60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat — Four Door
Models
To provide additional storage area, each rear
seat can be folded flat to allow for extended
cargo space.
NOTE:
• Be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the
rear seat to fold down easily.
• The center head restraints must be in the
lowest position to avoid contact with the
center console when folding the seat.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
To Fold Down The Rear Seat
There are two release levers located on each
upper outboard side of the rear seat. The
larger of the two release levers folds down the
seat and the head restraint simultaneously.
The smaller lever folds down the head re-
straint independently for improved visibility.
To fold the seat, lift upward on the large
release lever and slowly fold down the seat-
back. The head restraint will fold automati-
cally with the seat when this lever is pulled.NOTE:
You may experience deformation in the seat
cushion from the seat belt buckles if the
seats are left folded for an extended period of
time. This is normal. By simply opening the
seats to the open position, the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape over time.Seatback Release Lever

CAUTION!
life and/or prevent the engine from start-
ing.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.),
will degrade the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw acces-
sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle's bat-
tery.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of
accessory or accessory bracket from the
plug. Improper use of the power outlet
can cause damage.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
There is a 230 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current.
This outlet can power cellular phones, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles exceed this power limit,
as will most power tools.The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
automatically shuts down. Once the electri-
cal device has been removed from the outlet,
the inverter should automatically reset. If the
power rating exceeds approximately
170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be
reset manually.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the
receptacles.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and failure.

WARNING!
could accelerate quickly forward or in
reverse. You could lose control of the
vehicle and hit someone or something.
Only shift into gear when the engine is
idling normally and your foot is firmly
pressing the brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the vehicle.
As with all vehicles, you should never
exit a vehicle while the engine is run-
ning. Before exiting a vehicle, always
come to a complete stop, then apply the
parking brake, shift the transmission
into PARK, and turn the ignition OFF.
When the ignition is in the OFF mode,
the transmission is locked in PARK, se-
curing the vehicle against unwanted
movement.
• When exiting the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.

WARNING!
attended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the transmission
gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park
Interlock which requires the transmission to
be in PARK before the ignition can be turned
to the OFF mode. This helps the driver avoid
inadvertently leaving the vehicle without
placing the transmission in PARK. This sys-
tem also locks the transmission in PARK
whenever the ignition is in the OFF mode.NOTE:
The transmission is NOT locked in PARK
when the ignition is in the ACC mode (even
though the engine will be off). Ensure that
the transmission is in PARK, and the ignition
isOFF(not in ACC mode) before exiting the
vehicle.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Trans-
mission Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that
holds the transmission gear selector in PARK
unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the engine must
be running and the brake pedal must be
pressed. The brake pedal must also be
pressed to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or
REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or
moving at low speeds.
Eight–Speed Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient
8 speed transmission. The gear selector is
located in the center console.
