TABLE OF CONTENTS

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags 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 and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags 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 and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag 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 rear seat, 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.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK (1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa- tion: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchor-age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• 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. If you are installing LATCH-compatible child restraints in adjacent rear
seating positions, you can use either the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt in the
outboard seating position, but the center seating position must use the vehicle seat belt.
Always use the top tether anchorage with a forward facing child seat.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cush-
ion where it meets the seatback. They are
just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
• In addition, there are tether strap anchor- ages behind each rear seating position
located in the panel between the rear
seatback and the rear window. These
tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the
tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor toroute it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile 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.
• 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.
• 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.

FRONT SEATS
Power Seat
• The power seat switch, located on theoutboard side of the seat near the floor,
controls forward/back, up/down, and tilt
adjustment.
• The recline switch controls the seatback recliner.
Manual Seat Adjustment
Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting bar located at the front of the seat near the floor and release
it when the seat is at the desired position.
Then, using body pressure, move forward
and backward on the seat to be sure that
the seat adjusters have latched.
Recliner
• Lift the recliner lever located on the out-board side of the seat, lean back and re-
lease at the desired position.
Lumbar Support
• The lumbar adjust lever is on the outboardside of the seatback. Rotate the lumbar
adjust lever downward to increase the
lumbar support or upward to decrease the
lumbar support as desired.

Driver’s Seat Height Adjustment
• The height adjustment control lever is lo-cated on the outboard side of the seat.
Raise the lever to raise the seat. Lower the
lever to lower the seat.
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. The sudden 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
Folding Rear Seatback
• To fold the rear seatback forward, pull onthe loops to fold down either or both seat-
backs. When returning the rear seatback
to the upright position, be sure the seat-
back is latched.

HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for the front heated seats arelocated in the center console below the
climate 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 60 minutes.
The Low-level setting will turn Off auto-
matically after approximately 45 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced 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.
