TABLE OF CONTENTS

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in acollision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably
extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument
panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of
the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rearseat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you
can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the childrestraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors and all three rear seating positions have top tether anchors.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can
be used in all three seating positions.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a
common lower anchorage.

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become aprojectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an
infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold
the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could
be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be
severely injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions
exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor
positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint
top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment
could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.
FRONT SEATS
Power Seats
• The power seat switch, located onthe outboard side of the seat near
the floor, controls forward/back,
up/down, and tilt adjustment.
Recliner • Lean forward slightly, lift the recliner lever located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean
back and release at the desired
position.

Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat
• The front passenger seat can befolded flat to allow for extended
cargo space. Pull up on the
recliner lever to fold down the
seatback.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to
move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may
become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat's
path.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Thesudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The
seat belt might not be properly adjusted, and you could be severely
injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide
under the seat belt and be severely injured or killed. Use the recliner
only when the vehicle is parked.
REAR SEATS
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With Fold-Flat Feature
• Each rear seatback can be folded flat or reclined.
To Lower Rear Seatback • With the front seats fully upright and positioned forward, pull the release strap toward the front of the vehicle and fold the rear seatback
completely forward.
• Push down on the seatback to lock it in the folded position.
GETTING STARTED
15

To Raise Rear Seatback• Pull the release strap toward the front of the vehicle.
• Raise the seatback and lock it into place.
Recliner Adjustment • Pull the release strap while sitting in the rear seat to recline the
seatback, release at the desired
position.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the
seatback is not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide
the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats are located near the bottom center ofthe instrument panel (below the heater/air conditioning controls).
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a second time to select Low-level heating. Press the switch a third time to
shut the heating elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to Low-level after approximately 30 minutes. The Low-level setting will
turn Off automatically after approximately 30 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because ofadvanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical conditions
must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat.
Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns
due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.

WARNING!
• Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. Ina sudden stop or a collision, a tie-down could pull loose and allow
the child seat to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use
only the anchors provided for child seat tethers.
• To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for
load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.
