WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following local laws. All
attention should be kept on the
roadway ahead. Failure to do so may
result in a collision causing serious
injury or death.
When you press the Voice Command
button, you will hear a beep.
The beep is your signal to give a com-
mand.
NOTE:
If you do not say a command
within a few seconds, the system
will present you with a list of op-
tions.
If you ever wish to interrupt the sys-
tem while it lists options, press the
Voice Command
button, listen
for the beep, and say your command.
Pressing the Voice Command
button while the system is speaking is
known as “barging in.” The system
will be interrupted, and after the
beep, you can add or change com- mands. This will become helpful once
you start to learn the options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words
“Cancel”, “Help” or “Main Menu”.
These commands are universal and
can be used from any menu. All other
commands can be used depending
upon the active application.
When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing volume.
The system will best recognize your
speech if the windows are closed, and
the heater/air conditioning fan is set
to low.
At any point, if the system does not
recognize one of your commands, you
will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear the first available Menu, press
the Voice Command
button and
say “Help” or “Main Menu”.

SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Re-
straint System of the vehicle.WARNING!
It is 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.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
POWER SEATS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Some models may be equipped with
eight-way power seats for the driver
and front passenger. The power seat
switches are located on the outboard
side of the seat. The switches control
the movement of the seat cushion and
the seatback.
102
POWER LUMBAR (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Vehicles equipped with power driver
or passenger seats may be also be
equipped with power lumbar. The
power lumbar switch is located on the
outboard side of the power seat. Push
the switch forward to increase the
lumbar support. Push the switch rear-
ward to decrease the lumbar support.
HEATED SEATS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
On some models, the front and rear
seats may be equipped with heaters in
both the seat cushions and seatbacks.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain 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.
Front Heated Seats
There are two heated seat switches
that allow the driver and passenger to
operate the seats independently. The
controls for each heater are located on
the switch bank below the climate
controls.
You can choose from HIGH, LOW or
OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch indicate the level
of heat in use. Two indicator lights
will illuminate for HIGH, one for
LOW and none for OFF.
Press the switch once to se-
lect 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.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within two to five min-
utes.
When the HIGH-level setting is se-
lected, the heater will provide a
boosted heat level during the initial
stages of operation. Then, the heat
output will drop to the normal HIGH-
level. If the HIGH-level setting is se-
lected, the system will automatically
switch to LOW-level after a maximum
of 60 minutes of continuous opera-
tion. At that time, the number of illu-
minated LEDs changes from two to
one, indicating the change. The LOW-
level setting will turn OFF automati-
cally after a maximum of 45 minutes.

Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the second row seats
are equipped with heaters. There are
two heated seat switches that allow
the second row passengers to operate
the seats independently. The heated
seat switches are located on the slid-
ing side door handle trim panels.
You can choose from HIGH, LOW or
OFF heat settings. Amber indicator
lights in each switch indicate the level
of heat in use. Two indicator lights
will illuminate for HIGH, one for
LOW and none for OFF.Press the switch once to se-
lect 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.

Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within two to five min-
utes.
When the HIGH-level setting is se-
lected, the heater will provide a
boosted heat level during the initial
stages of operation. Then, the heat
output will drop to the normal HIGH-
level. If the HIGH-level setting is se-
lected, the system will automatically
switch to LOW-level after a maximum
of 60 minutes of continuous opera-
tion. At that time, the number of illu-
minated LEDs changes from two to
one, indicating the change. The LOW-
level setting will turn OFF automati-
cally after a maximum of 45 minutes. MANUAL FRONT/SECOND

WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while drivingmay be dangerous. Moving a seat
while driving could result in loss
of control which could cause a
collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while
the vehicle is parked. Serious in-
jury or death could result from a
poorly adjusted seat belt.
MANUAL RECLINING
SEATS (for versions/
markets, where provided)
For models equipped with manual re-
clining seats, the recline lever is lo-
cated on the outboard side of the seat. To recline, lean forward slightly, lift
the lever, then push back to the de-
sired position and release the lever.
Lean forward and lift the lever to
return the seatback to its normal po-
sition. Using body pressure, lean for-
ward and rearward on the seat to be
sure the seatback has latched.
WARNING!
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, which could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear im-
pact. Head restraints should be ad-
justed so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants
must be properly adjusted prior to
operating the vehicle or occupying a
seat. Head restraints should never be
adjusted while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or re-
moved could cause serious injury or
death in the event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front
Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive,
deployable components, and vehicles
with this equipment can not be read-
ily identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half
being soft foam and trim, the back
half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear im-
pact, the front half of the head re-
straint extends forward to minimize
the gap between the back of the occu-
pant’s head and the AHR. This system
is designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and
