NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within two to five min-
utes.WARNING!
 Persons who are unable to feelpain to the skin because of ad-
vanced age, chronic illness, diabe-
tes, spinal cord injury, medica-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must ex-
ercise 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. RECLINER ADJUSTMENT
The recliner control is on the out-
board side of the seat. To recline the
seat, lean forward slightly and lift the
lever. Then lean back to the position
desired and release the lever. To re-
turn the seatback to its normal up-
right position, lean forward and lift
the lever. Release the lever once the
seatback is in the upright position.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. The sudden
movement of the seat could cause
you to lose control. The seat belt
might not be properly adjusted and
you could be injured. Adjust the seat
only while the vehicle is parked.

WARNING!
(Continued)
 Do not ride with the seatback re-
clined so that the shoulder belt is
no longer resting against your
chest. In a collision you could slide
under the seat belt and be seri-
ously or even fatally injured. Use
the recliner only when the vehicle
is parked.

Control takes over accelerator opera-
tions at speeds greater than 40 km/h. The Electronic Speed Control buttons
are located on the right side of the
steering wheel.
NOTE:
In order to ensure proper opera-
tion, the Electronic Speed Control

Indicator Light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate. To turn the
system off, push the ON/OFF button
a second time. The Cruise Indicator
Light will turn off. The system should
be turned off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Con-
trol system on when not in use is
dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go faster
than you want. You could lose con-
trol and have an accident. Always
leave the system OFF when you are
not using it.

A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing
the CANCEL button, or normal brake
pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate Electronic Speed Control
without erasing the set speed memory.
Pressing the ON/OFF button or turn-
ing the ignition switch OFF erases the
set speed memory.

set, you can increase speed by pushing
the RES (+) button. If the button is
continually pressed, the set speed will
continue to increase until the button is
released, then the new set speed will
be established.Pressing the RES (+) button once will
result in a 2 km/h increase in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in an increase of
2 km/h.
To decrease speed while the Elec-
tronic Speed Control is set, push the
SET (-) button. If the button is con-
tinually held in the SET (-) position,
the set speed will continue to decrease
until the button is released. Release
the button when the desired speed is
reached, and the new set speed will be
established.
Pressing the SET (-) button once will
result in a 2 km/h decrease in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in a decrease of 2 km/h.
TO ACCELERATE FOR
PASSING

normally. When the pedal is released,
the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control
On Hills
The transmission may downshift on
hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control sys-
tem maintains speed up and down
hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or
gain may occur so it may be prefer-
able to drive without Electronic Speed
Control.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be
dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the condi-
tions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Elec-
tronic Speed Control in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
ELECTRICAL POWER
OUTLETS
