44 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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.
Page 46 WARNING! (Continued) • Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your pas- sengers safe, too.
Page 47 46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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 WARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly.
Page 48 WARNING! (Continued) • A belt that is worn under your arm is dangerous. Your body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury. A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
Page 49 48 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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.

Page 54: Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Page 55 54 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Front Airbag Components 1 — Airbags 2 — Knee Bolsters NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags. The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
Page 56 NOTE: • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment. • After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately. Airbag System Components Your vehicle may be equipped with the following airbag system components: •...
Page 57 56 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 58 Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) NOTE: • Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pretensioners and/or SABIC airbags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy. • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 57 The system includes side impact sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that are calibrated to deploy...
Page 59 58 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Knee Impact Bolsters The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger, and position front occu- pants for the best interaction with the Advanced Front Airbags. Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Front Airbags work with the knee bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger.
Page 60 If a child from 1 to 12 years old (not in a rear facing child seat) must ride in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible and use the proper child restraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints”) You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.
Page 61: Airbag Deployment Sensors And Controls
60 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Airbag 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.
Page 62 The side airbags will not deploy in all side collisions. Side airbag deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision. Because airbag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an airbag should have deployed.
Page 63 62 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away by an authorized dealer.
Page 64 covers the window. The airbag inflates in about 30 ms (about one-quarter of the time that it takes to blink your eyes) with enough force to injure you if you are not belted and seated properly, or if items are positioned in the area where the side curtain airbag inflates.
Page 65 64 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE If a Deployment Occurs The front airbags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment. NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system.
Page 66 WARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly replaced by an authorized dealer immediately. Also, have the Occupant Re- straint Controller (ORC) system serviced as well. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 65 Maintaining Your Airbag System WARNING!
Page 67 66 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made. Take your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for any advanced airbag system ser- vice.

Page 71 70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend rearward-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). Two types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing, infant carriers and convertible child seats.
Page 72 The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly. If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
Page 73 72 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
Page 74 LATCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren) Your vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH. The LATCH system provides for the installation of the child restraint without using the vehicle’s seat belts, instead securing the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper tether straps from the child restraint to the vehicle structure.
Page 75 74 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE LATCH Anchorages Installing the LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System We urge you to follow the manufacturer’s directions carefully when installing your child restraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described here. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that are provided with the child restraint system.
Page 76 means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some rear-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap. You will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
Page 77 76 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 78 If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again.

Page 292: Traction
Traction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability.
Page 293: Shallow Standing Water
292 STARTING AND OPERATING Shallow Standing Water Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water, consider the following Caution and Warning before doing so. CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.
Page 294: Power Steering
WARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water. • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’s braking capabilities, which increases stop- ping distances. Therefore, after driving through standing water, drive slowly and lightly press on the brake pedal several times to dry the brakes.
Page 295: Power Steering Fluid Check
294 STARTING AND OPERATING • Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steer- ing pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be considered normal, and it does not in any way damage the steering system.
Page 296: Parking Brake
WARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to ensure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturer’s recommended power steering fluid. If necessary, add fluid to restore to the proper indicated level.
Page 297 296 STARTING AND OPERATING When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position, the “Brake Warning Light” in the instrument cluster will illuminate. NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied and the transmis- sion is placed in gear, the “Brake Warning Light” will flash.

WARNING! (Continued) • Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and an accident. • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury.
Page 299: Anti-Lock Brake System
298 STARTING AND OPERATING Anti-Lock Brake System The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lock-up. The electronic brake force distribution (EBD) prevents the rear wheels from over-braking and provides greater control of available braking forces applied to the rear axle.
Page 300 WARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisti- cated electronic equipment that may be suscep- tible to interference caused by improperly in- stalled high output radio equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability. Installation of such equipment should be performed by qualified professionals.
Page 301: Electronic Brake Control System
300 STARTING AND OPERATING All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and type and tires must be properly inflated to produce accurate signals for the computer. Anti-Lock Brake Light The “Anti-Lock Brake Light” monitors the anti- lock brake system. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
Page 302: Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions by controlling hydrau- lic brake pressure. This prevents wheel lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in “Starting and Operating”...
Page 303: Brake Assist System (Bas)
302 STARTING AND OPERATING Brake Assist System (BAS) This system complements the ABS by optimizing the vehicle braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. This system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake appli- cation and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce braking distances.
Page 304 power may also be reduced to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer and help the vehicle maintain the desired path. The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle.
Page 305 304 STARTING AND OPERATING The ESP system has three available operating modes: ESP On This is the normal operating mode for the ESP. Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. The ESP should only be turned OFF for specific reasons as noted in the following paragraphs.
