WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while
driving. Adjusting the steering column while
driving or driving with the steering column
unlocked, could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers of any
type or material) which could interfere with
the capacitive hand detection sensor on the
steering wheel of the Active Blind Spot Assist
(ABSA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Traffic
Jam Assist (TJA) or Highway Assist (HAS)
systems (if equipped).
WARNING!
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering sys -
tem or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device) that could
adversely affect performance. Doing so could
void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, cause
SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS INCLUDING
INJURY, and could result in the vehicle not
meeting applicable government
safety regulations.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care when
using the steering wheel heater. It may
cause burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering wheel
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or steering wheel covers of any type
and material. This may cause the steering
wheel heater to overheat.

different memory profiles for easy recall through
a memory switch. Each memory profile saves
desired position settings for the following
features:
Driver seat
Side mirrors
The memory setting switch is located on the
outboard side of the driver’s seat. The switch

To create a new memory profile, perform the
following:
1. Place the vehicle’s ignition in the ACC posi -
tion (do not start the engine), and make sure
the driver’s door is closed.

minutes after the driver’s door has been opened.
2. Adjust all memory profile settings to desired preferences, driver’s seat and mirror posi -
tions.
3. Push and hold the memory button you want to program for 1.5 seconds. A chime will

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 seriously
injured or killed.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.

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.
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, which could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat or
impede its ability to move as it may cause
damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may
become limited if movement is stopped by an
obstruction in the seat's path.
WARNING!
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the
top of the seatback. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden
stop or collision.

Split Folding Rear Seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to
provide an additional storage area.
Extending the right side of the trunk allows you to
carry two passengers on the left part of the rear
seat, while extending the left side allows you to
carry one passenger.
Center Backrest Section Tilting
The center backrest can be tilted forward for a
“Ski Pass-Through” feature from the trunk.
Before tilting the backrest, make sure that the
rear center seat belt is not fastened and that
there are not any objects in the middle part of the
cushion.
Using the release strap, release the center part of
the backrest from its housing and tilt it using the
head restraint.Center Backrest Section Tilting Center Backrest Section Repositioning

to the open position, over time the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape.
To Raise Rear Seat
Raise the rear seatback and lock it into place. If
interference from the cargo area prevents the
seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty
returning the seat to its proper position.
