INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT Special design considerations are incorporated into this vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone equipment must be installed properly by trained person- nel. The following must be observed during installation. The positive power connection should be made directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible. The negative power connection should be made to body sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection. This connection should not be fused. Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so equipped.


The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use only fully shielded coaxial cable. Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than normal may require special precautions. All installations should be checked for possible interfer- ence between the communications equipment and the vehicle’s electronic systems.

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.


WARNING!


Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15


SENTRY KEY姞 The Sentry Key威 Immobilizer system prevents unauthor- ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. The system uses a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only Key Fobs that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. After cycling the ignition switch to the ON/RUN posi- tion, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used an invalid


16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Key Fob to start the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds. If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 sec- onds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer.


CAUTION!


The Sentry Key威 Immobilizer system is not compat- ible with some after-market remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.


All of the Key Fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.


Replacement Keys


NOTE: Only Key Fobs that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a Key Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.


CAUTION!


Always remove the keys from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.


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. Duplication of Key Fobs may be performed at an autho- rized dealer, this procedure consists of programming a blank Key Fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank Key Fob is one that has never been programmed.


NOTE: When having the Sentry Key威 Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle Key Fobs with you to an authorized dealer. Customer Key Programming Programming Key Fobs or RKE transmitters may be performed at an authorized dealer. General Information The Sentry Key威 system complies with FCC rules Part 15
and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause unde- sired operation.

Power Windows The window controls on the driver’s door control all the door windows.


Power Window Switches


There are single window controls on each passenger door trim panel, which operate the passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position. For vehicles equipped with the Uconnect NOTE: Touch™, the power window switches will remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is cycled to the OFF position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature. The time is programmable. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.


WARNING!


Never leave children in a vehicle with the Key Fob. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can be- come entrapped by the windows while operating the power window switches. Such entrapment may re- sult in serious injury or death.


AUTO-Down Feature The driver door power window switch and some model passenger door power window switches have an AUTO- down feature. Press the window switch to the second detent, release, and the window will go down automati- cally. To open the window part way, press the window switch to the first detent and release it when you want the window to stop. To stop the window from going all the way down during the AUTO-down operation, pull up on the switch briefly.

To close the window part way, lift the window switch to the first detent and release it when you want the window to stop. NOTE: • If the window runs into any obstacle during auto- closure, it will reverse direction and then go back down. Remove the obstacle and use the window switch again to close the window. • Any impact due to rough road conditions may trigger the auto-reverse function unexpectedly during auto- closure. If this happens, pull the switch lightly to the first detent and hold to close the window manually.


WARNING!


There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the window before closing.


38 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Reset Auto Up Should the Auto Up feature stop working, the window probably needs to be reset. To reset Auto Up: 1. Pull the window switch up to close the window completely and continue to hold the switch up for an additional two seconds after the window is closed. 2. Push the window switch down firmly to the second detent to open the window completely and continue to hold the switch down for an additional two seconds after the window is fully open.

Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain


open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, then open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, then adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting.


TRUNK LOCK AND RELEASE The trunk lid can be released from inside the vehicle by pressing the TRUNK RELEASE button located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. NOTE: The transmission must be in PARK before the button will operate.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems: • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for the driver and • Advanced Front Airbags for driver and front passen- • Supplemental Driver Side Knee Airbag • Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and passengers seated next to a window • Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags (SAB) • An energy-absorbing steering column and steering • Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 41


• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners that may enhance occupant protection by managing occupant energy during an impact event


Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible. If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. For more information on LATCH, see Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH). Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag: 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat.


42 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE


WARNING!


Infants in rear facing child restraints should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that posi- tion.


Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see section on Child Restraints) should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should 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. (Refer to “Child Restraints”) You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly. 2. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly. 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. Your vehicle has Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) or Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags (SAB), and deployment occurs, the SABIC and SAB airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door.


5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided under ⴖIf You Need Assistanceⴖ.


WARNING!


• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
