Here you’ll find information about the seats in your

Memory Function
... ............_......_.............._...... - ...... -
The memory function
controls both the driver's seat and outside mirror
positions. First position the
seat and mirrors where you
want them. Next, press the SET button. Within five
seconds, press either the
1 or 2 button.
The seat and memory positions will be stored for the

corresponding to the position. The memory function will
only work with
the gearshift in PARK (P).
To stop the automatic movement, move the seat bottom
switch in any direction. For easier exiting, press the
1
and 2 buttons at the same time to move the seat
completely down and back.

Heated Seats (Option) Head Restraints
This feature will quickly heat the lower cushions and
lower back
of the driver and front passenger seats for
added comfort.
Press the button once to turn the heater on high. The HI
indicator light below the button will glow. Press it again
to turn the heater on low. The
LO indicator light below
heater off. The heater will turn off automatically when
the ignition is turned
off.
1 Y the button will glow. Press it a third time to turn the 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.
The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also.
There are four different positions. Just grasp the top of
the restraint and move it forward the way you want
it to
go until you hear a click. It will then be locked into that
position until you need to move it again. Pulling it
forward past the last position will allow the headrest to
return to its full rear position.

Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It
also tells you some things you should not do
with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Restraint System, or “air bag” system.
1-1 Your vehicle has a light
that comes on
as a
reminder to buckle up.
(See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the
Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to
wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a
crash, you don’t know if
it will be a bad one.
A few crashes
are mild, and some crashes can be so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes
are in between. In many of them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt
or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts
are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot!

Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it
goes.
Put someone
on it.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just
a seat on
wheels.

.. .. .
Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider
doesn't stop. The
person keeps going until stopped by something.
In
a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ...

or the instrument panel . . . or the safety belts!
With safety belts, you slow
down as the vehicle does.
You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That's why
safety belts make such
good sense.
