FUSES
If electrical components in your vehicle are not
working, a fuse may have blown. For more
information about changing a fuse, please consult
your Owner’s Guide.
TIRE PRESSURE
Adjust the tire pressure to the specifications on
your Certification Label, located near the front
door latch on the driver’s side. When checking
pressure, use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold, after
the vehicle has been parked for at least one hour
or has been driven less than 3 miles.
Warning:Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling
and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
CHANGING THE TIRES
Your vehicle is equipped with either a full-size or a
temporary spare tire. (Temporary spares are
smaller than regular tires and designed for
emergency use only; replace this tire with a
full-size tire that is identical to the other tires on
your vehicle as soon as possible. Please see your
Owner’s Guide for additional information on
temporary spares.)
LOCATION OF THE SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
The spare tire is under the vehicle, just forward of
the rear bumper. The jack and wheel nut wrench
are behind the access panel to the right rear
quarter panel interior trim. The jack handle is
attached to the jack with a clip.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Your automatic
transaxlespends the
first few hundred miles
learning your driving
style so it can provide
you with shifting smoothness. Overdrive will
increase your fuel economy when cruising at a
constant speed for an extended period of time.
Overdrive “ON” (“OFF” switch not depressed) is
the normal driving position for this automatic
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
As you back up, this convenient
feature alerts you to the presence
of large stationary objects near
your rear bumper, using a series
of beeps to help you gauge the
distance.
The Reverse Sensing System will not detect small
or moving objects. It functions in situations where
you’re backing up at less than 3 mph, detecting
obstacles within 5.9’ (or less) of your rear bumper.
The closer you get to the obstacle, the more the
frequency of the tone increases. When you’re
within 10 inches, the tone will sound continuously.
INTERIOR MIRRORS
Flip the conversation mirror (if
equipped) into position when you
need to see and communicate
with rear seat passengers; this
mirror does not replace your rear
view mirror.
Some inside rear view mirrors include an
auto-dimmingfunction. When bright light is
detected from front or behind, they automatically
adjust to minimize glare.
Power heated mirrors with
safety signals(if equipped) use a
blinking yellow arrow to warn
other drivers that your vehicle is
about to turn or that someone may
be entering/exiting the vehicle
from the sliding doors. These mirrors also warm up
to remove ice, mist and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated. Attempting to adjust if frozen or
remove ice from these mirrors by hand can
damage the glass.
FLEXIBLE SEATINGFor passenger and cargo carrying
flexibility, all second and third row
seat backs can fold flat to provide
horizontal space for large objects.
All second and third row seats
can be completely removed.If
equipped, second and third row
seats can also be adjusted:
Second row seatscan
be tipped and moved forward to allow passengers
easy access to the third row.
Second and third
row seats can slide forward and rearward, and can
be reclined. (Warning: Reclining the seatback can
cause an occupant to slide under the seat's safety
belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the
event of a collision.) The
third row seatcan be
moved to the second row for additional cargo space
and to create seating for five; it also has levers that
allow you to move the seat forward or rearward
while in the seat, allowing room behind the seat to
load the cargo area.
MEMORY SEAT SETTING (IF EQUIPPED)
The Memory Seat system
“remembers” the positions of seat,
outside mirrors and adjustable
pedals for up to two different

positions; the controls are on the trim panel in front
of the sliding door. (Press the left side of the
ON/OFF control in the overhead console to
prevent using the rear seat control(s) or the
handle. All other controls remain functional.)
If the doors detect sufficient resistance from a
person or object while closing, they will automatically
reverse to the open position. Also note that the
left-hand power sliding door will not open if the fuel
door is open.
For additional information on power sliding doors,
please refer to your Owner’s Guide.

other compatible devices

position for storage when not in use.
PERSONAL SAFETY SYSTEM
This important system uses crash
and occupant sensors placed
throughout the vehicle to
compare crash severity with
occupant conditions to activate
the appropriate safety devices. As an example, front air bags and seat belt
pretensioners will typically activate only in
frontal and near-frontal collisions, not rollovers,
side-impacts or rear-impacts. To make the most
