Heated Seats
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.
To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with
the heated seat symbol. Press the button repeatedly
to cycle through the temperature settings of high, medium,
low and
off. The indicator lights will glow to
designate the level
of heat selected: three for high, two
for medium and one for low. 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 button with the
words “BACK
ONLY”. An indicator light on the seatback
switch will glow to designate that only the seatback is
being heated. Additional presses will cycle through
the heat levels for the seatback only. Press the
horizontal button again to heat the whole seat.
The feature will shut
off automatically when the ignition
is turned

Power Reclining Seatbacks
The vertical power seat control described earlier allows
the seatback to recline.
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. 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.
But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is
moving.

Head Restraints Adjust your head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top
of your head. This position
I reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The head restraints
lock into place when raised. To
release the head restraint and lower it, press the
tab located on the top
of the seatback.

Rear Seats
Pull up on the loop 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.

Safety Belts: They Are 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.
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t
wear a safety belt properly.
If you are in a
crash and you’re not wearing a safety belt,
your injuries can be much worse.
You can hit
things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it.
You can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be, if you are
buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt,
and check that your passengers’ belts are
fastened properly too.
It is ext ly dangerous to rid n 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.

says to wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They work.
