Page 17: Replacement Keys
16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The system uses Key Fob with factory-mated Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only Key Fobs that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank if an invalid Key Fob is used to start and operate the vehicle.
Page 18: Customer Key Programming
CAUTION! (Continued) • For vehicles equipped with Keyless Go, always remember to place the ignition in OFF. At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is required for authorized dealer replacement of Key Fobs.

Page 44: Seat Belt Pretensioners - If Equipped
Seat Belt Pretensioners — If Equipped The seat belts for both front seating positions may be equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.

Page 47 46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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. This vehicle may also be equipped with Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to protect the driver, front, and rear passengers sitting next to a win-...
Page 48 appropriate to the severity and type of collision as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive information from the impact sensors at the front of the car. The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an impact that requires airbag deployment. The timing of the second stage determines whether the output force is low, medium, or high.
Page 49 48 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE airbag features inflated chambers placed adjacent to the head of each outboard occupant that reduce the potential for side-impact head injuries. The curtains deploy down- ward, covering both windows on the impact side. Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) NOTE: •...
Page 50 WARNING! • If your vehicle is equipped with left and right Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the SABIC. The area where the side curtain airbag is located should remain free from any obstructions.
Page 51 50 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. 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.
Page 52: Airbag Deployment Sensors And Controls
WARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during front airbag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instru- ment panel.
Page 53 52 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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 54 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.
Page 55 54 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and 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...
Page 56 • Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed. • Unlock the doors automatically. If a Deployment Occurs The airbags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment.
Page 57 56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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 as soon as possible. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) system serviced as well.
Page 58 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 261: Traction
260 STARTING AND OPERATING 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 262: Flowing/Rising Water
Flowing/Rising Water WARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water.
Page 263 262 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water.
Page 264: Power Steering
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.

Page 269 268 STARTING AND OPERATING 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. When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (11 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises.
Page 270 WARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains so- phisticated electronic equipment that may be sus- ceptible 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 271: Electronic Brake Control System
270 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 Warning Light The “Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning 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 272: Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs)
An additional electronic brake control feature called Hill Start Assist (HSA) is standard on manual transmission models. 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.
Page 273: Brake Assist System (Bas)
272 STARTING AND OPERATING A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a limited-slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel.
Page 274: Hill Start Assist (Hsa) - Manual Transmission Only
Hill Start Assist (HSA) – Manual Transmission Only The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressure the driver applied for a short period of time after the driver takes their foot off of the brake pedal.
Page 275: Electronic Stability Program (Esp)
274 STARTING AND OPERATING For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the following steps: NOTE: You must complete Steps 1 through 8 within 90 seconds. 1. Center the steering wheel (front wheels pointing straight forward). 2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL. 3.
Page 276 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. When the actual path does not match the intended path, the ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer.
Page 277 276 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.
