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.

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.

Vehicle Symbols

Your vehicle may be equipped with components and

labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols,

used on your vehicle, 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 in the Index:

“Engine Compartment Overview”

“Instrument Panel”

“Comfort Controls”

“Audio Systems”

Also see “Warning Lights and Gages” in the Index.

These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may find on your vehicle:

Seats and Seat Controls

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

adjust them, and also about the reclining front seatbacks,

lumbar adjustments, head restraints, heated seats and

seatback latches.

Power Seats

The power seat controls are located on the outboard side

of the front seat cushions.

the front portion of the cushion up or down.

Move the rear of the control up or down to adjust the

rear portion of the cushion up or down.

entire seat up or down.

Power Lumbar Control (Option)

If your vehicle has this

option, the driver’s and

passenger’s controls are

located on the outboard

sides of the seat cushions.

The power lumbar support control can be adjusted the

following ways:

To increase or decrease support, hold the control

forward or rearward.

To move the lumbar up and down, hold the control

up or down.

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” and “Memory Seat and

Mirrors” in the Index.

Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)

If your vehicle has this

feature, the controls are

located on the driver’s

door armrest.

These buttons are used to program and recall memory

settingsforthedriver’sseatingandoutsiderearviewmirror

positions. Use the following steps to program each button:

1. Adjustthe driver’sseat(including lumbaradjustments)

and both outside mirrors to a comfortable position.

2. Press the SET button.

3. Within five seconds, press button 1. A single beep

will sound through the driver’s side front speaker to

let you know that the position has been stored.

A second mirror and seating position may be

programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing

button 2 instead of button 1. Each time button 1 or 2 is

pressed and released while the vehicle is in PARK (P),

the memory position will be recalled. Each time a

memory button is pressed, a single beep will sound.

You can also recall a seat and mirror position if your

vehicle is not in PARK (P). Press and hold either

the 1 or 2 button until seat and mirror movement is

complete. Releasing the buttons will stop adjustment.

If you use the button with the unlock symbol on the

remote keyless entry transmitter to enter the vehicle, the

preset driver’s seat and mirror positions will be recalled.

The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,

correspond to the numbers on the driver’s armrest.

If the remote keyless entry transmitter was not used to

enter the vehicle, the last used seat and mirror positions

will be recalled when a key is inserted in the ignition

and is turned to RUN. The vehicle must be previously

programmed to turn this feature on. See “Memory and

Personalization Features” in the Index.
