash — even one that is not your fault — you and your passenger(s) can be hurt. Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph (65 km/h). Safety belts are for everyone. How to Wear Safety Belts Properly This section is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different [...]

Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones and you would be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop or crash. 2-17[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury . The shoulder belt should fit snugly against your body . 2-18[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The lap belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your lap belt is too loose. In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The lap belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. 2-19[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong buckle. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not on the pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. 2-20[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this. The belt would be much too high. In a crash, you can slide under the belt. The belt force would then be applied on the abdomen, not on the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries. Be sure the belt goes under the armrests. 2-21[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury . Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as shoulder bones. Y ou could also severely injure internal organs like your liver or spleen. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. 2-22[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is behind the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, you would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. Y our body could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury . Y ou might also slide under the lap belt. The belt force would then be applied right on the abdomen. That could cause serious or fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. 2-23[...]

Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. { W ARNING: Children can be seriously injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck and the safety belt continues to tighten. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle and never allow children to play with the safety belts. Airbags plus lap ‐ shoulder belts offer protection for ad[...]

{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never hold an infant or a child while riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an infant or a child will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it during a crash. For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will suddenly become a 1 10 kg (240 lb) force on a person's arms. An infant should be secured in an appropriate restraint. 2-36[...]

{ W ARNING: Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to secure a forward-facing child restraint in a rear seat. If you must secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat, always move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go. 2-37[...]

Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used. For most basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure it is designed to be used in a motor vehicle. If it is, the restraint will have a label saying that it meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. The restraint manufacturer&[...]

Child Restraint Systems A rear-facing infant seat (A) provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint. A forward-facing child seat (B) provides restraint for the child's body with the harness. A booster seat (C-D) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window . 2-39[...]

Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system: { W ARNING: Y ou can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt — even if you have airbags. Airbags are designed to work with safety belts, but do not replace them. Also, airbags are not designed to deploy in every crash. In some crashes safety belts are your only restraint. See When Should an Airbag Inflate? on page 2 ‑ 61 . Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags are “ supplemental restraints ” to the safety belts. Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety belt properly — wheth[...]

{ W ARNING: Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them. Y oung children and infants need the protection that a child restraint system can provide. Always secure children properly in your vehicle. T o read how , see Older Children on page 2 ‑ 32 or Infants and Y oung Children on page 2 ‑ 35 . There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel cluster , which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airb[...]

{ W ARNING: If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or even death. The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear . Do not put anything between an occupant and an airbag, and do not attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other airbag covering. Do not use seat accessories that block the inflation path of a seat-mounted side impact airbag. Never secure anything to the roof of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags by routing a rope or tie down through any door or window opening. If you do, the path of an inflating roof-rail airbag will be blocked. When [...]

Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds. For example: . If the vehicle hits a stationary object, the airbags could inflate at a different crash speed than if the vehicle hits a moving object. . If the vehicle hits an object that deforms, the airbags could inflate at a dif ferent crash speed than if the vehicle hits an object that does not deform. . If the vehicle hits a narrow object (like a pole), the airbags could inflate at a dif ferent crash speed than if the vehicle hits a wide object (like a wall). . If the vehicle goes into an object at an angle, the airbags could inflate at a dif ferent crash speed than if the vehicle goes straight into the object. Thresholds can also v[...]

What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the inflator . Gas from the inflator fills the airbag causing the bag to break out of the cover and deploy . The inflator , the airbag, and related hardware are all part of the airbag module. Frontal airbag modules are located inside the steering wheel and instrument panel. For vehicles with seat-mounted side impact airbags, there are airbag modules in the side of the front seatbacks closest to the door . For vehicles with roof-rail airbags, there are airbag modules in the ceiling of the vehicle, near the side windows that have occupant seating positions. How Do[...]

What Will Y ou See After an Airbag Inflates? After the frontal airbags and seat-mounted side impact airbags inflate, they quickly deflate, so quickly that some people may not even realize an airbag inflated. Roof-rail airbags may still be at least partially inflated for some time after they deploy . Some components of the airbag module may be hot for several minutes. For location of the airbag modules, see What Makes an Airbag Inflate? on page 2 ‑ 63 . The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing out of th[...]

