Driver Memory Seat
Storing and recalling can be done with the
ignition in the ON mode, vehicle speed at
0 mph (0 km/h), and the driver’s side door
closed, or for three minutes after having
opened the driver's side door. An audible
chime is heard to confirm a memory
profile is set or recalled. To set a memory
profile, first adjust your seat (and power
mirror position if desired) until you are in
the desired position. Then, push the
memory button you want to assign the
set position to for 1.5 seconds. When a
new seat position is memorized, the
previously memorized position on the
same button is automatically
overwritten. Recalling a memorized
position can also be done for
approximately three minutes after the
doors are opened and for approximately
one minute after the engine is stopped.
To recall a memorized position, push the
assigned button briefly.
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.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
Sparco Racing Seats, they will not be
equipped with the heated seat feature.
With the engine in the ON position, push
the driver or passenger heated seat
button
located on the instrument
panel.
You can select three heating levels:
Maximum — three LED indicators
illuminated on the buttons.
Average — two LED indicators
illuminated on the buttons.
Minimum — one LED indicator
illuminated on the buttons. After selecting a heating level, heat will
be felt within a few minutes.
A quick push of the heated seat button
will select the heat levels in order of
highest to lowest. A fourth push of the
button will turn the heated seat off.
The “minimum” setting is automatically
deactivated once a certain period of time
has elapsed. This varies on a
case-by-case basis, in accordance with
the specific operating conditions.
Rear Heated Seats
If equipped with rear heated seats, the
controls can be found on the rear of the
center console and will function the same
as the front heated seat controls.
Note:
To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.
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 condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat
04066S0004EM1Heated Seat Buttons
27

that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
Rear Seats
The rear seats allow for three
passengers.
Note:Because the rear seat is designed
as a 4+1 seat, the middle seat is of
limited use. It is recommended that this
seat only be used by a person who can
use the backrest as a substitute for the
head restraint.
The seats and the seatbelts are
considered as components of the
protection system for the vehicle's
occupants.
Note: Refer to the "Seat Belt Systems"
in "Safety" for further information.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
Head restraints should be adjusted so
that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
Warning!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.
Do not place items over the top of the
Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of
a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.
Sparco Racing Seat Head Restraints —
If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with
non-adjustable head restraints on the
driver's and passenger's seatbacks. The non-adjustable head restraints
consist of a trimmed foam covering over
the upper structure of the seatbacks and
are intended to help protect you and the
passenger from neck injury.
Adjust the seatbacks to their upright,
on-road positions so that the head
restraint is positioned as close as
possible to the back of your head.
Front Head Restraints (Adjustments)
— If Equipped
The front head restraints may be
height-adjustable. To adjust them,
operate as follows:
Upward adjustment: Raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment: Push the
adjustment button and push downward
on the head restraint to lower.
Warning!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat
until the head restraints are placed in their
proper positions in order to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the restraint
systems:
Occupant Restraint Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems
(SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in
this section may be standard equipment
on some models, or may be optional
equipment on others. If you are not sure,
ask an authorized dealer.
Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take
to minimize the risk of harm from a
deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in the rear
seat of a vehicle with a rear seat. 2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in
a rear-facing child restraint) must ride in
the front passenger seat, move the seat
as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint (refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information).
3. Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly (refer
to “Child Restraints” in this section for
further information) should be secured in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat
in child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do not
use child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in the rear seat of a vehicle
with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under their
arm.
5. You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or
window. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air bags
will inflate forcefully into the space
between occupants and the door and
occupants could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate a
disabled person, refer to the “Customer
Assistance” section for customer service
contact information.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and could cause a collision that
includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
