Manual Front Seat Recline Adjustment
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean back to the desired
position and release the lever. To return the
seatback, lift the lever, lean forward and release
the lever.

Recline Lever

Fold-Forward Front Passenger Seat —
If Equipped
This feature allows for extended cargo space.
When the seat is folded flat, it is an extension of
the load floor surface (allowing long cargo to fit
from the rear hatch up to the instrument panel).
The fold-forward seatback has a softback surface
that you can use as a work surface when the seat
is folded forward and the vehicle is not in motion.
Pull upward on the recline lever to fold or unfold
the seat.
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.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT (REAR SEATS)
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With
Fold-Flat Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat
can be folded flat. This allows for extended cargo
space and still maintains some rear seating room.
NOTE:Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be necessary
to position the front seat to its mid-track position.
Also, be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat
to fold down easily.
WARNING!
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.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control. Adjust any seat
only while the vehicle is parked.
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.

of the vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on
that side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when
the hazard warning lights are activated).

Overhead Light Switches

To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 15 minutes after the ignition is
placed in the OFF position. This will occur if the
interior lights were turned on manually or are on
because a door is open. This includes the glove
compartment light and the cargo area light. To
restore interior light operation, either place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position, or push the light
switch on and then back off.
Instrument Panel Dimmer Control
The instrument panel dimmer control is part of the
headlight switch and is located on the driver’s side
of the instrument panel. Rotating the instrument panel dimmer up or down
will adjust the brightness of the instrument panel
lights
ONLY when the parking lights or headlights
are turned on, AND ONLY if the built in light sensor
determines that the ambient light levels are low
enough that the backlighting should be enabled.

Instrument Panel Dimmer
Instrument Panel Dimmer (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)

Ambient Light Control — If Equipped
Rotate the ambient dimmer control upward or
downward to increase or decrease the brightness
of the ambient light located in the overhead
console, door handle lights, lights under the

front defrost, and when the ambient tempera -
ture is below 33°F (0.6°C).
Activation By Rear Defrost — The Windshield
Wiper De-Icer shall be activated automatically
when the rear defrost is turned on and when the
ambient temperature is below 33°F (0.6°C).
Activation By Remote Start Operation (If

the outside ambient temperature is less than
33°F (0.6°C), the Windshield Wiper De-Icer will
be enabled. Exiting Remote Start will resume its
previous operation. If the Windshield Wiper
De-Icer was active, the timer and operation will
continue.

Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct 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 condi -
tions 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, side window demister outlets,
and panel outboard outlets.
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and side
window demist outlets. When the defrost
button is selected, the blower level may
increase. Use Defrost mode with
maximum temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting and
defogging. When toggling the front defrost mode
button, the Climate Control system will return to
the previous setting.
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. A slight amount of air is also directed
through the panel outboard outlets.
Climate Control OFF Button
