How to Use This Manual

{CAUTION:

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.

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.

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

“Do Not do this” or “Do Not let this happen.”
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.

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Vehicle Symbols

Also, in this manual you will ﬁnd these notices:

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.

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.
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
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.
• Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators in

Section 3
• Audio System(s) in Section 3 • Engine Compartment Overview in Section 5

Lift the bar located 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 with your body to be sure the seat is locked in place.

Heated Seats

Reclining Seatbacks

If your vehicle has this feature, the controls are located on the outboard side of the front seats.

{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.

This feature will heat the cushion and back of the seats. Press the top of the switch to turn the heat to the high setting. Press the bottom of the switch to turn the heat to the low setting. Put the switch in the center position to turn the heat off. The ignition must be on for the heated seat feature to work. The seat will heat to the last setting if the ignition has been turned off and then turned back on.

{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.

The passenger’s safety belt must be fastened for the heated seat feature to work on the passenger’s seat.

10
The seats have manual reclining seatbacks. The lever used to operate them is located on the outboard side of the seats.
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.

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.

11

{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 because it will not be against your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. 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.

12
Pull the head restraint up to raise it. To lower the head restraint, press the button,

Head Restraints

located on the top of the seatback, and push the head restraint down.

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the occupant’s head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.

13
2. Place your hand under the front of the seat cushion and lift the cushion up while moving it forward.

Rear Seats

60/40 Split Bench Seat

The 60/40 split bench seats can be folded to give you more cargo space.

Folding the Seatbacks

To fold the rear seatback(s), do the following:
1. Make sure that nothing is on, under, or in front of the seat.
There is a label below the seat cushion with

instructions to aid in seat operation.

14
4. Lift the latch on top of the seatback and pull the seatback forward. Fold the seatback down until it is nearly ﬂat.
3. Pull the cushion forward until it rests in the footwell.

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.

5. If the seatback will not fold nearly ﬂat, try moving the front seat forward and/or moving the front seatback more upright.

6. Repeat the steps for the other half of the
60/40 split bench seat.

15
To return the seatback(s) to the upright position, do the following:

Returning the Seatbacks to an Upright Position

1. Lift the seatback up and push it rearward all the way.

{CAUTION:

2. Place your hand under the front of the seat cushion and lift the cushion while moving it rearward until it latches into position.

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.

3. Pull forward on the seatback and push down on the seat cushion to make sure the seat is securely in place.

{CAUTION:

A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

16

Safety Belts

{CAUTION:

Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.
