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 may have 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.
11

To heat only the seatback, press the vertical
button with the heated seatback symbol. An
indicator light on the button will come on to
designate that only the seatback is being heated.
Additional presses will cycle through the heat
levels for the seatback only.
The feature will shut off automatically when the
ignition is turned off.
Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls for
the memory function
are located on the
driver’s door.These buttons are used to program and recall
memory settings for the driver’s seating position,
both outside mirror positions, and the adjustable
pedals, if equipped. The settings for these features
can be saved for up to two drivers.
To store the memory settings, do the following:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, including the seatback
recliner and lumbar, both of the outside
mirrors, and the adjustable pedals, if
equipped, to the desired position.
SeeAdjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal on
page 115for more information.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 button of the
memory control for three seconds. A double
chime will sound to let you know that the
position has been stored.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver,
follow the preceding steps, but press the other
numbered memory control button.

Safety Belts
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.
{CAUTION:
Do not let anyone ride where he or she
cannot wear a safety belt properly. If you
are in a crash and you are 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.
{CAUTION:
It is extremely dangerous to ride in 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.
Your vehicle has indicators to remind you and
your passengers to buckle your safety belts.
SeeSafety Belt Reminder Light on page 201
andPassenger Safety Belt Reminder Light
on page 202.

3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across
you. Do not let it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the
belt across you very quickly. If this happens,
let the belt go back slightly to unlock it.
Then pull the belt across you more slowly.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it
clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is
secure.If the belt is not long enough, seeSafety Belt
Extender on page 40.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle
the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the
shoulder belt.
It may be necessary to pull stitching on the
safety belt through the latch plate to fully
tighten the lap belt on smaller occupants.

Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s
safety belt properly, seeDriver Position on
page 25.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the
same way as the driver’s safety belt — except
for one thing. If you ever pull the shoulder portion
of the belt out all the way, you will engage the
child restraint locking feature. If this happens,
let the belt go back all the way and start again.
Rear Seat Passengers
It is very important for rear seat passengers to
buckle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted
people in the rear seat are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who are not safety belted
can be thrown out of the vehicle in a crash.
And they can strike others in the vehicle who are
wearing safety belts.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All rear seat positions have lap-shoulder belts.
Here is how to wear one properly.
1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across
you. Do not let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let
the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull
the belt across you more slowly.
34

There is no top tether anchor at the right front
seating position. Do not secure a child seat in this
position if a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored or if the instructions
that come with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored. SeeLower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 53
if the child restraint has a top tether.
You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow
the instructions that came with the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint when and as
the instructions say.
1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s
frontal airbag. SeePassenger Sensing
System on page 80. We recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be secured
in a rear seat, even if the airbag is off.If your child restraint is forward-facing, move
the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the child restraint in this seat.
SeeManual Seats on page 9orPower Seats
on page 10.
When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag, the off indicator in the passenger
airbag status indicator should light and
stay lit when you turn the ignition to RUN or
START. SeePassenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 203.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and
shoulder portions of the vehicle’s safety belt
through or around the restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show you how.
