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:
Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1
Features and Controls in Section 2
Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3
Climate Controls in Section 3

Power Seats
If the vehicle has power
seats, the controls used
to operate them are
located on the outboard
side of the seats.
To adjust the seat, do any of the following:
Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding
the control forward or rearward.
Raise or lower the front part of the seat
cushion by moving the front of the control up

Raise or lower the rear part of the seat
cushion by moving the rear of the control up

Your vehicle may have this feature. If it does, the
heated seat buttons are located on the climate
control panel.
This feature will heat the lower cushions of the
driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
Press this button once
to turn the heated seat
on to the high setting.
Both indicator lights next to the heated seat
symbol will be lit to indicate that it is on the high
setting. Press the button a second time to go to the
low setting. One indicator will be lit. Press the

5. To release the front seat hooks from the oor
pins, squeeze the angled bar, located beneath
the seat toward the straight crossbar.
6. Remove the seat by rocking it slightly forward,
then toward the rear of the vehicle while
pulling it out. This should be done in
one motion.
Reinstalling the Bucket Seats
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not
provide the protection needed in a crash.
The person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After installing the seat,
always check to be sure that the safety
belts are properly routed and attached,
and are not twisted.
Do not install the seat facing the rear of the
vehicle, as it will not lock into place. If more
storage room is needed behind the seat, slide the
seat forward.
Make sure the seat is in the full rear position
before beginning this procedure.

Removing the Third Row Seat
1. Remove the convenience center, if equipped.
SeeConvenience Center on page 186for
more information.
2. Make sure all items are off the seat.
Notice:Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause damage to the
seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle
the safety belts and return them to their normal
stowed position before folding a rear seat.
3. Put the seatback in its folded position before
removing the seat. See “Folding the
Seatback(s)” earlier in this section.
4. From behind the seat, squeeze the release
handle until the pin indicators are fully out.
This indicates that the rear latches are
released from the oor. For ease of removing
the seat, squeeze the handle with the palm
of your hand up.
5. Lift the seat slightly from the oor to ensure
the latches are clear of the oor pins.
6. Pull the seat rearward and out of the vehicle.
The release handle can be used to carry
the seat.

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. See
Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 232and
Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light on
page 233.
In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the
law says to wear safety belts. Here is why:
They work.

Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to
wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To
see how, see “Seats” in the Index.
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.
38

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.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it
clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is
secure.
When the shoulder belt is pulled out all the
way, it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the
way and start again.
If the belt is not long enough, seeSafety Belt
Extender on page 55.
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.
