Essential Information
Consult the Table of Contents to determine
which section contains the information you
desire.
Since the specification of your vehicle de-
pends on the items of equipment ordered,
certain descriptions and illustrations may dif-
fer from your vehicle's equipment.
The detailed index at the back of this Owner's
Manual contains a complete listing of all
subjects.
Symbols
Some vehicle components have colored la-
bels whose symbols indicate precautions to
be observed when using this component.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This
vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a
higher center of gravity than many passenger
vehicles. It is capable of performing better ina wide variety of off-road applications. Driven
in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out
of control. Because of the higher center of
gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may
roll over when some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneu-
vers, or other unsafe driving actions that can
cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to oper-
ate this vehicle safely may result in a colli-
sion, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or
fatal injury. Drive carefully.
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat
belts provided is a major cause of severe or
fatal injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than
a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle
up.

Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, 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. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
On some models, the front driver and passen-
ger seats may be equipped with heaters in
both the seat cushions and seatbacks.
Trim Access Door
Connector Unplugged

There are two heated seat switches that allow
the driver and passenger to operate the seats
independently. The controls for each seat are
located on a switch bank near the bottom
center of the instrument panel.
You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat
settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two
indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one for
LO and none for OFF.Push the switch once to select HI-level heat-
ing. Push the switch a second time to select
LO-level heating. Push the switch a third
time to shut the heating elements OFF.
When the HI-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level dur-
ing the initial stages of operation. Then, the
heat output will drop to the normal HI-level.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LO-level after
approximately 30 minutes of continuous op-
eration. At that time, the number of illumi-
nated LEDs changes from two to one, indicat-
ing the change. The LO-level setting will turn
OFF automatically after approximately
30 minutes.
NOTE:
When a heat setting is selected, heat will be
felt within two to five minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to

tion or other physical condition must
exercise care when using the seat
heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat,
such as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat. Sit-
ting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the
increased surface temperature of the
seat.
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:
• Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be
necessary to reposition the front seat to its
mid-track position.Front Heated Seat Switches

• Be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the
rear seat to fold down easily.
• Remove the center head restraint. Failure
to do so will result in the head restraint
coming in contact with the center console.
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
Locate the release lever (upper outboard side
of seat), and lift it upward until the seatback
releases.
Slowly fold down the seatback.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.
To Raise The Rear Seat
Raise the seatback and lock it into place, and
install center head restraint. If interference
from the cargo area prevents the seatback
from fully locking, you will have difficulty
returning the seat to its proper position.
NOTE:
If the rear seatback is not fully latched, the
center shoulder belt will not be able to be
extended for use. If you cannot extend the
center shoulder belt, make sure your seat-
back is fully latched.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will

not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
