Using this Manual

Read this owner manual from beginning to end to learn

about the vehicle’s features and controls. Pictures

and words work together to explain things.

Index

To quickly locate information about the vehicle use 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.

A box with the word CAUTION is used to tell about

things that could hurt you or others if you were to

ignore the warning.

{ CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt

you or other people.

Cautions tell what the hazard is and what to do to avoid

or reduce the hazard. Read these cautions.

A circle with a slash

through it is a safety

symbol which means

“Do Not,” “Do Not do this”

or “Do Not let this happen.”

iii

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Notices are also used in this manual.

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 the vehicle’s warranty, and it could be costly.

The notice tells 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 which 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.

you want it and release the bar. Try to move the

seat with your body to be sure the seat is locked

in place.

Seat Height Adjuster

Manual Lumbar

If your vehicle has this

feature, the handle is

located on the inboard

side of the seatback.

See Manual Seats

on page 1-2 for more

information.

Turn the handle rearward to decrease lumbar support.

Turn the handle forward to increase lumbar support.

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.

Power Lumbar

If the seats have power lumbar, the controls used to

operate this feature are located on the outboard side

of the seats. See Power Seats on page 1-3 for

using the remote keyless entry transmitter, the front

heated seats will be turned on to the high setting if it is

cold outside. See “Remote Vehicle Start” under Remote

2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps let you

know that the position has been stored.

A second seating and mirror position can be

corresponding to the desired driving position. The

seat and outside mirrors will move to the position

Using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to

enter your vehicle with the remote recall memory feature

on causes automatic seat and mirror adjustment. There is

no adjustment when the position has not been changed

by another seating position or the easy exit feature.

Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 3-74 for

more information.

To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any

time, press one of the power seat controls, memory

buttons, or power mirror buttons.

If something has blocked the driver’s seat while recalling

a memory position, the driver’s seat 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 being recalled,

see your dealer/retailer for service.

Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 3-74.

Reclining Seatbacks

Manual 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.

1-8

{ 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.

In vehicles with seats that have manual reclining

seatbacks, the lever used to operate them is located

on the outboard side of the seat.

To recline the seatback, do the following:

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.

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.

1-9

Power Reclining Seatbacks

In vehicles with seats that have power reclining

seatbacks, the control used to recline them is located

on the outboard side of the seat behind the power seat

control. See Power Seats on page 1-3 for more

information.

• To recline the seatback, tilt the top of the control

rearward.

• To bring the seatback forward, tilt the top of the

control forward.

{ 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.

1-10

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, located on

the head restraint post on

the top of the seatback,

while you push the head

restraint down.

push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is

locked.

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

locked in place.

routed and attached, and are not twisted.

4. Reconnect the center safety belt mini-latch to the

mini-buckle. Do not let it twist.

5. Pull on the safety belt to be sure the mini-latch is

secure.
