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 how to adjust the seats and

explains the reclining seatbacks and head restraints.

Manual Front Seat

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

don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when

the vehicle is not moving.

2-Way Manual Seat

Lift the bar under the front of the seat using an upward

motion. This will unlock the seat. 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 into place.

yellowblue

1-3

6-Way Power Seat (If Equipped)

You may have a six-way power driver’s seat and a

six-way power passenger’s seat (if equipped).

This switch is designed to imitate the movements of

your seat cushion. The driver’s switch is located on the

left side of the driver’s seat cushion. The passenger’s

switch is located on the right side of the passenger’s seat

cushion. To move the seat forward or rearward, push the

switch forward or rearward. To raise or lower the entire

seat, push the switch up or down. To raise or lower the

front portion of your seat, push the front of the switch

up or down. To raise or lower the rear portion of your

seat, push the rear of the switch up or down.

Reclining Front Seatbacks

Lift the lever to release the seatback, then move the

seatback to where you want it. Release the lever to lock

the seatback into place. Pull up on the lever without

pushing on the seatback and the seatback will

move forward.

yellowblue

1-4

But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle

is moving.

CAUTION:

Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is

in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle

up, your safety belts can’t do their job when

you’re reclined like this.

The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it

won’t 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 can’t 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.

Head Restraints

Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the

restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position

reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
