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.

Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals
Your vehicle has the memory package.

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 160 and Adjustable Throttle and Brake
Pedal on page 141 for more information.

through the driver’s front speaker to 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 on
page 254 for more information.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls,
memory buttons, power mirror buttons, 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

can be recalled by pressing the exit button.
You will hear a single beep. The driver’s seat
will move back.

from the ignition. See “EASY EXIT SEAT” under
DIC Vehicle Customization on page 254 for
more information.

{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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
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 13.
16
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.
17
Center Seat
Your vehicle may have a front center seat. The
seatback doubles as an armrest and cupholder/
storage area for the driver and passenger when the
center seat is not used. Do not use it as a seating
position when the seatback is folded down.
For information on safety belts for this position,
see Center Front Passenger Position on page 52.
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.
Driver’s Side RSA
Heated Seat Button
Only shown
18
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.
19
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.
