ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de- signed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
Page 41 40 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! (Continued) • Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly. Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
Page 42 3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” Inserting Latch Plate into Buckle THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 41 WARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly.
Page 43 42 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! (Continued) • 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.
Page 44 WARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug.
Page 45: Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractor Lockout (Four-Door Models Only)
44 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractor Lockout (Four-Door Models Only) This feature is designed to lock the retractor whenever the 60% rear seatback is not fully latched. This prevents someone from wearing the rear center lap/shoulder belt when the rear seatback is not fully latched.
Page 46 Adjusting Upper Shoulder Belt THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 45 WARNING! Position the shoulder belt height adjusters so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision.
Page 47: Automatic Locking Retractors (Alr) Mode - If Equipped
46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. The belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking Mode is avail- able on all passenger-seating positions with a combina- tion lap/shoulder belt.

Page 51: Supplemental Restraint System (Srs) - Airbags
50 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) — Airbags This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s Advanced Front Airbag is mounted in the steering wheel.
Page 52 The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on 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 Airbags based upon seat position.
Page 53 52 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.
Page 54 The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on the severity and type of collision. Along with the seat belts, Advanced Front Airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger.
Page 55 54 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the Advanced Front Airbags room to inflate. 4. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side airbags, and deployment occurs, the side airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door.

Page 57 56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions. On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Airbags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe...
Page 58 It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instrument cluster Airbag Warning Light if a malfunc- tion is noted that could affect the airbag system. The diagnostics also record the nature of the malfunction. WARNING! Ignoring the Airbag Warning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
Page 59 58 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The ORC determines if a side collision requires the side airbags to inflate based on the severity and type of collision. Based on the severity and type of collision, the side airbag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle is trig- gered, releasing a quantity of non-toxic gas.
Page 60 NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system. If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: •...

Page 63 62 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Children 12 years and under should ride properly buck- led 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. There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
Page 64 • The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for children who weigh up to about 20 lbs (9 kg). “Convertible” child seats often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-facing direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used rearward-facing by children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old.
Page 65 64 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Here are some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards.
Page 66 • Buckle the child into the restraint exactly as the manufacturer’s instructions tell you. • When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious personal injury.
Page 67 66 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • Check belt fit periodically. A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind the back.
Page 68 NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LATCH- compatible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts. WARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Page 69 68 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE NOTE: When using the LATCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out of reach of children. It is recommended that before installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
Page 70 Installing the LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System We urge you to carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described here. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that were provided with the child restraint system.
Page 71 70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. Latch Anchorages (Four-Door Models) Tether Strap Mounting (Two-Door Models)
Page 72 Tether Strap Mounting (Four-Door Models) Many, but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means for adjusting the tension of the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some rear-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap having THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 71...
Page 73 72 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
Page 74 2. 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.
