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

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.

Seats and Restraints 1-1

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.
