About Driving Your Vehicle

As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate

this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or

an accident. Be sure to read the “on-pavement” and

“off-road” driving guidelines in this manual. (See

“Driving Guidelines” and “Off-Road Driving with

Your Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” in the Index.)

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.

yellowblue

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.

the outside of each seat.

Press and hold the front of the control until you have the

desired lumbar support. To decrease lumbar support,

press and hold the rear of the control.

Memory Seat

The memory seat control on

the driver’s seat looks like

this. It is located on the left

side of the driver’s seat.

You can use this memory function to save your

seat cushion and seatback settings by using the

following procedure:

1. Adjust the driver’s seat to a safe and comfortable

driving position.

2. Press the SET button and then one of the two

numbered memory buttons. You will hear a chime

for each button pushed to confirm that your settings

have been placed in memory.

3. To program your keyless entry transmitter, press the

UNLOCK button within five seconds of

programming the memory button. You will hear a

chime to confirm programming of the transmitter.

When your vehicle is in PARK (P), push and release the

numbered memory button you just stored. The seat will

move to the set position. You will hear one chime.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to readjust the seat. The transmitter

need not be reprogrammed unless it needs to correspond

to the other numbered memory button.

If there is a third driver, use the seat adjuster switch to

adjust the seat.

Pressing any of the seat adjuster switches, the SET

button or pressing the desired memory button twice will

cause the seat to stop moving. If you push the numbered

button to adjust the seat and start the vehicle while the

seat is still adjusting, adjustment will pause while the

ignition is in START. Adjustment will resume after the

ignition is in RUN.

Heated Front Seats

This control is located on

the side of the seat. This

feature will quickly heat the

lower cushion and lower

back of the driver and

front passenger seats for

added comfort.

Press the lower part of the switch to turn the heater on

low. Press the upper part of the switch to turn the heater

on high. Put the switch in the center position to turn the

heater off.

The passenger’s safety belt must be engaged for the

heated seat feature to work on the passenger’s seat.
