Passenger Air Bag 

Status Indicator

Your vehicle is equipped with a

Passenger Sensing System located in

the front passenger seat for the front

passenger frontal air bag, and a passen-

ger air bag status indicator located on

the instrument panel center stack.

See Sections 1 and 3 of your Owner Manual.

Passenger Compartment 

Air Filter

The filter is located in the engine com-

partment below the air inlet grille, near

the passenger-side wiper arm. It traps

most of the pollen from the air that

enters the air conditioning module. 

See your Owner Manual for Scheduled

Maintenance and replacement 

instructions.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist

(if equipped)

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)

detects objects up to 5 feet (1.5 m)

behind the vehicle when the shift lever 

is in the Reverse position and vehicle

speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h).

Three color-coded lights inside the 

vehicle, above the rear window, provide

distance and system information to the

driver. See your Owner Manual for full

operation details.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Antilock Brake System 

(if equipped)

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps

to prevent a braking skid. The ABS

warning light illuminates briefly when the

engine is started. Momentary motor or

clicking noises and slight brake pedal

movement is normal as the system

checks itself at startup.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

Note:

It is recommended that children

not be placed in the front passenger

seat, even with the Passenger Sensing

System. All children should be secured

in a rear seat, including an infant riding

in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding

in a forward-facing child seat and an

older child riding in a booster seat.

Traction Control System (TCS)

(if equipped)

The Traction Control System (TCS) 

limits wheelspin. TCS activates when it

senses one or both front wheels spin-

ning or losing traction. Then the system

reduces engine power and may upshift

the transaxle to limit wheelspin. It is nor-

mal to hear or feel the system working.

TCS is always enabled unless you dis-

able it manually to rock the vehicle free

from sand, mud or snow. 

To disable TCS, press the TCS button

on the instrument panel. The TCS warn-

ing light will come on. Press the button

again to turn on TCS.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
