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.
Driver’s power seat*
Move back and allow sufficient space.

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.
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 de\
froster
or heated windshield button* to warm the windshield, or manually clear the
windshield of ice and snow before turning on the wipers.
