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.
Index
A good place to look for what you need is the Index in
back of the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of what’s
in the manual, and the page number where you’ll find it.

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 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
don’t, you
or others could be hurt.

You will also find a circle
I
with a slash through it in
this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,’’
“Don’t do this” or “Don’t let
this happen.”

Ill
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 following

Front
Seats
Power Seats
Your vehicle may have this
feature. The power seat
controls are located on the
outboard side of the
front seat cushions. The
horizontal control adjusts
the seat cushion and
the vertical control adjusts
the seatback.
Move the front of the seat control up or down to
adjust the front portion of the cushion.
Lift up or push down on the center of the seat
control to move the entire seat up or down.
To move the seat forward or rearward, slide the

seat control forward or rearward.
Power Lumbar
Your vehicle may have this feature. The driver’s and
passenger’s seatback lumbar support can be adjusted
by moving a control located on the outboard side of
the seat cushions.
To increase or decrease support, hold the control
forward or rearward. 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.
Move the rear of the seat control up or down to
adjust the rear portion of the cushion.

Heated Seats
Your vehicle may have
heated front seats. The
buttons used to control this
feature are located on
the front door armrests.
The engine must be
running for the heated seat
feature to work.
To
heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with
the heated seat symbol. Press the button repeatedly
to cycle through the temperature settings of high,
medium, low and
off. The indicator lights
will
glow to
designate the level
of heat selected: three for high, two
for medium and one for low. The low setting warms
the seatback and cushion until the seat temperature is
near body temperature. The medium and high
settings heat the seatback and seat cushion to a slightly
higher temperature. You will be able
to
feel heat in
about two minutes.
To heat only the seatback, press the button with the
words “BACK
ONLY”.
An indicator light on the seatback
switch will glow to designate that only the seatback is
being heated. Additional presses will cycle through
the heat levels for the seatback only. Press the
horizontal button again to heat the whole seat.
The feature will shut
off automatically when the ignition
is turned
off.

Power
Reclining Seatbacks
The
vertical power seat control described earlier allows
the
seatback to recline.
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. 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.
But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is
moving.

Rear
Seats
Pull
up
on
the loop located where the seat cushion
meets the seatback to fold the seat cushion up and out
of the
way.
This
will
allow the seatback to fold flat
and
increase the cargo area.

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 anyone ride where 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 ext ly dangerous to rid n 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.

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.

or the safety belts!
With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You
get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why
safety belts make such good sense.
Questions and Answers About
Safety
Belts
Q:
Won’t
I
be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident
if
I’m
wearing a safety belt?
A:
You
could
be
-
whether you’re wearing a safety
belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt,
even
if
you’re upside down. And your chance
of being conscious during and after an accident,
so
you
can
unbuckle and get out, is
much
greater
if
you are belted.
Q:
If
my vehicle has air bags, why should
I
have to
wear safety belts?
A:
Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in
most of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so
they work
with
safety belts
-
not instead of them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even
if
you’re in a vehicle that has
air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.

You may be an excellent driver, but

home, why should
I
wear safety belts?
Most accidents occur within
25
miles
(40
km) of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40
mph
(65
km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How
to
Wear Safety Belts Properly
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things
to
know about
safety belts and children. And there are different
rules for smaller children and babies.
If
a child will be
riding in your vehicle, see
Older Children
on
page
1-27
or
lnfants and Young Children
on
page
7-29.
Follow
those rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want
to
know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