{ W ARNING: A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may have also damaged important functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel system, brake and steering systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after a moderate crash, there may be concealed damage that could make it difficult to safely operate the vehicle. Use caution if you should attempt to restart the engine after a crash has occurred. In many crashes severe enough to inflate the airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the right front passenger airbag. . Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After an airbag inflates, you will need some new parts f[...]

Y our Driving, the Road, and the V ehicle Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “ always expect the unexpected. ” The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt — See Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone on page 2 ‑ 1 1 . { W ARNING: Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do and be ready . In addition: . Allow enough following distance between you and the driver in front of you. . Focus on the task of driving. Driver distraction can cause collisions resulting in injury or possible death. These simple defensive driving techniques could save your life. Drunk D[...]

For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person's system can make crash injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that person's chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not been drinking. Control of a V ehicle The following three systems help to c[...]

allowing realistic following distances eliminates a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brake life. If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but do not pump the brakes. If the brakes are pumped, the pedal could get harder to push down. If the engine stops, there will still be some power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. Once the power assist is used up, it can take longer to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push. Adding non ‐ dealer/non ‐ retailer accessories can affect vehicle performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 6 ‑ 3 . Antilock Brake System (ABS) This vehicle has the [...]

Using ABS Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly and let antilock work. The antilock pump or motor might be heard operating and the brake pedal might be felt to pulsate , but this is normal. Braking in Emergencies ABS allows the driver to steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help more than even the very best braking. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) The vehicle has an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system which combines antilock brake, traction and stability control systems and helps the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle in most driving conditions. When you first start the vehicle and begin to drive away , the syste[...]

If the vehicle is in cruise control when the system begins to assist the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle, the ESC/TCS light will flash and the cruise control will automatically disengage. The cruise control system may be re-engaged when road conditions allow . See Cruise Control on page 4 ‑ 7 . The ESC/TCS button is located on the instrument panel. The traction control system can be turned off or back on by pressing the ESC/TCS button. T o disable both traction control and ESC, press and hold the button briefly . When the ESC system is turned off, the TRACTION OFF and ESC OFF messages will appear , and the ESC/TCS light will be on solid to warn the driver that both tract[...]

T raction Control System (TCS) The vehicle may have a T raction Control System (TCS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that the front wheels are spinning too much or are beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system works the front brakes and reduces engine power by closing the throttle and managing engine spark to limit wheel spin. This light will flash when the traction control system is limiting wheel spin. The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but this is normal. If the vehicle is in cruise control when TCS begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disenga[...]

T o turn the system off or on, press and release this button located on the center console. The DIC will display the appropriate message as described previously when the button is pressed. T raction Control Operation T raction control limits wheel spin by reducing engine power to the wheels (engine speed management) and by applying brakes to each individual wheel (brake-traction control) as necessary . The traction control system is enabled automatically when the vehicle is started, and it will activate and flash the ESC/TCS light and display the LOW TRACTION message if it senses either of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction while driving. For more information on the [...]

Steering Electric Power Steering If the vehicle has the electric power steering system and the engine stalls while driving, the power steering assist system will continue to operate until you are able to stop the vehicle. If power steering assist is lost because the electric power steering system is not functioning, the vehicle can be steered but it will take more effort. If you turn the steering wheel in either direction several times until it stops, or hold the steering wheel in the stopped position for an extended amount of time, you may notice a reduced amount of power steering assist. The normal amount of power steering assist should return shortly after a few normal steering movements.[...]

Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you. These problems can be avoided by braking — if you can stop in time. But sometimes you cannot stop in time because there is no room. That is the time for evasive action — steering around the problem. The vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply the brakes — but, unless the vehicle has antilock brakes, not enough to lock the wheels. See Braking on page 5 ‑ 3 . It is better to rem[...]

