How to Use this Manual

Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you

controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find

that pictures and words work together to explain

things quickly.

back of the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of what’s in

Safety Warnings and Symbols

You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.

We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you

about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore

the warning.

CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt

you or other people.

In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then

we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the

hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don’t, you or

others could be hurt.

You will also find a circle

with a slash through it in

this book. This safety

symbol means “Don’t,”

“Don’t do this” or “Don’t

let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Also, in this book you will find these notices:

NOTICE:

These mean there is something that could

damage your vehicle.

In the notice area, we tell you about something that can

damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would

not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.

But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid

the damage.

When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION

and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in

different words.

You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use

the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

Seats and Seat Controls

This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust

them and also about reclining front seatbacks, seatback

latches and the folding rear seatback.

Manual Front Seat

CAUTION:

You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to

adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is

moving. The sudden movement could startle and

confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you

don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when

the vehicle is not moving.

Move the lever under the passenger’s front seat to

unlock it.

Slide the seat to where you want it. Then release the

lever and try to move the seat with your body to make

sure the seat is locked into place. Be sure the lever

returns to its original position after moving the seat.

under the left front of the seat. Slide the seat to where you

want it. Then release the lever and try to move the seat

front of the seat and lean forward or backward.

6-Way Power Seat (If Equipped)

6-Way Power Seat with Lumbar/Lateral

Control (AQ9) (If Equipped)

This switch is designed

to imitate the movements

of your seat cushion. It is

located on the left side of

the driver’s or the right

side of the passenger’s

seat cushion.

To move the seat forward or rearward, push the switch

forward or rearward. To raise or lower the seat, push the

switch up or down. To raise or lower the front portion of

your seat, push the front of the switch up or down. To

raise or lower the rear portion of your seat, push the rear

of the switch up or down.

In addition to the

power seat control

there are two other

switches that help

you change the shape

of your seat.

There is one lumbar support (the front switch) for the

lower back. There is also a side bolster switch (the rear

switch) that adjusts the sides of the seat around you to

give you lateral support.

For lumbar support, push the front switch down to

inflate and up to deflate.

For lateral support, push the rear switch down to inflate

and up to deflate.
