Central Backrest Section Repositioning
Using the head restraint, lift the central portion
upwards, manually guiding it back into place.
Lightly push to make sure that it is properly
latched. Make sure that the armrest is prop-
erly latched by gently trying to move it. If it is
not latched, repeat the operation.
Repositioning The Backrests
Move the seat belts to the side, making sure
that they are correctly extended and not
twisted. Also make sure that they are not
caught on anything behind the backrests of
the seats. Then, lift the backrests by pushing
them rearward until you hear the lock click into
place on both attachment mechanisms.
Extending The Luggage Compartment
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to
provide an additional storage area.
Extending the right side of the luggage
compartment allows you to carry two passen -
gers on the left part of the rear seat, while
extending the left side allows you to carry one
passenger. Proceed as follows:
1. Completely lower the rear seat head
restraints

2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn't impede the movement of the backrest
while tilting it.
3. Pull the left-hand seat back release lever (inside the luggage compartment or the
release at the base of the rear seat acces -
sible from the rear doors) to fold down the
left side, or the right-hand seat back
release lever to fold down the right side of
the backrest. It will fold forwards automat-
ically. If necessary, assist the backrest
during the initial stage of tilting.
Seat Back Release Lever In Luggage Compartment
NOTE:

Pull both seat back release levers to fold
down both backrests. Tilting the rear seat
completely forward allows for maximum
loading volume.
You may need to move the front seats
forward in order for the rear seats to fold
forward completely.
Seat Back Release Lever Below Rear Seat
It is also possible to disengage the sections of
the rear seat from inside the luggage compart -
ment or by using one of the two levers located
below the rear seat. Each lever folds down the
section of the backrest on the same side.
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.

panel lights, rotate the headlight switch clock-
wise to the position. All of the parking lights
will turn on for eight minutes, and opening the
door activates an audible warning.

This is a system combined with Xenon head -
lights (Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp, if equipped)
which directs the headlights horizontally, and
continuously and automatically adapts them
to the driving conditions around bends or
when cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light up
the road in the best way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle and the bend or
corner angle, as well as the speed at which the
steering wheel is turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is started.

the flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located
below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.

NOTE:

Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort
conditions to provide cooler air out of the
panel outlets and warmer air from the floor
outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets. This setting heats
the passenger compartment the quickest.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor,
defrost, and side window demister
outlets. This setting works best in
cold or snowy conditions that require
extra heat to the windshield. This setting is
good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost And Panel Mode
Air flow is distributed between the
windshield demisting/defrosting
vents and side/central dashboard
vents. This setting allows air to flow
to the windshield on sunny days.
