Safety Warnings and Symbols
You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.
We use a box with gray background and the word
CAUTION to tell you about things that could hurt you if
you were to ignore the warning.
In the gray 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.
I This safety symbol means

“Don’t let this happen.”

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.

Sport Seat (Option)
RIDE CONTROL
SPORT
Different parts of this control move different parts of
your seat. If you move the whole control, the whole seat
will move. The back of the control will move the back
of the seat, and the front of the control will move the
front
of the seat.
If you have the Sport Seat, you must move the switch
next to the lumbar controls to
DR (driver) or PS
(passenger) before adjusting your seat.
Move the control forward or back to move the seat
forward or back. Move the control toward the center of
the vehicle to raise the seat and away from the center of
the vehicle to lower
it.
These switches let you change the shape of your seat.
There are three lumbar supports for the upper, middle
and lower back. There’s also a side bolster that adjusts
the sides of the seat around you to give you more lateral
support.
First move the selector switch
to DR (driver) or PS
(passenger). Then move the shaping switches until your
seat is comfortable. For lumbar support, move each
switch left to inflate or right to deflate.
