crash if the doors are not
locked. So, wear safety belts
properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.

unable to get out. A child can
be overcome by extreme heat
and can suffer permanent
injuries or even death from
heat stroke. Always lock your
vehicle whenever you

3-4 Seats and Restraints
{WARNING
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will
be in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious
internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
Memory Seats
If available, the controls on the
driver door are used to program and
recall memory settings for the driver
seat, outside mirrors, and the
telescopic steering column (if
equipped).
The numbers on the back of the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitters correspond to the
numbers on the memory buttons.

Seats and Restraints 3-7
{WARNING
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
To return a seatback to the sitting
position, lift up on the latch, raise
the seatback, and push the
seatback rearward. Push and pull
on the seatback to make sure it is
locked in place.
Heated Front Seats
{WARNING
If you cannot feel temperature
change or pain to the skin, the
seat heater may cause burns. To
reduce the risk of burns, people
with such a condition should use
care when using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on
the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket, cushion,
cover, or similar item. This may
cause the seat heater to
overheat. An overheated seat
heater may cause a burn or may
damage the seat.
If available, the buttons are on the
instrument panel.
The ignition must be on for this
feature to work.
L(Heated Seat): Press to turn the
heated seat on at the high setting.
