Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the manual and power
seats
-- how to adjust them, and also about the reclining
front seatbacks, memory seats, lumbar adjustments and
heated seats.
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.
Pull up on the lever located under the front of the
manual seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you
want it and release the lever. Then try to move the
seat with your body to make sure the seat is locked
into place.
Power Seats (If Equipped)
If you have this feature,
the power seat controls are
located on the outboard side
of the front seat cushions.

Move the front of the seat control up or down to
adjust the front portion of the cushion.

Move the rear of the seat control up or down to
adjust the rear portion of the cushion.

Two personalized exit positions can be set by first
recalling the driver's position (by pressing 1 or 2), then
positioning the seat in the desired exit position for that
driver. Then press and hold the button with the exit
symbol for three seconds. A chime will sound to let you
know that the position has been stored. With the vehicle
in PARK (P), the exit position for that driver can be
recalled by pressing the exit button. The mirrors,
power lumbar and recline positions will not be stored
or recalled for the exit positions.
Programming for automatic seat and mirror movement
can be done through the Driver Information Center
(DIC). You can choose to either select or not select
automatic seat and mirror movement by using the
remote keyless entry transmitter, by placing your
key in the ignition, or when exiting the vehicle. For
programming information, see ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.Heated Front Seats (Option)
Your vehicle may have
heated front seats. The
buttons used to control this
feature are located on the
front door armrests. The
engine must be running
for the heated seat feature
to work.
The horizontal button with the heated seat symbol
is used to control the temperature settings high,
medium and low. Press the button to cycle through the
temperature settings and to turn the heated seat off. An
indicator light will glow beside the temperature selected.
The low setting warms the seatback and cushion until
the seat temperature is near body temperature. The
medium and high settings heat the seatback and seat
cushion to a slightly higher temperature. You will be
able to feel heat in about two minutes.
To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with
the heated seatback symbol. Press the vertical button
again to heat the whole seat.
The feature will shut off automatically when the ignition
is turned off.

1-8 Rear Seats
Your vehicle has a folding rear seat which lets you fold
the seatbacks down for more cargo space.
Pull up on the tab located where the seat cushion meets
the seatback to fold the seat cushion up and out of
the way. This will allow the seatback to fold flat and
increase the cargo area.
The rear seatback handles
are located on the outboard
side of the rear seatbacks.
Pull the seatback toward you as you lift up on the handle.
The head restraint will automatically fold out of the way
when the seatback is folded down.
To raise the seatbacks, lift up the seatbacks and push
on them until they lock into the upright position.
Push and pull on the seatbacks to make sure that they
are latched securely. Then fold the bottom seat cushion
back into place.

CAUTION:
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.
Your vehicle has a light
that comes on as a reminder
to buckle up. See ªSafety
Belt Reminder Lightº in
the Index.
In most 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 30 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter ... a lot!

How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children. And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding
in your vehicle, see the part of this manual called
ªChildren.º Follow those rules for everyone's protection.
First, you'll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We'll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver's restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.
To see how, see ªSeatsº in the Index.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn't long enough, see ªSafety Belt
Extenderº at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for
Children and Small Adults
Rear shoulder belt comfort guides will provide added
safety belt comfort for older children who have
outgrown booster seats and for small adults. When
installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide better
positions the belt away from the neck and head.
There is one guide for each of the outside passenger
positions in the rear seat. To provide added safety belt
comfort for children who have outgrown child restraints
and for smaller adults, the comfort guides may be
installed on the shoulder belts. Here's how to install
a comfort guide and use the safety belt:
1. Slide the guide off
of its storage clip
located between
the interior body
and the seatback.