Off-Road Recovery The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy . Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way , steer so that the vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. T urn the steering wheel 8 to 13 cm (3 to 5 inches), about one-eighth turn, until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway . Passing Passing another vehicle on a two-lane road can be dangerous. T o reduce the risk of danger while passing: . Look down the road, to the sides, and to cross[...]

Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to the vehicle's three control systems. In the braking skid, the wheels are not rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force. And in the acceleration skid, too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin. Remember: Any traction control system helps avoid only the acceleration skid. If the traction control system is off, then an acceleration ski[...]

. When tired, pull off the road. . Do not wear sunglasses. . Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps. . Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle clean — inside and out. . Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns or curves. No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But, as we get older , these differences increase. A 50-year-old driver might need at least twice as much light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old. Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction and affect your ability to stop and accelerate. Always drive slower in these types of driving conditions and avoid driving through large puddles and deep ‐ [...]

Other Rainy Weather T ips Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips include: . Allow extra following distance. . Pass with caution. . Keep windshield wiping equipment in good shape. . Keep the windshield washer fluid reservoir filled. . Have good tires with proper tread depth. See Tires on page 6 ‑ 48 . . T urn off cruise control. Before Leaving on a Long T rip T o prepare your vehicle for a long trip, consider having it serviced by your dealer/retailer before departing. Things to check on your own include: . Windshield Washer Fluid: Reservoir full? Windows clean — inside and outside? . Wiper Blades: In good shape? . Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: All levels checked? . Lamps:[...]

{ W ARNING: If you do not shift down, the brakes could get so hot that they would not work well. Y ou would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill. Y ou could crash. Shift down to let the engine assist the brakes on a steep downhill slope. { W ARNING: Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with the ignition off is dangerous. The brakes will have to do all the work of slowing down and they could get so hot that they would not work well. Y ou would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill. Y ou could crash. Always have the engine running and the vehicle in gear when going downhill. . Stay in your own lane. Do not swing wide or cut across the center of the road. Drive a[...]

Allow greater following distance on any slippery road and watch for slippery spots. Icy patches can occur on otherwise clear roads in shaded areas. The surface of a curve or an overpass can remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear . Avoid sudden steering maneuvers and braking while on ice. T urn off cruise control, if equipped, on slippery surfaces. Blizzard Conditions Being stuck in snow can be in a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby . If possible, use the Roadside Assistance Program on page 8 ‑ 7 . T o get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: . T urn on the Hazard Warning Flashers on page 4 ‑ 3 . . T ie a red cloth to an outside mirror . [...]

W ARNING: (Continued) Y ou cannot see it or smell it, so you might not know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle, especially any that is blocking the exhaust. Run the engine for short periods only as needed to keep warm, but be careful. T o save fuel, run the engine for only short periods as needed to warm the vehicle and then shut the engine off and close the window most of the way to save heat. Repeat this until help arrives but only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold. Moving about to keep warm also helps. If it takes some time for help to arrive, now and then when you run the engine, push the accelerator pedal slightly so the engine run[...]

Rocking Y our V ehicle to Get It Out T urn the steering wheel left and right to clear the area around the front wheels. T urn off any traction or stability system. Shift back and forth between R (Reverse) and a forward gear , spinning the wheels as little as possible. T o prevent transmission wear , wait until the wheels stop spinning before shifting gears. Release the accelerator pedal while shifting, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transmission is in gear . Slowly spinning the wheels in the forward and reverse directions causes a rocking motion that could free the vehicle. If that does not get the vehicle out after a few tries, it might need to be towed out. If the vehi[...]

Tire and Loading Information Label Label Example A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the vehicle's center pillar (B-pillar). With the driver door open, you will find the label attached below the door lock post (striker). The T ire and Loading Information label lists the number of occupant seating positions (A), and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (B) in kilograms and pounds. The T ire and Loading Information label also lists the tire size of the original equipment tires (C) and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D). For more information on tires and inflation, see Tires on page 6 ‑ 48 and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6 ‑ 57 . The[...]

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “ The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs ” on your vehicle's placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if the “ XXX ” amount equals 1400 lbs and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs). 5.
