Index
To quickly locate information about
the vehicle use the Index in the
back of the manual. It is an
alphabetical list of what is in the
manual and the page number where
it can be found.
Cautions and Notices
There are a number of safety
cautions in this book. A box with the
word CAUTION is used to tell
about things that could cause injury
if the warning is ignored.
{CAUTION
These mean there is something
that could hurt you or other
people.
Cautions tell what the hazard is and
what to do to avoid or reduce the
hazard. Read these cautions.
A circle with a slash through it is a
safety symbol which means “Do
Not,” “Do Not do this” or “Do Not let
this happen.”
Notices are also used in this
manual.
Notice: These mean there is
something that could damage
your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that
can damage the vehicle. Many times,
this damage would not be covered by
the vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. The notice tells what to do
to help avoid the damage.
There are also warning labels on
the vehicle which use the same
words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Other manuals may use CAUTION
and NOTICE warnings in different
colors or in different words.
Vehicle Symbols
The vehicle has components and
labels that use symbols instead
of text. Symbols are shown along
with the text describing the operation
or information relating to a specific
component, control, message,
gage, or indicator.

Front Seats
Manual Seats
{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 do not want
to. Adjust the driver’s seat only
when the vehicle is not moving.
To move a manual seat forward or
rearward:
1. Lift the bar to unlock the seat.
2. Slide the seat to the desired
position and release the bar.
Try to move the seat with your body
to be sure the seat is locked in place.
Seat Height Adjuster
To raise and lower the manual
seat, move the lever up or down
repeatedly until the seat is at
the desired height.
1-2 Seats and Restraints
Lumbar Seat Adjustment
On seats with this feature, turn the
knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the
lumbar support.
Reclining Seatbacks
{CAUTION
You can lose control of the
vehicle if you try to adjust
the seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement
could startle and confuse you,
or make you push a pedal when
you do not want to. Adjust the
driver’s seat only when the
vehicle is not moving.
{CAUTION
Sitting in a reclined position
when your vehicle is in motion
can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle up, your safety belts
cannot do their job when you
are reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its
job because it will not be against
your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck
or other injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job
either. In a crash, the belt could
go up over your abdomen. The
belt forces would be there, not
at your pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.
Seats and Restraints 1-3
To adjust a manual reclining
seatback, turn the knob. Do not lean
on the seatback while adjusting it.
Seatback Latches
(Three Door Model)
For easy entry/exit to the rear seats
on three door models:
1. Lift the lever, and tilt the seatback
forward.
2. Lower the lever and move the
entire seat completely forward.
{CAUTION
If the seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting
there. Always push and pull
on the seatback to be sure it
is locked.
To return the seat to the upright
position:
1. Remove any objects in front of or
behind the seat.
2. Move the entire seat rearward.
3. Lift the lever located on the
outboard side of the seat
and return the seatback to
the upright position.
4. Lower the lever then push and
pull on the seatback to be sure
it is locked in place.
1-4 Seats and Restraints
Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front seats have
adjustable head restraints.
{CAUTION
With head restraints that are
not installed and adjusted
properly, there is a greater
chance that occupants will
suffer a neck/spinal injury
in a crash. Do not drive until
the head restraints for all
occupants are installed and
adjusted properly.
Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of the restraint is at the
same height as the top of the
occupant’s head.
This position reduces the chance of
a neck injury in a crash.
To adjust the head restraint, press
the button located on the side of the
head restraint. Pull up or push down
on the restraint to adjust it.
Try to move the head restraint after
the button is released to make
sure that it is locked in place.
The vehicle’s front seat head
restraints are not designed to
be removed.
Seats and Restraints 1-5
Active Head Restraint System
The vehicle has an active head
restraint system in the front seating
positions.
These automatically tilt forward to
reduce the risk of neck injury if
the vehicle is hit from behind.
Rear Seat Headrests
The vehicle has headrests in all
seating positions of the rear seats.
The headrests in the rear outboard
positions adjust like the front
seat head restraints.
To adjust the headrest in the rear
seat center position, pull up to
raise it.
To lower the headrest, press the
buttons located on the top of
the seatback and push the head
rest down.
The vehicle’s rear seat headrests
are not designed to be removed.
Heated Seats
On vehicles with heated front seats,
the controls for each seat are located
on the center of the instrument panel.
To operate the heated seats the
ignition must be on.
M(Heated Seat): Press this
button to turn on the heated seat.
The light on the button will come on
to indicate that the feature is working.
Press the button to cycle through
the temperature settings of high,
medium, and low and to turn the
heat to the seat off. The number of
indicator lights above the button will
show the level of heat selected: three
for high, two for medium, and one
for low.
