WARNING!(Continued)
•If the vehicle carpet has been removed and re-
installed, always properly attach carpet to the
floor and check the floor mat fasteners are secure
to the vehicle carpet. Fully depress each pedal to
check for interference with the accelerator, brake,
or clutch pedals then re-install the floor mats.
• It is recommended to only use mild soap and

floor mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make
Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread. Inspect the tread and sidewall for
cuts and cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires for proper pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake lights
and exterior lights while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the
instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for
fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if
gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering
fluid (if equipped), or brake fluid leaks are suspected,
the cause should be located and corrected immediately.

MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
A single ball joint mirror is provided in the vehicle. It is
a twist on mirror that has a fixed position at the
windshield. The mirror installs on the windshield but-
ton with a counterclockwise rotation and requires no
tools for mounting. The mirror head can be adjusted up,
down, left, and right for various drivers. The mirror
should be adjusted to center on the view through the
rear window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be re-
duced by moving the small control under the mirror to
the night position (toward the rear of the vehicle). The
mirror should be adjusted while the small control under
the mirror is set in the day position (toward the
windshield).

Outside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirrors
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the inside mirror.
NOTE:The passenger side convex outside mirror will
give a much wider view to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the passenger
side convex mirror will look smaller and farther
away than they really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side mirror could cause you to collide
with another vehicle or other object. Use your
inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side mirror.
Power Mirrors
The power mirror controls are located on the center
console.
The power mirror controls consist of mirror select knob
and a four-way mirror control switch. To adjust a
mirror, turn the power mirror control knob to the left or
right to select the mirror that you want to adjust.
Using the mirror control switch, push on any of the four
arrows for the direction that you want the mirror to
move.

Manual Seats
Forward And Rearward Adjustment
The adjusting bar is at the front of the driver seat, near
the floor. Pull the bar upward to move the seat forward
or rearward. Release the bar once the seat is in the
desired position. Then, using body pressure, move
forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that the
seat adjusters have latched.
Seat Height Adjustment
In order to achieve the ideal driving position, the height
of the seats can also be adjusted. Tools are required to
make this height adjustment. Contact your authorized
dealership.
Recliner Adjustment
The recliner lever is located on the outboard side of the
seat. To recline the seat, lean forward slightly, pull the
recliner lever upward, lean backward until the seat is in
the desired position, and release the lever. To return the
seat to its full upright position, lean forward, pull the
recliner lever upward and hold it until the seat returns
to its full upright position.

nals.

Daytime Running Lights
To activate the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), rotate
the end of the multifunction lever to theOsymbol.
NOTE: The low beams and side/tail lights will not be
on with DRL.
High Beams
With the low beams activated, pull the multi-
function lever towards the steering wheel to turn
on the high beams. A high beam symbol will illuminate
in the cluster to indicate the high beams are on. Pull the
multifunction lever a second time to switch the head-
lights back to low beam.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the
steering wheel. This will cause the high beam head-
lights to turn on until the lever is released.
Parking Lights
To turn on the parking lights, remove the key
or turn the ignition to OFF/LOCK position
and turn on the headlights.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster display
will flash to show proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights.
NOTE: If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective
outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb
is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond
the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash
five times then automatically turn off.
