How to Use this Manual

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.

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 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.

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 different colors or in

different words.

You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use

the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

Seats and Seat Controls

This section tells you about the power seats -- how to

adjust them, and also about the reclining front seatbacks,

memory seats, lumbar adjustments, heated seats and

head restraints.

Power Seats

The power seat controls, located on the front doors,

move and adjust the angle of the front seats.

Move the seat cushion control forward or rearward

to move the entire seat.

Moving the seat cushion control up or down adjusts

the seat height.

Lifting up or pressing down on the front part of the

seat control adjusts the front angle of the seat cushion.

Lifting up or pressing down on the rear part of the

seat control adjusts the rear angle of the seat cushion.

Power Lumbar Control (If Equipped)

The LUMBAR control is

located on the outboard side

of each front seat. It

provides additional support

to your lower back and it

works independently of the

other seat controls. Use the

power seat control first to

get the proper position.

Then proceed with the

lumbar adjustment.

To reshape the lower seatback, move the LUMBAR

switch forward to increase support and rearward to

decrease support. Move the LUMBAR switch side to

side to raise or lower the support mechanism to suit

your preference.

yellowblue

1-3

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.

If you have the optional personalization package, the

power lumbar control can be programmed for memory

recall. For more information, see “Memory and

Personalization Features” in the Index.

Massaging Lumbar (If Equipped)

Push the lumbar control, located on the outboard side of

each front seat, up for half a second to activate the

massage feature. The massage cycle will run

continuously for 10 minutes and can be interrupted by

pushing the lumbar control down briefly. The lumbar

support can be adjusted during the massage cycle by

moving the switch forward to increase support and

rearward to decrease support. The massage cycle will

continue to run even if the ignition is turned to OFF,

unless interrupted.

Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)

Automatic seat and mirror movement will occur if the

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is used to

enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the

transmitter corresponds to the 1 or 2 seat and

mirror position.

After the unlock button is pressed on the RKE

transmitter (the ignition must be in LOCK) or when the

key is placed in the ignition, the seat and mirrors will

automatically adjust to the appropriate position.

Automatic seat and mirror movement is programmed

through the Driver Information Center (DIC) so that the

driver can select whether or not movement will occur

using the RKE transmitter or by placing the ignition key

in the ignition. For programming information, see

“Memory and Personalization Features” in the Index.

1-4

Heated Front Seat (Option)

The control is located on the outboard side of each front

seat. Move the SEAT HEAT control to either LO or HI

to turn on the heating elements in the 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. A telltale light in

the control reminds you that the heating system is in use.

The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is

turned on.

Reclining Front Seatbacks

Press the recliner control, located on the front doors,

forward or rearward to adjust the seatback.
