How to Use This Manual

Many people read the owner manual from

beginning to end when they ﬁrst receive their new

vehicle. If this is done, it can help you learn

about the features and controls for the vehicle.

Pictures and words work together in the

owner manual to explain things.

Index

A good place to quickly locate information about

the vehicle is 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. 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.”

4

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.

If you need help ﬁguring out a speciﬁc name of a

component, gage, or indicator, reference the

following topics:

• Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1

• Features and Controls in Section 2

• Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3

• Climate Controls in Section 3

• Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators in

Front Seats

Manual Seats

{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.

Your vehicle may have manual seats. To adjust the

seat, lift the bar under the front of the seat to unlock

it. Slide the seat to where you want it and release

the bar. Try to move the seat back and forth with

your body to be sure the seat is locked in place.

9

Power Seats

If the vehicle has power seats, the controls used

to operate them are located on the outboard

side of the seats.

• Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding

the horizontal control forward or rearward.

• Raise or lower the front part of the seat

cushion by moving the front of the horizontal

control up or down.

• Raise or lower the rear part of the seat

cushion by moving the rear of the horizontal

control up or down.

• Raise or lower the entire seat by moving the

entire horizontal control up or down.

The vertical control is used for reclining your

seatback. See “Power Reclining Seatbacks” under

Reclining Seatbacks on page 14 for more

information.

Power Lumbar

Your vehicle may have

this feature. The driver’s

and passenger’s

seatback lumbar support

can be adjusted by

moving the control

located on the outboard

side of the seat

cushions.

10

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.

Heated Seats

Your vehicle may have

heated front seats. The

controls are located

on the driver’s and

passenger’s doors,

near the door handle.

I(Heated Seatback): Press this button to turn

on the heated seatback.

The light on the button will come on to indicate

that the feature is working. Press the button

to cycle through the temperature settings of high,

medium, and low and to turn the heat to the

seatback off. Indicator lights next to the button

show the level of heat selected: three for high,

two for medium, and one for low.

J(Heated Seat and Seatback): Press this

button to turn on the heated seat and seatback.

The light on the button will come on to indicate that

the feature is working. Press the button to cycle

through the temperature settings of high, medium,

and low and to turn the heat to the seat off.

Indicator lights next to the button will show 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 you want to

use the heated seat feature after you restart your

vehicle, you will need to press the appropriate

heated seat or seatback button again.

11

Memory Seat and Mirrors

If your vehicle has the memory feature, you can

program and recall memory settings for the driver’s

seating and outside rearview mirror driving

positions for up to two drivers. If your vehicle has

the adjustable throttle and brake pedal feature,

you can also program and recall memory settings

for the throttle and brake pedal driving positions.

The buttons for this feature are located on the

driver’s door armrest.

Use the following steps to program the buttons:

1. Adjust the driver’s seat including the seatback

recliner, both outside mirrors, and the throttle

and brake pedals. See Outside Power

Heated Mirrors on page 137 and Adjustable

Throttle and Brake Pedal on page 120

for more information.

2. Press and hold button 1 for at least

three seconds.

Two beeps will sound to conﬁrm that the seat

and mirror positions have been saved.

3. Repeat the procedure for a second driver

using button 2.

The vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall the

stored driving positions.

Press one of the numbered memory buttons to

recall the stored setting. Each time a memory

button is pressed, a single beep will sound.

A chime will sound and the setting will not be

recalled if you press button 1 or 2 when the vehicle

is not in PARK (P).

If you would like the stored driving positions to be

recalled when unlocking your vehicle with the

remote keyless entry transmitter or when you place

the key in the ignition, see DIC Vehicle

Customization on page 231.

To stop recall movement of the memory feature at

any time, press one of the power seat or mirror

controls.

12

Two personalized exit positions can also be

programmed. Use the following steps to program

exit positions:

1. Press memory seat button 1 or the button with

the unlock symbol on the remote keyless

entry transmitter with the number 1 on

the back to recall the driving position.

2. Adjust the driver’s seat to the desired exit

position.

3. Press and hold the exit button located above

buttons 1 and 2 on the driver’s door armrest

for at least three seconds.

Two beeps will sound to conﬁrm that the exit

position has been saved.

4. Repeat the procedure for a second driver

using memory seat button 2 or the remote

keyless entry transmitter with the number 2 on

the back.

To recall the stored exit positions, press and

release the exit button. One beep will sound, and

the seat will move to the previously stored exit

position for the currently identiﬁed driver. If an exit

position has not been stored for this driver, the

seat will move all the way back. The position of the

outside mirrors is not stored or recalled for the

exit position.

The vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall the exit

positions.

A chime will sound and the exit setting will not be

recalled if you press the exit button when the

vehicle is not in PARK (P).

If you would like your stored exit position to be

recalled when unlocking the vehicle with the

remote keyless entry transmitter or when the

ignition is turned off and the driver’s door is

opened, see DIC Vehicle Customization on

page 231.

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.

{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.

If your front passenger’s seat has a manual

reclining seatback, the lever used to operate it 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.

14

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.

Power Reclining Seatbacks

If your seats have power reclining seatbacks, use

the vertical power seat control located on the

outboard side of each seat.

• To recline the seatback, press the control

toward the rear of the vehicle.

• To raise the seatback, press the control

toward the front of the vehicle.

15

{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. 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.

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.

The height of the front

seat head restraints can

be adjusted. Pull the

restraint up to raise it.

To lower it, press

the button, located on

the top of the seatback,

and push the head

restraint down.

The front seat head restraints can also tilt forward

and rearward. The second row seat head rests

do not tilt.

The height of the second row seat outboard head

rests and the third row seat head rests, if the

vehicle has them, can be adjusted. Pull these head

rests up or push them down for adjustment.

The second row seat may have a head rest in the

center position.

17

If the vehicle has third row seats, the head rests

adjust like the front seat head restraints.

The third row seat head rests can be removed

from the seatback. To do this, press the button,

located on the top of the seatback, and pull them

out from the seatback. Store the head rest,

front side facing up, in the compartment behind

the third row, by inserting the head rest posts into

the slots in the storage area.

Rear Seats

Rear Seat Operation

Adjusting the Second Row Seat

The second row seat can be adjusted forward or

rearward. Pull up on the lever under the seat

cushion and slide the seat with your body. Release

the lever and try to move the seat forward and

rearward to be sure it is locked into place.

18

Entering or Exiting the Third Row Seat

{CAUTION:

Be sure to return the seat to the passenger

seating position when ﬁnished. Push and

pull on the seat to make sure it is locked

into place. Never use the third row seating

position while the second row is folded, or

folded and tumbled. This could cause

injury in a sudden stop or crash.

The passenger’s side of the second row seat has

an easy entry feature. This makes it easy to

get in and out of the third row seat, if your vehicle

has one.

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.

To operate the seat, pull the release handle

located on the top of the seatback. Fold the

seatback forward, then pull the release handle on

the top of the seatback to release the seat to

tumble forward.

19

Stowable Seat

If your vehicle has a third row seat, it is a power

folding seat.

The head rests need to be removed before folding

the third row seat. See Head Restraints on

page 17 for instructions for removing the third row

seat head rests. The seatback will not fold all

of the way down if the head rests are not removed.

The buttons that are used to operate the power

folding third row seat are located inside of the

liftgate and behind the second row seat on the

passenger’s side of the vehicle.

Two buttons are located inside the liftgate.

One button is to tilt the seatback forward for added

storage space or when storing a ﬂat tire. The

other button is the power folding seat button. The

button behind the second row seat is also a

power folding seat button. Press and hold either

one of the two power folding seat buttons to

fold 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.
