Operation
Driver's seat:
The seat can be adjusted if the ignition key is in position I, II or if the engine is running.

Press button B to open the storage space in the center console for cassettes, accessory coin holder, etc.
Secure long loads with the seat belt
Carry long loads
The center backrest cushion folds forward, allowing you to transport long, light cargo such as skis in the trunk of your
car. To lower the backrest:
Pull the right release control handle in the trunk to release the backrest (see page 58).
From the rear seat, fold down the right section of the backrest slightly*.
Release the flap by pushing the catch (located on the rear side of the backrest) upward and pulling the flap forward.
Return the backrest to the upright position.
* If your car is equipped with the optional integrated child booster cushion, this cushion must be folded down before
you fold down the backrest (see page 15
).

Spare tire
The spare tire, jack and tool bag are located under the floor of the trunk. To access the spare tire:
· Raise the rear edge of the trunk floor and fold it back toward the rear seat backrest.
· Lift out the trunk floor support (certain models) from the spare tire securing bracket.
· Release the strap to lift out the jack and tool bag.
· Unscrew the securing bracket and lift out the spare tire.
ProCarManuals.com

· To return the spare tire to the trunk, follow the reverse procedure.
WARNING!
Make sure that the spare tire, jack and tool bag are properly secured with the securing bracket and strap to help keep
these components in place in the event of a sudden stop.
NOTE: See page 110
for information on how the jack should be used.
Cargo net in the trunk
The cargo net in the trunk can be used to secure light objects. Pull the net out and slide the runner in the handle down
into one of the two slots provided at the rear edge of the trunk. Use the release tab to release tension on the net while it
is being placed around an object. Be sure the net is then pulled taut around the object.
The net can be retracted when not in use.
Cargo net in trunk
NOTE: If you have purchased the accessory plastic floor cover for the trunk, it may be necessary to cut notches in the
rear edge of this cover so that the runner on the cargo net can be securely pressed into the slots provided.
WARNING!
Never use this net to secure sharp or heavy objects. In such cases, tie down the object using the cargo eyelets
provided. Both rear seat backrests should be secured in the upright position when the cargo net is in use.

General information
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pillar (the structural
member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on
Canadian models.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted
however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on
slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow-
covered roads, we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the
ProCarManuals.com

Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.
pg. 99 Wheels and tires
Tire inflation
Check tire inflation pressure regularly.
A table listing the recommended inflation pressure for your vehicle can be found on page 101.
Tire inflation pressure
placards are also located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the
driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models. These placards indicate the
designation of the factory-mounted tires on your vehicle, as well as load limits and inflation pressure.
NOTE: The placards shown indicate inflation pressure for the tires installed on the car at the factory only.
• Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressure, including the spare, at least once a month and before long trips.
You are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate.
• Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear.
• Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns.
ProCarManuals.com

WARNING!
- Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failure and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation, or
"blowout," with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury.
- Under-inflated tires reduce the load carrying capacity of your vehicle.
When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also change. A 10-degree temperature drop causes a
corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the
proper pressure, which can be found on the vehicle's tire information placard or certification label.
Checking tire pressure
Cold tires
Inflation pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.
The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air.
This temperature is normally reached after the car has been parked for at least 3 hours.
pg. 100 Wheels and tires
After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot. If you have to drive
farther than this distance to pump your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air
pressure when you get to the pump.
If checking tire pressure when the tire is hot, never "bleed" or reduce air pressure. The tires are hot from driving and it
is normal for pressures to increase above recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended cold
inflation pressure could be significantly under-inflated.
To check inflation pressure:
1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve.
2. Add air to reach the recommended air pressure
3. Replace the valve cap.
4. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare.
5. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could puncture the tire and
cause an air leak.
6. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregularities.
NOTE:
• If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure
with your tire gauge.
• Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure than the other tires. Consult the tire inflation table on page 101
or
see the inflation pressure placard.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - option on certain U.S. models only
The tire pressure monitoring system uses sensors mounted in the tire valves to check inflation pressure levels. When
the vehicle is moving at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster, these sensors transmit inflation pressure data to a
receiver located in the vehicle.
