Swivel Seat — If Equipped
The swivel seat lever is located at the lower
front inboard side of the seat. The seat may be
turned through 180° toward the seat on the
opposite side and approximately 35° toward
the door. The seat may be locked in the driving
position or at the 180° position. To swivel the
seat, pull the swivel seat inboard lever outward,
turn the seat to the desired position and release
the lever.
Swivel Seat Lever
If the vehicle is equipped with interlocking
swivel seats, the seats must be locked in the
facing forward position while driving. If the seats
are not in the correct position, a warning will
appear in the instrument cluster display. If the driver or the passenger seats are not
locked in the facing forward position before the
first vehicle movement, shifting out of park is
not allowed until the seats are both locked in
the facing forward position. When the seats are
not in the right position and the first vehicle
movement after ignition START is attempted, a
chime and a message will appear in the instru
-
ment cluster display. Rotate and lock the swivel
seats in the correct position before trying again.
If the driver or the passenger seats are not
locked in the facing forward position during
movement of the vehicle, a message will appear
in the instrument cluster display and an inter -
mittent chime will sound until key-off or until the
swivel seats are locked in the facing forward
position. Stop and move the swivel seats in the
correct position before proceeding.
If a fault is present in the system and it is not
possible to check the correct position of the
swivel seats, a message and the generic
warning light appears in the instrument cluster
display to inform about the failure. In these
conditions, check the status of the swivel seats
and do not drive the vehicle until the swivel
seats are locked in the facing forward position.
Heated Seats — If Equipped

key in the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position or
removed, by moving the end of the multifunc -
tion lever to O (off) position and then to the
headlight position. The warning light telltale in the instrument
panel comes on. The lights stay on until the next
ignition cycle is performed.

choose to have the headlights remain on for a
preset period of time.
Activation
Remove the key or turn the ignition to the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position, and pull the multifunction
lever toward the steering wheel, within two
minutes. Each time the lever is pulled, the acti
-
vation of the lights will be extended by 30
seconds. The activation of the lights can be
extended to a maximum of 210 seconds.
The warning light on the instrument panel will
light up and the corresponding message will
appear in the instrument cluster display for as
long as the function is activated. The warning
light comes on when the lever is operated and
stays on until the function is automatically deac -
tivated. Each movement of the lever only
increases the amount of time the lights stay on.

Instrument Cluster Descriptions
1. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
2. Instrument Cluster Display
When the appropriate conditions exist,
this display shows instrument cluster
display messages. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in this chapter for further
information.
Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Area
US Federal regulations require that upon
transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller
certify to the purchaser the correct mileage
that the vehicle has been driven. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced,
the repair technician should leave the odom -
eter reading the same as it was before the
repair or service. If the technician cannot do
so, then the odometer must be set at zero,
and a sticker must be placed in the door
jamb stating what the mileage was before the
repair or service. It is a good idea for you to
make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/service, so that you can be
sure that it is properly reset, or that the door
jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer must
be reset at zero.
Gear Selector Status (PRND)
The gear selector status “P,R,N,D,1,2,3,4,5,
6” are displayed indicating the gear selector
position. Telltales “1,2,3,4,5,6” indicate the
manual mode has been engaged and the
gear selected is displayed. Refer to “Auto -
matic Transmission” in “Starting And Oper -
ating” for further information on Electronic
Range Select (ERS).
3. Tachometer
This gauge measures engine revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000). Before the
pointer reaches the red area, ease up on
the accelerator to prevent engine
damage.
4. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading within
the normal range indicates that the
engine cooling system is operating satis-
factorily.
The pointer will likely indicate a higher
temperature when driving in hot weather
or up mountain grades. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of the
normal operating range.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by steam
or boiling coolant. You may want to call an
authorized dealer for service if your vehicle
overheats. If you decide to look under the
hood yourself, refer to “Cooling System” in
“Servicing And Maintenance” and follow the
warnings under the Cooling System Pressure
Cap paragraph.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads “H,” pull over and
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H,” turn the engine off
immediately and call an authorized dealer for
service.
