you do this, it will help you learn about the features and
controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find
that pictures and words work together to explain things.

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.
These mean there is something hat 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.”
iii
Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these notices:
Notice:
These mean there is something that could
damage your vehicle.
A notice will 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.
Vehicle Symbols
Your vehicle has components and labels that use
symbols instead of text. Symbols, used on your vehicle,
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 followina

Manual
Seats
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 located under the front
of the manual
seat up to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it
and release the lever.
Try
to move the seat with
your body to make sure the seat is locked into place.

Power
Seats
If
your vehicle has this feature, there will be a control
pad on the outboard side
of your seat.
Raise or lower the rear of the seat by raising or lowering
the rear edge of the control. Move the seat forward or
rearward by moving the whole control toward the front or
the rear of the vehicle.
Moving
the whole control up or down raises or lowers
the whole seat.
Vertical Control: Move the reclining front seatback
forward or rearward by moving the control toward
the front or rear of the vehicle.
Horizontal Control: Raise or lower the front of the seat
by raising or lowering the forward edge of the control.

Heated Seats
If
your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the outboard
side of the front seats.
Reclining Seatbacks
To adjust a manual
seatback, lift the lever on
the outboard side of
the seat.
This feature will quickly heat the lower cushion and
lower back of the driver’s and front passenger’s seats
for added comfort.
Press the lower part of the switch to turn the heater
on
low. Press the upper part of the switch to turn the
heater on high. Put the switch in the center position to
turn the heater
off.
Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want
it. To return the seat to an upright position, pull up
on the lever without pushing on the seatback.
If
your vehicle is equipped with the vertical power seat
control described in
Power
Seats
on
page
1-3,
pressing it rearward allows the seatback to recline.
The passenger’s safety belt must be engaged for the
heated seat feature to work on the passenger’s seat.

But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is
moving.
Sitting
in
a reclined position when your vehicle
is
in
motion can be dangerous. Even
if
you
buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job
when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do
its
job because
it
won’t 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 can’t 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.

Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some models and
adjustable on others. Slide an adjustable head restraint
up or down
so that the top
of
the restraint is closest
to the top of your head. This position reduces the
chance
of
a
neck injury in a crash.

Rear Seats
Rear Seat Operation
Your vehicle has folding rear seatbacks which allows for
more cargo space.
To raise the seatbacks, lift up the seatbacks and push
until they lock in the upright position. Push and pull
on the seatbacks to check that the latches have locked
in the upright position.
If
they haven't, see your
dealer for service.
The rear seat release handles are located on the rear of
the seatbacks. Push back on the seatbacks as you
pull up on the handles. The head restraint will
automatically fold out of the way when the seatback is
folded down.
I
'.
To return the head restraints to the upright position,
reach behind the seats and pull the head restraint
up until it locks into position.
1
-8
On two-door models with an inside mounted spare tire,
the driver’s side rear seat head restraint
must
be
lifted and held upright as the seatback is raised.
Otherwise, the head restraint will hit the spare tire and
prevent the seatback from properly latching.
Push and pull
on
the head restraints
to
check that they
have locked in the upright position.
If
they haven’t,
see your dealer for service.
If the seatback isn’t locked,
it
could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback
to
be sure
it
is
locked.
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted won’t 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.

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.
Don’t let ar., me ride
...
Jere he or she can’t
wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a
crash and you’re 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.
It
is
extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In
a
collision, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do
not
allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle
that
is
not equipped with seats and safety
belts. Be sure everyone
in
your vehicle is in a
seat and using a safety belt properly.
1-10
Your vehicle has a light
that comes on as a
reminder to buckle up. See
Safety Belt Reminder
Light
on
page
3-27.
In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law
says to wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They work.
You never know
if
you’ll be in a crash.
If
you do have a
crash, you don’t know
if
it will be a bad one.
A
few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious that even buckled up, a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in between.
In
many of them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt
or killed.
After more than
30
years of safety belts in vehicles, the
facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
...
a lot!
Why Safety Belts
Work
When you ride
in
or on anything, you go as fast as
it goes.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just a seat on
wheels.
