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.

more information.

Keep in mind that as your seating position

changes, as it may during long trips, so should the

position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat

as needed.

10

Heated Seats

The seats have the

heated seat feature,

the buttons used

to control this feature

are located on the front

doors near the door

handle.

I(Heated Seatback): Press this button to turn

on the heated seatback.

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

seatback off. Indicator lights below the button show

the level of heat selected: three for high, two for

medium, and one for low.

J(Heated Seat and Seatback): Press this

button to turn on the heated seat and seatback.

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.

Indicator lights above the button will show the level

of heat selected: three for high, two for medium,

and one for low.

The heated seats will be canceled ten seconds

after the ignition is turned off. If you want to

use the heated seat feature after you restart your

vehicle, you will need to press the appropriate

heated seat or seatback button again.

11

Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals

Your vehicle has the memory package.

The controls for this

feature are located on

the driver’s door

panel, and are used to

program and recall

memory settings for the

driver’s seat, outside

mirrors, and the

adjustable throttle and

brake pedal feature

if your vehicle has it.

To save your positions in memory, do the

following:

1. Adjust the driver’s seat, including the seatback

recliner and lumbar, both outside mirrors, and

the throttle and brake pedals to a comfortable

position.

See Outside Power Foldaway Mirrors on

page 161 and Adjustable Throttle and Brake

Pedal on page 143 for more information.

Not all mirrors will have the ability to save and

recall the mirror positions.

2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps let

you know that the position has been stored.

A second seating, mirror, and throttle and brake

pedal position can be programmed by repeating

the above steps and pressing button 2.

To recall the memory positions, the vehicle

must be in PARK (P). Press and release either

button 1 or button 2 corresponding to the desired

driving position. The seat, outside mirrors, and

adjustable throttle and brake pedals will move to

the position previously stored. You will hear a

single beep.

If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to

enter your vehicle and the remote recall memory

feature is on, automatic seat, mirror, and

adjustable pedal movement will occur. See

“MEMORY SEAT RECALL” under DIC Vehicle

Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 262 for

more information.

12

To stop recall movement of the memory feature at

any time, press one of the power seat controls,

memory buttons, power mirror buttons, or

adjustable pedal switch.

If something has blocked the driver’s seat and/or

the adjustable pedals while recalling a memory

position, the driver’s seat and/or the adjustable

pedals recall may stop working. If this happens,

press the appropriate control for the area that

is not recalling for two seconds, after the

obstruction is removed. Then try recalling the

memory position again by pressing the appropriate

memory button. If the memory position is still

not recalling, see your dealer for service.

Easy Exit Seat

The control for this feature is located on the

driver’s door panel between buttons 1 and 2.

With the vehicle in PARK (P), the exit position can

be recalled by pressing the exit button. You will

hear a single beep. The driver’s seat will

move back.

If the easy exit seat feature is on in the Driver

Information Center (DIC), automatic seat

movement will occur when the key is removed

from the ignition. See “EASY EXIT SEAT” under

DIC Vehicle Customization (With DIC Buttons)

on page 262 for more information.

Further programming for the memory seat feature

can be done using the DIC. You can select or

not select the following:

• The automatic easy exit seat feature

• The remote memory seat recall feature

For programming information, see DIC Vehicle

Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 262.

13

Power Reclining Seatbacks

The controls for the power reclining seatback are

located on the outboard side of the front seats

behind the power seat control.

• To recline the seatback, tilt the top of the

control rearward.

• To bring the seatback forward, tilt the top of

the control forward.

Recline, and Power Lumbar shown

{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. 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.

Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is

moving.

Your vehicle has a memory function which allows

seat settings to be saved and recalled. See

Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 12.

15

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.

Pull the head restraint

up to raise it. To lower

the head restraint,

press the release

button (A), located on

the top of the seatback,

while you push the

head restraint down.

The front seats may have head restraints that also

tilt forward and rearward.

To tilt the head restraint, grasp the top of the

restraint while pressing the button (B), located on

the right hand side of the head restraint, and

move it forward or rearward until the desired

locking position is reached. Try to move the head

restraint after the button is released to make

sure that it is locked in place.

The second row seats may have head restraints

that can be adjusted up and down, but they do

not tilt.

16

Rear Seats

Heated Seats

The rear seats have the

heated seat feature,

the buttons used

to control this feature

are located on the

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)

panel.

M (Heated Seat): To heat the seat cushion,

press the button with the heated seat symbol.

A heated seat symbol will be shown in the RSA

display to indicate that the feature is on. Press the

button to cycle through the temperature settings

of high, medium, and low, and to turn it off.

Indicator bars next to the symbol will designate

the level of heat selected: three for high,

two for medium, and one for low.

The heated seats will be canceled ten seconds

after the ignition is turned off. If the vehicle

is restarted, the heated seat button will need to

be pressed again to restart the feature.

60/40 Split Bench Seat

(Second Row)

If your vehicle has a 60/40 split bench, the seat(s)

can be folded for additional cargo space or

folded and tumbled for easy entry and exit to the

third row seats, if your vehicle has them. These

seats will have either the manual fold and tumble

feature or the automatic seat release fold and

tumble feature.

Manual Fold and Tumble Feature

Folding and Tumbling the Seat(s)

To fold and tumble the seat, do the following:

1. Make sure that there is nothing under, in front

of, or on the seat.

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.

2. Lift the lever, located on the outboard side of

the seat, to release the seatback.

18

The seatback will fold forward automatically.

Leaving the seatback in this position creates a

ﬂat load ﬂoor.

If the seatback cannot fold ﬂat, try moving

the front seat forward and/or put the front

seatback in the upright position.

3. Lift the same lever

again to release the

rear of the seat

from the ﬂoor. The

seat will tumble

forward.

19

Returning the Seat(s) to the Sitting

Position

To return the seat to the sitting position, do the

following:

1. Pull the seat down until it latches to the ﬂoor.

The seatback cannot be raised if the seat is

not latched to the ﬂoor.

{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.

2. Lift the seatback and push it rearward. Push

and pull on the seatback to make sure it is

locked.

{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.

3. Make sure the safety belt in the center

seating position is not caught between the

two seats and is not twisted.
