Page 22 GETTING STARTED The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable classification. The OCS estimates the seated weight on the front passenger seat and where that weight is located. The OCS communicates the classification status to the ORC. The ORC uses the classification to determine whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag inflation rate should be adjusted.
Page 23 GETTING STARTED Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small Adults) When a lighter weight passenger, including a small adult, occupies the front passenger seat, the OCS may reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. This does not mean that the OCS is working improperly. Do not decrease OR increase the front passenger’s seated weight on the front passenger seat The front passenger’s seated weight must be properly positioned on the front...
Page 24 GETTING STARTED The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable classification. If an occupant in the front passenger seat is seated improperly, the occupant may provide an output signal to the OCS that is different from the occupant’s properly seated weight input, for example: Not Seated Properly Not Seated Properly...

Page 27 GETTING STARTED Supplemental Side Air Bags • Your vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located in the outboard side of the front and rear (in vehicles equipped with outboard rear seat SABs) seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
Page 28: Child Restraints
GETTING STARTED 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.
Page 29 GETTING STARTED Locating Tether Anchorages In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. Tether Anchors Center Seat LATCH The center seating position in this vehicle has a single dedicated anchorage. Use anchorages 3 and 4 to install a child seat in the center position.
Page 30 GETTING STARTED 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.
Page 31 GETTING STARTED 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.
Page 32: Head Restraints
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.
Page 33 GETTING STARTED Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with Reactive Head Restraints (RHR). In the event of a rear impact the RHRs will automatically extend forward minimizing the gap between the back of the occupants head and the RHR.

GETTING STARTED Recliner Adjustment • The rear seatback also reclines for additional passenger comfort. Pull on the pull strap while sitting in the rear seat to recline the seatback. 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.
Page 38: Heated Steering Wheel
GETTING STARTED Front Ventilated Seats Located in the seat cushion and seatback are small fans that draw the air from the passenger compartment and pull air through fine perforations in the seat cover to help keep the driver and front passenger cooler in higher ambient temperatures. There are two ventilated seat control buttons located in the touchscreen that allow the driver and passenger to operate the seats independently.

GETTING STARTED WARNING! • Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus- tion, or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the steering wheel heater.
Page 40: Engine Break-In Recommendations
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.

Page 45: Adaptive Cruise Control (Acc)
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control the controls operate ex- actly the same as the electronic speed control with only a couple of differences. With this option you can set a specified distance you would like to maintain be- tween you and the vehicle in front of you.
Page 46 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Metric Speed (km/h) • Pushing the SET + button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h. • If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase in 10 km/h increments until the button is released.
Page 47 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Distance Setting (ACC Only) The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead.
Page 48 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Page 49: Forward Collision Warning (Fcw With Mitigation
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with audible warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC/DID), and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
Page 50 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting. The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision. This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.
