VEHICLE CONTROLSVEHICLE CONTROLS
Always ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a car wash to 
prevent severe damage to the windshield wiper system.
NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. 
operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the def\
roster
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before 
turning on the wipers.
NOTICE
Automatic (AUTO) Rain-Sensing Wipers*
When you move the lever to the AUTO position 
while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate
based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Put the lever in the AUTo position only when
driving in rainy weather.
rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall
sensor sensitivity.
return the lever to the oFF position when rain
stops.

Adjusting the Seats
Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while 
allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle.
You should be able to sit upright and well back in the 
seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning 
forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably. 
The passenger’s seat should be adjusted so that it 
is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard 
as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the 
steering wheel and the chest.

Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first with a 
paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, 
you should change the wiper blades.
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2. Press and hold the tab, then slide the blade from 
the wiper arm.
3. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling 
the tabbed end out.
4. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that 
has been removed, and mount to a new rubber 
blade. Correctly align the rubber protrusion and the 
retainer grooves.
5. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the 
bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in the 
indent of the wiper blade.
6. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm, then push 
down the lock tab.
7. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the
driver side.

NOTICE
Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good 
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
Inflation Guidelines
• 
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and 
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page 
148) for the specified pressure.
•  Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
• 
overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the 
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
• 
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been 
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add 
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calibrate the 
system (see page 121). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm2) higher than checked when cold.
• 
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure 
in all tires, including the spare. even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 psi
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm2) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
• Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side 
or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if 
you see fabric or cord. 
•  Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•  Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the 
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is 
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
