Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will nd these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something
that could damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage
the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors
or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
The vehicle has components and labels that use
symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown
along with the text describing the operation or
information relating to a specic component,
control, message, gage, or indicator.
If you need help guring out a specic name of
a component, gage, or indicator, reference
the following topics:

Power Lumbar
Your vehicle has power lumbar on the driver’s and
front passenger’s seats.
The seatback lumbar
support can be adjusted
by moving the control
located on the outboard
side of the seat
cushions.
To increase or decrease support, hold the control
forward or rearward.
Keep in mind that as your seating position
changes, as it may during long trips, so should the
position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat
as needed.
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 and seatback symbol.
Press the button to cycle through the temperature
settings of high, medium, and low and to turn
the heated seat off. The indicator lights above the
button will come on to designate the level of
heat selected: three for high, two for medium, and
one for low. The low setting warms the seatback
and seat 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.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your
vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through your
dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
dealer has coded the new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each
vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it.
