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 in a 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 while some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle safely
may result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.Rollover Warning Label
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US government notes that the universal
use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a
rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

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.

MANUAL ADJUSTMENT (REAR SEATS)
The rear seats allow for three passengers.Rear Seat
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 Seatback Section Tilting
The center seatback can be tilted forward for a
“Ski Pass-Through” feature from the trunk.
Before tilting the seatback, 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 seatback from its housing and tilt it using the
head restraint.Center Seatback Section Tilting
Center Seatback Section Repositioning
Using the head restraint, lift the center portion
upwards, accompanying it during its movement,
and lightly push to make sure that it is properly
attached. Make sure that the armrest is properly
attached by attempting to move it. If it is not
attached, repeat the operation.
To Lower Rear Seat
Either side of the rear seat can be lowered to
allow for extended cargo space and still maintain
some rear seating room.
NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and
positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat -
back to fold down easily.
1. Completely lower the rear seat head
restraints
Ú
page 36.
2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn't impede the movement of the seatback while tilting it.
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.
WARNING!
The center rear seat provides minimum space
and limited occupant use. The center rear seat
has no LATCH child restraint anchorage
system and may not be used for
LATCH-equipped child car seats. See
Ú
page 158 for further information on the
LATCH anchorage system.
The center rear seat has no adjustable head
restraint. No person should sit in the center
rear seat if the top of the seatback is below
the top of the person's ear or if the lap/
shoulder belt cannot be worn in the proper
position as described. See
Ú
page 144 for
lap/shoulder operating instructions. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.

3. From inside the luggage compartment, operate lever 1 to tilt the left part or lever 2 to
tilt the right part of the seatback; it will auto -
matically tilt forward. If necessary, assist the
seatback during the initial stage of tilting.
Seat Release Levers
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 and by simply unfolding the seats 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.
NOTE:
Make sure the seat belts are in the front of the
seatback, and that they are not twisted, or
trapped behind the seatbacks.
Center Seatback Lowering
The center seatback can be folded forward for a

gers. In the event of a collision, an improperly
latched seatback could result in serious injury
or death.

The sunroof has three preset positions:
Fully closed
Comfort (intermediate opening)
Fully open
NOTE:
You cannot have the sunshade closed when the
sunroof is open.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE SUNROOF
To open the sunroofs front panel, push the open/
close button toward the rear of the vehicle to
open to the comfort position (half-way). Pushing
the button a second time will open to the fully
open position.
To close the sunroof, push the open/close button
toward the front of the vehicle. The roof will close
completely.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any
position by pushing the open/close button again.
VENTING SUNROOF
To bring the roof into vent position, push and
release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be activated
regardless of the position of the sunroof. When
starting with the roof in the closed position,
pushing the vent button automatically causes the
sunroof to open to the vent position. If the roof is
already open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the vent-opening position.
Pushing vent button again during automatic
movement of the roof will stop it.
SUNSHADE OPERATION
The front sunshade is power operated.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward
the rear of the vehicle to open the front sun shade
to the three quarter open position. Pushing the
button a second time will open the sunshade
completely.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward

button again.
To open the rear sunshade, pull sunshade
manually toward the rear of the vehicle.
PINCH PROTECT FEATURE
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system
capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle
during the closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and the
movement of the sunroof is immediately reversed
into opening.
RE-INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof operation. It
may also be necessary to re-initialize the sunroof
after the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected
and then reconnected.
NOTE:
The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during
the re-initialization procedure.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. Do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
keyless ignition in the ON/RUN position.
Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury
or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object, to project through the
sunroof opening. Injury may result.
CAUTION!
Do not open the sunroof if a luggage roof rack
or crossbars are fitted. Do not open the
sunroof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.
