airbags may activate in other types of
crashes if the vehicle experiences
sufficient sideways motion or
deformation.

•

The knee airbag(s) may deploy based
on crash severity and occupant
conditions.

•

The design of the Safety Canopy is to
inflate in certain side impact crashes
and when a certain likelihood of
rollover is detected by the rollover
sensor. The Safety Canopy may
activate in other types of crashes if the
vehicle experiences sufficient sideways
motion or deformation, or a certain
likelihood of rollover.

AIRBAG DISPOSAL

Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Airbags must be disposed of by

GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Note: Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.

The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 ft (10 m).
Vehicles with the remote start feature will
have a greater range.

One of the following could cause a
decrease in operating range:
•

Weather conditions.

•

Nearby radio towers.

•

Structures around the vehicle.

•

Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.

The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other radio
transmitters, for example amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones,
wireless remote controls, cell phones,
battery chargers and alarm systems. If the
frequencies are jammed, you will not be
able to use your remote control. You can
lock and unlock the doors with the key.

Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.

Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.

Intelligent Access

(If Equipped)

The system uses a radio frequency signal
to communicate with your vehicle and
authorize your vehicle to unlock when one
of the following conditions are met:
•

You activate the front exterior door
handle switch.

•

You press the luggage compartment
button.

•

You press a button on the transmitter.

If excessive radio frequency interference
is present in the area or if the transmitter
battery is low, you may need to
mechanically unlock your door. You can
use the mechanical key blade in your
intelligent access key to open the driver
