How
to
Use
This
Manual
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to
end
when they
first receive their new vehicle. This 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.

Safety
Warnings
and
Symbols
You will find a number
of
safety cautions in this book. We use a box with
gray background and the word CAUTION to tell you about things that could
hurt you if you were
to
ignore the warning.
In
the gray 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.’’

up
and down.
Manual
Front
Seat
(Except Easy Entry)
1-1
Manual Front Seat (Easy Entry Only)

Manual Lumbar Adjustment
If

feature, there will be a
knob on the outside of
the driver and
passenger bucket
seats.
Turn the top of the
knob forward to
increase lumbar
support and or
rearward to decrease
lumbar support.
1-2
Power Driver’s Seat
If you have this feature, there will be a control pad on the front
of
your
driver’s seat.
The left control makes
the rear of the seat
go
up and down.
The right control
makes the front of the
seat
go
up and down.
The center control

Press and hold the

1-4
Front Seatback Latches (2-Door Models)
The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the back seat. Your
seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a sudden stop.
Then it will will lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
That’s if your vehicle is parked going down a fairly steep hill.
To
fold a front
seatback forward,
push the seatback
toward the rear as you
lift this latch. Then the
seatback will fold
forward. The latch

vehicle makes it easy
to get in and out of the

original position. Then move the seat rearward until it locks.
To
get out, again tilt the seatback fully forward.
Head Restraints
Head restraints
are
fixed
on
some
models and adjustable on others. Slide an
adjustable head restraint up
or
down
so
that the top of the restraint is closest
to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in
a
crash.
The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also.
1-6
Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See
“Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.)
In many 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
25
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

Put someone on it.
Get it up to speed.
Then stop the vehicle.
The rider doesn't stop.
The person keeps
going until stopped
by
something.
In a
real vehicle, it
could be the

or the safety belts!
c
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.

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,

you
can
unbuckle and get out, is
much
greater if you
are
belted.
