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.”

4

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:

• Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1

• Features and Controls in Section 2

• Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3

• Climate Controls in Section 3

Front Seats

Manual Seats

Use the lever located on

the front of the seat to

adjust the seat

forward or rearward.

Pull up on the lever to

unlock the seat.

Slide the seat to where

you want it and

release the lever.

{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 make sure the seat is locked into place, try to

move the seat back and forth with your body.

9

Power Seats

If the vehicle has power

seats, the controls used

to operate them are

located on the outboard

side of the seats.

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.

Heated Seats

Your vehicle may have this feature. If it does, the

heated seat buttons are located on the climate

control panel.

This feature will heat the lower cushions of the

driver’s and front passenger’s seats.

Press this button once

to turn the heated seat

on to the high setting.

Both indicator lights next to the heated seat

symbol will be lit to indicate that it is on the high

setting. Press the button a second time to go to the

low setting. One indicator will be lit. Press the

button a third time to turn the heated seat off.

This feature will turn off automatically when

the ignition is turned off.

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.

Your seats have manual reclining seatbacks. The

lever used to operate them is located on the

outboard side of the seats.

1. Lift the recline lever.

2. Move the seatback to the desired position,

then release the lever to lock the seatback

in place.

3. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it

is locked.

11

To return the seatback to an upright position, do

the following:

1. Lift the lever fully without applying pressure to

the seatback and the seatback will return to

the upright position.

2. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it

is locked.

{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.

Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is

moving.

12

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.

The height of the head restraints can be adjusted

on the ﬁrst and second row seats. Pull the

head restraint up or push it down to adjust it.

The head restraints on the third row seat cannot

be adjusted.

Rear Seats

Rear Seat Operation

The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and

straps used to adjust, remove, and reinstall

the seats. By using the levers and straps in the

correct order, you can easily remove the seats

from the vehicle. If your vehicle has second row

captain chairs with airbags, the seats cannot

be removed.

When reinstalling the seats, make sure the seats

are in the proper positions.

If your vehicle has a second row center console, it

can be removed. See Second Row Center

Console on page 183. Do not put a seat in the

center position because the safety belt cannot be

worn properly in this position. See Safety Belts:

They Are for Everyone on page 32.

Bucket Seats

Your vehicle may have bucket seats in the second

row. These seats can be adjusted several

different ways.

13

Fold and Tumble Feature

{CAUTION:

Using the third row seating position while

the second row is folded, or folded and

tumbled, could cause injury in a sudden

stop or crash. Be sure to return the seat

to the passenger seating position. Push

and pull on the seat to make sure it is

locked into place.

The second row bucket seats can be folded and

tumbled forward. Use this feature for exiting

and entering third row seats, if the vehicle

has them.

1. Make sure the adjustable head restraints are

in the fully lowered position.

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. Fold the seatback

ﬂat on the seat.

You can do this by either pulling on the nylon

seatback.

3. Slide the seat all the way back in this position.

14

4. Release the rear set

of seat hooks from

the ﬂoor pins by

pulling the

nylon strap, located

the seat forward.

To return the seat to the original position, do the

following:

1. Align the seat so that the rear hooks on the

seat are over the rear ﬂoor pins. Push down

ﬁrmly on the rear of the seat so that the

rear hooks attach to the rear ﬂoor pins.

2. Try to raise the seat to check that it is locked

to the ﬂoor.

3. Pull the nylon strap, located on the rear right

hand side of the seat, or lift the recline lever,

located on the front right hand side of the

seatback, to raise the seatback to the upright

position.

{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.

4. Push and pull on the seatback to check that it

is locked.

One of the bucket seats may be equipped with a

built-in child restraint. See Built-In Child

Restraint on page 85.

15

Adjusting the Bucket Seats Forward

and Rearward

There are two adjustment levers on the second

row bucket seats that enable them to move

forward or rearward.

One is located below the front of the seat.

The other lever is

located on the rear of

the seat.

To adjust the second row bucket seats forward or

rearward, do the following:

1. Lift up either lever and slide the seat forward

or rearward.

2. Release the lever when the seat is in the

desired position.

3. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is

locked.

16

Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks

The seatback on a bucket seat can either

be folded forward or reclined using the nylon strap

or the recline lever.

To fold the seatback forward, do the following:

1. Pull the nylon strap, located on the rear right

hand side of the seat, or lift the recline lever,

located on the front right hand side of the

seatback to release the seatback.

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. Fold the seatback 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 raise the seatback to the upright position from

a reclined position, do the following:

1. Pull the nylon strap or lift the recline lever

while raising the seatback until it locks to

the upright position.

2. Push and pull on the seatback to check that it

is locked.

3. Let go of the strap or lever.

Removing the Bucket Seats

To remove the bucket seats, do the following:

2. Fold the seatback ﬂat on the seat, by either

pulling on the nylon strap, located on the rear

right hand side of the seat, or by lifting the

recline lever, located on the front right

4. Release the rear set of hooks from the ﬂoor

pins by pulling the nylon strap, located at the

base of the seat. Use the strap to guide

the seat forward.

18

5. To release the front seat hooks from the ﬂoor

pins, squeeze the angled bar, located beneath

the seat toward the straight crossbar.

6. Remove the seat by rocking it slightly forward,

then toward the rear of the vehicle while

pulling it out. This should be done in

one motion.

Reinstalling the Bucket Seats

{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 installing the seat,

always check to be sure that the safety

belts are properly routed and attached,

and are not twisted.

Do not install the seat facing the rear of the

vehicle, as it will not lock into place. If more

storage room is needed behind the seat, slide the

seat forward.

Make sure the seat is in the full rear position

before beginning this procedure.

19

To reinstall the bucket seats, do the following:

1. With the seat folded, squeeze the angled bar

beneath the seat toward the straight crossbar,

while placing the front hooks of the seat

into the front two ﬂoor pins.

2. Make sure the seat

is angled so that the

front seat hooks

clear the ﬂoor pins.

If the front hooks

are not attached

correctly, the seat’s

rear hooks will

not attach to the rear

set of ﬂoor pins.

If the front hooks are not attaching correctly,

check that the seat is in the full rear position.

3. Firmly push the rear seat hooks into the rear

ﬂoor pins by pushing down the rear of

the seat.
