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 seats -- how to adjust

them, and fold them up and down. It also tells you about

reclining front seatbacks and head restraints.

Power Seats

Horizontal Control: You can adjust your vehicle’s front

seats with the horizontal control located on the outboard

edge of each front seat.

Raise or lower the front of the seat by raising or

lowering the forward edge of the control. Raise or lower

the rear of the seat by raising or lowering the rear edge

of the control.

Move the seat forward or rearward by moving the

whole control toward the front or toward the rear of

the vehicle.

Moving the whole control up or down raises or lowers

the entire seat cushion.

Vertical Control: See “Reclining Front Seatbacks” later

in this section.

1-3

Power Lumbar Control

Use the lumbar control,

located on the outboard

side of the seat, to increase

or decrease lumbar support

in an area of the lower

seatback.

To increase support, press and hold the front of the

control. To decrease support, press and hold the rear of

the control. Let go of the control when the lower

seatback reaches the desired level of support.

You can also reshape the side wing area of the lower

seatback for more lateral support.

To increase support, press and hold the top of the

control. To decrease support, press and hold the bottom

of the control. Let go of the control when the lower

seatback reaches the desired level of support.

Memory Seat

The controls for the

memory seat are located on

the driver’s door trim panel.

The memory function can recall preset positions for the

driver’s seat cushion and the recliner. The memory function

does not store the lumbar or back support positions.

To set your memory seat do the following:

1. Adjust the driver’s seat to the desired position.

2. Press the SET button and then press the 1 or 2 button

of the memory control within five seconds.

When your vehicle is in PARK (P), press the same

button of the memory control to recall the seat setting.

To do the same thing for a second driver, follow the

preceding steps, but press the other number of the

memory control. The memory feature only works when

the transmission is in PARK (P).

Heated Front Seats

The button for the driver’s

side heated seat is located

on the driver’s side door

panel. The button for the

passenger’s side heated seat

is located on the passenger’s

side door panel.

The ignition must be in RUN for this feature to operate.

To activate the heated seats, press the button once for

the HI heat setting. Press the button again for the LO

heat setting. To turn off the heated seats, press the button

a third time. An indicator light will illuminate for each

heat setting anytime the heated seats are operating.

The heated front seats will be canceled after the ignition

is turned to OFF. If you still want to use the heated front

seat feature after you restart your vehicle, you will need

to press the heated seat button again.

Reclining Front Seatbacks

Your vehicles front seatbacks have a recline feature.

Vertical Control: You can use the vertical control to

adjust the angle of the seatback. Move the reclining

front seatback rearward or forward by moving the

vertical control toward the rear or toward the front of

the vehicle.
