How
to
Use
thi- Mar::,al
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning
to end when they first receive their new vehicle.
If
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 quickly.
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
with a slash through it in
this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,’’
“Don’t do this” or “Don’t
let
this happen.”
Vehicle Damage
Warnings
Also,
in
this
book
you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there
is
something that could
damage
your
vehicle.
iv
In
the
notice
area,
we 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
Merent colors or
in
different words.
You’ll
also see warning labels on your vehicle. They
use
the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

This

tells
you
about the
power
seats
--
how
to
adjust them, and also about reclining front seatbacks,
lumbar adjustments, heated seats and head restraints.
Power
Seats
The power seat
controls are located on
the outboard side
of
the front seat cushion.
Power
Lumbar
Control
(If
Equipped)
I
The
lumbar control
is
located
on
the
outboard side
of
each
front seat. Use the
power seat control
first to get the proper
position. Then
proceed with the
lumbar adjustment.
To
reshape the lower seatback, press the lumbar control
forward to increase support and rearward
to
decrease
support. Press the control up or down to raise or lower
the support mechanism.
Move the front
of
the control up or down to adjust Keep in mind, that as your seating position changes, as it

same time to move the entire seat up or down.
lumbar support. Adjust the seat
as
needed.
To
move the whole seat forward or backward, slide
the control in the direction
of
the
center arrow.
A
second &or, seating and column position may be
programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button
2.
Each time a memory button is pressed, a single
beep will sound through the radio. Each time button
1
or
2
is pressed, the memory positions will
be
recalled. At the
factory, the exit position is preset with the steering wheel
full
up and the seat
full
back. However,
two
personalized
exit positions can
be
set by first recalling the driving
position (Driver
“1”
or
“2”),
positioning the wheel and
seat in the desired exit positions and then pressing the
MEMORY
SET
and, within five seconds, pressing the
EXIT
button. The exit position for
either
previously set
driver can
be
recalled by pressing the
EXIT
button.
Heated Seat (Option)
This option is
only
available if your vehicle is equipped
with the power lumbar control feature.
The front seat controls are
located in the center
console. The rear seat
controls, for the outboard
positions only, are located
on the rear door (note that
only the outboard positions
in the rear seats are heated).
Push
the button once
for
a
high setting,
twice
for
a
low
setting, and a third time to turn
off
the heated seat. The
LO
setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat
approximates body temperature. The
HI
setting heats the
seat to a slightly higher temperature.
The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is
turned on. The heating elements in the seats
automatically
turn
off
when the vehicle’s ignition is
turned off.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
The power controls
are located on the
outboard side
of
each
front seat. Press the
top
of the control
forward or rearward
to adjust the seatback
angle. Push up or
down to adjust the
headrest and
shoulder belt.
But
don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your
vehicle
is
moving.
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.
1-5
Head
Restraints
Use
this switch to move
a
front head restraint
up
or down.
Lift
up
on
the switch
to
move the head restraint up.
Press
down
on
the switch to move
the head
restraint
down.
The
top
of
the head restraint should
be
closest
to
the top
of
your
ears.
This
position helps reduce the
chance
of
a neck injury in
a
crash. When
you
move a
front seat head restraint up or down, the shoulder belt
height changes. The head restraints tilt forward and
rearward also.
Rear seat head restraints tilt forward and rearward.
1-6
Safety Belts: They’re 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.
And
it
explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR), or
air
bag system.
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.
~~
L
It
is
extremely dangerous to ride in
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.
Your vehicle has a light that
comes
on
as a reminder to
buckle
up.
(See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light”
in
,
the
Index.)
1-7
In
most states and 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.
A few crashes
are
mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in between. In many of them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly
hurt
or
killed.
After more than
30
years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
.
..
a lot!
Why
Safety
Belts
Work
When
you
ride
in
or
on
anything, you
go
as fast
as
it goes.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just
a
seat
on wheels.
