located on the outboard side of the driver’s seat
cushion.
To increase support, press and hold the front of
the control. To decrease support, press and
hold the rear of the control. 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.

feature, the driver’s and
passenger’s heated
seat buttons are located
on the climate control
panel below the
fan switch.

Infants and Young Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children. Neither the
distance traveled nor the age and size of the
traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use
safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state
in the United States and in every Canadian
province says children up to some age must be
restrained while in a vehicle.
{CAUTION:
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck and the safety belt
continues to tighten. Never leave children
unattended in a vehicle and never allow
children to play with the safety belts.Every time infants and young children ride in
vehicles, they should have the protection provided
by appropriate restraints. Young children should
not use the vehicle’s adult safety belts alone,
unless there is no other choice. Instead, they need
to use a child restraint.
{CAUTION:
People should never hold a baby in their
arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby
does not weigh much — until a crash.
During a crash a baby will become so
heavy it is not possible to hold it. For
example, in a crash at only 25 mph
(40 km/h), a 12 lb (5.5 kg) baby will
suddenly become a 240 lb (110 kg) force
on a person’s arms. A baby should be
secured in an appropriate restraint.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System
Your Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system
operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules
and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.At times you may notice a decrease in operating
range. This is normal for any RKE system. If
the transmitter does not work or if you have to
stand closer to your vehicle for the transmitter to
work, try this:
Check the distance. You may be too far from
your vehicle. You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the left or right, hold the transmitter
higher, and try again.
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement”
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 98.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter
will not work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it is probably time to change
the battery.
The KEY FOB BATT LOW message in the
vehicle’s DIC will display if the remote keyless
entry transmitter battery is low.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Use a at thin object to separate the bottom
half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the
new one. Make sure the positive side of the
battery faces up. Use one three-volt, CR2032,
or equivalent, type battery.
3. Put the two halves back together. Make sure
the cover is on tightly, so water will not get in.

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, your automatic
system will turn on your headlamps at the normal
brightness along with other lamps such as the
taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps, instrument
panel lights, and interior switch backlighting.
Your vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered, or
the headlamps may remain on when you do
not need them.
The system may also be on when driving through
a parking garage, heavy overcast weather or a
tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the automatic
lamp control system so that driving under
bridges or bright overhead street lights does not
affect the system. The automatic lamp control
system will only be affected when the light sensor
sees a change in lighting lasting longer than
this delay.If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic lamp system will come on immediately.
Once you leave the garage, it will take about
20 seconds for the automatic lamp system
to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that
delay, the instrument panel cluster may not be
as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright position.
SeeInstrument Panel Brightness on page 166.
To idle your vehicle with the system off, turn
the ignition on and turn the exterior light switch to
the off/on position. For Canadian vehicles, the
transaxle must stay in PARK (P) for this function
or the parking brake must be set for vehicles
with manual transaxles.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamps when you need them.
