NOTE: Take care to speak into
the Voice Interface System as
calmly and normally as possible.
The ability of the Voice Interface
System to recognize user voice
commands may be negatively af-
fected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding
phone use. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the ve-
hicle. 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 com-
mand within a few seconds, the
system will present you with a list
of options. 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
commands. 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 cargoarea, inside or outside of a ve-
hicle. 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 anyarea 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.
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

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 feelpain to the skin because of ad-
vanced age, chronic illness, dia-
betes, 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 or seatback that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cush-
ion. 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 tempera-
ture 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 se-
lected, heat will be felt within two
to five minutes.
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

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.

lected, heat will be felt within two
to five minutes.
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

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 occu-
pants must be properly adjusted
prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a ve-
hicle with the head restraints im-
properly adjusted or removed 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 cannot be readily
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
