Child-Protection Door Lock System
This system prevents the sliding side doors from
being opened from the inside.

Child Lock System

To Engage Or Disengage The Child-Protection
Door Lock System

1. Open the rear door.

2. Insert the tip of the mechanical key into the lock and rotate to the lock or unlock
position. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the opposite rear
door.
The device remains engaged even if the doors
are unlocked remotely. This system prevents
the sliding side doors from being opened from
the inside.
NOTE:
For emergency exit from the rear seats when
the Child-Protection Door Lock System is
engaged, manually raise the door lock knob to
the unlocked position, roll down the window,
and open the door using the outside door
handle.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a
collision. Remember that the rear doors can
only be opened from the outside when the
Child-Protection locks are engaged (locked).
WARNING!
It is 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. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seri -
ously injured or killed.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.

Manual Adjustment (Front Seats)
The front driver and passenger seats can be
adjusted forward and rearward, and (if

lumbar can be adjusted.
Forward And Rearward Adjustment
The adjustment bar is at the front of the 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.

center outboard side of the seat. Lift up or push
down on the front lever to adjust the front of the
seat up or down.
Height Adjustment Lever

WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the seat belts and while the vehicle is
parked. Serious injury or death could result
from a poorly adjusted seat belt.

21_VM_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 18

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE19
Recliner Adjustment
The recliner knob is on the rear outboard side of
the seat. To recline the seatback, rotate the
knob rearward without leaning back. To return
the seatback to its normal upright position, lean
forward, rotate the knob forward until the
seatback is in the upright position.

Recliner Knob

Lumbar Support — If Equipped
This feature allows you to increase or decrease
the amount of lumbar support. The lumbar
control knob is located on the rear upper
outboard side of the seatback. Rotate the
control forward to increase and rearward to
decrease the desired amount of lumbar
support.
Lumbar Control Knob
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving
is dangerous. The sudden movement of the
seat could cause you to lose control. The
seat belt might not be adjusted properly
and you could be injured. Adjust the seat
only while the vehicle is parked.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could
slide under the seat belt and be seriously or
even fatally injured. Use the recliner only
when the vehicle is parked.

CARGO AREA FEATURES
Rear Cargo Tie-Downs
To make it easier to secure your load, there are
hooks fixed to the floor (if equipped).
Rear Cargo Tie-Downs (Cargo Version)
Rear Cargo Tie-Downs (Passenger Version)
NOTE:
Power washing is not allowed inside the cargo
area.
INTERIOR STORAGE AND EQUIPMENT
Storage
Glove Compartment
The glove compartment is located on the
passenger side of the instrument panel.
To open the glove compartment, pull the
release handle.
WARNING!
To help protect against personal injury,
passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is
intended for load carrying purposes only,
not for passengers, who should sit in seats
and use seat belts.
Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors
for a child seat tether strap. In a sudden
stop or accident, a hook could pull loose
and allow the child seat to come loose. A
child could be badly injured. Use only the
anchors provided for child seat tethers.
The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle’s center
of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss
of control resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
Do not carry loads which exceed the load
limits described on the label attached to
the left door or left door center pillar.
Always place cargo evenly on the cargo
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far
forward as possible.
Place as much cargo as possible in front of
the rear axle. Too much weight or improp -
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to
sway.
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the
top of the seatback. This could impair visi-
bility or become a dangerous projectile in a
sudden stop or accident.

Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
When the ignition is first placed in the
ON/RUN or MAR/ON/RUN position, if
the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a
chime will sound and the light will turn
on. When driving, if the driver or front passenger
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will flash or remain on
continuously and a chime will sound
Ú page 153.

This light monitors the ABS. The light
will turn on when the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN or MAR/ON/RUN
position and may stay on for as long
as four seconds.

required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the
brake warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should

Warning Light Failure. Contact an authorized
dealer immediately for service.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when
the Transmission Temperature Warning Light
is illuminated you could cause the fluid to boil
over, come in contact with hot engine or
exhaust components and cause a fire.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission
damage or transmission failure.
