ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM (if equipped)
This system allows you to lock and unlock the doors without taking
the key out.
While Carrying the Advanced Key...
• Unlock the driver’s door by
pushing the driver’s door request
switch once.
• Unlock all doors by pushing
the driver’s door request switch
once or twice (depending on
personalization setting)
OR by pushing the passenger’s
door request switch once.
• Lock all doors (and liftgate) by
pushing any request switch once.
• Open the trunk by pushing
the trunk switch once (switch
is located a little to the right of
the center of vehicle).
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry System and the Keyless
Entry System both use the same type of keyless entry transmitter. However, only vehicles
equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry System allow you to lock and unlock the
doors with the door request switches (without taking the key out of your purse or pocket).
Vehicles equipped with the Keyless Entry System do not have request switches on the
doors/trunk. To lock and unlock the doors, the corresponding transmitter button must
be pushed.

Headrests
For your safety, the front seats are equipped with active headrests that
are not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active
headrest is designed to move forward in the event of a collision to close
the gap between your head and the headrest (to prevent whiplash).
Driver’s Seat Lumbar Support Adjustment
(if equipped)
To increase the lumbar support, move the lever
upward. Move the lever downward to decrease
lumbar support.
5‐door hatchback
Push the button to fold
down the seatback.
NOTE: For tall drivers and front passengers who
adjust the front seats all the way back, the headrests
on the rear seats need to be removed when folding the
rear seatbacks down. If not removed, the rear headrest
will press into the front seatback. In order to remove the
headrest from the rear seat, the seatback needs to be
tilted slightly forward.
NOTE: Left rear seat release is shown .
