How to Use This Manual
Many people read the owner manual from
beginning to end when they first receive their new
vehicle. If this is done, it can help you learn
about the features and controls for the vehicle.
Pictures and words work together in the
owner manual to explain things.
Index
A good place to quickly locate information about
the vehicle is 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.
Safety Warnings and Symbols
There are a number of safety cautions in this
book. We use a box and the word CAUTION to
tell 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 do not, you or others could be hurt.
You will also find a
circle with a slash
through it in this book.
This safety symbol
means “Do Not,”
“Do Not do this” or
“Do Not let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will find these notices:
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 your vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell 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.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
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.
If you need help figuring out a specific name of a
component, gage, or indicator, reference the
following topics:

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.
Lift the bar located under the front of the seat to
unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it
and release the bar. Try to move the seat with your
body to be sure the seat is locked in place.
9
Driver Seat Height Adjuster
If your vehicle has a manual driver seat height
adjuster, it is located on the outboard side of the
seat near the front of the seat cushion. To raise
the seat, move the lever upward repeatedly
until the seat is at the desired height. To lower the
seat, move the lever downward repeatedly until
the seat is at the desired height.
Power Seat
If the vehicle has a power seat, the control used to
operate it is located on the outboard side of the
driver’s seat. To adjust the seat do any of the
following:
Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding
the control forward or rearward.
Raise or lower the front part of the seat cushion
by moving the front of the control up or down.
Raise or lower the rear part of the seat cushion
by moving the rear of the control up or down.
10
Manual Lumbar
If your vehicle has this
feature, the knob is
located on the front of
the driver seat lower
cushion on the
inboard side.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the lumbar support.
Heated Seats
Your vehicle may
have heated seats.
The switches are
located below the
climate control system
and forward of the
shift lever.
Press 1 to warm the seat. Press 2 for a higher
temperature setting. To turn this feature off, move
the switch to the center position.
11
Manual Reclining Seatbacks
{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.
{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.
12
To recline the seatback on the driver’s seat,
lift the lever on the rear outboard side of the seat
and move the seatback to the desired position.
Then release the lever to lock the seatback
in place.
To recline the seatback on the front passenger’s
seat, lift the lever, located on the outboard side
of the seat, up fully to disengage the seatback.
Then move the seatback to the desired position.
Release the lever to lock the seatback in place.
13
{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even if you buckle up, your safety
beltscannot 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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
14
CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.
Head Restraints
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.
15
Pull the head restraint
up to raise it. To lower
the head restraint,
press the button,
located on the top of the
seatback, and push
the restraint down.
Passenger Folding Seatback
The front passenger’s seatback folds flat.
{CAUTION:
If you fold the seatback forward to carry
longer objects, such as skis, be sure any
such cargo is not near an airbag. In a
crash, an inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This could cause
severe injury or even death. Secure objects
away from the area in which an airbag
would inflate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags? on page 78 and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 264.
16
{CAUTION:
Things you put on this seatback can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash. Remove or secure
all items before driving.
To fold the seatback, do the following:
1. Lower the head restraint all the way.
2. Lift the bar under the front of the seat to
unlock it. Slide the seat as far back as it
will go and release the bar. Try to move the
seat back and forth to make sure it is
locked into place.
3. Lift the recliner lever, located on the outboard
side of the seat, up fully and fold the seatback
forward until it disengages.
17
4. Continue to fold the seat forward until it locks
in the folded position.
5. Pull up on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
To raise the seatback, do the following:
1. Lift the recliner lever, located on the outboard
side of the seat, up fully and push up on the
seatback.
2. Continue raising the seatback until the
seatback re-engages.
{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.
3. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it
is locked in place.
The recliner lever is also used to recline the
seatback while a passenger is seated. See Manual
Reclining Seatbacks on page 12.
18
Rear Seats
Split Folding Rear Seat
The rear split bench seatbacks have three
available positions — folded forward, upright, or
partially reclined. Each of the rear seatbacks
can be moved to any of the three positions
independent of the other seatback position.
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed,
not properly attached, or twisted will not
provide the protection needed in a crash.
The person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the rear
seatback, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and
attached, and are not twisted.
Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause damage to the
seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle
the safety belts and return them to their normal
stowed position before folding a rear seat.
Prior to lowering the seatback, ensure all three of
the seatbelts are unbuckled and the front seats
are not reclined.
{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.
19
Lift the lever on the upper back corner of the
seatback to move it to the desired position and
then release it. Push and pull on the seatback to
be sure it is locked in place.
Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use
safety belts properly. It also tells you some things
you should not do with safety belts.
{CAUTION:
Do not let anyone ride where he or she
cannot wear a safety belt properly. If you
are in a crash and you are not wearing a
safety belt, your injuries can be much
worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be
seriously injured or killed. In the same
crash, you might not be, if you are
buckled up. Always fasten your safety
belt, and check that your passengers’
belts are fastened properly too.
