Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
Rear seat comfort guides may provide added safety belt
comfort for older children who have outgrown booster
seats and for some adults. When installed on a shoulder
belt, the comfort guide positions the belt away from
the neck and head.
There is one guide for each outside passenger in the
rear seat. Here is how to install a comfort guide and use
the safety belt:
1. Remove the guide from its storage clip on the
interior body.
2. Place the guide over the belt and insert the
two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide.

shoulder and across the chest. These parts
of the body are best able to take belt
restraining forces.
4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as
described inRear Seat Passengers on page 1-24.
Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the
shoulder.
To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the
belt edges together so that you can take them out of the
guides. Slide the guide onto the storage clip.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,
you should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer will
order you an extender. It is free. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the
extender will be long enough for you. To help avoid
personal injury, do not let someone else use it, and use
it only for the seat it is made to t. The extender has
been designed for adults. Never use it for securing child
seats. To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety
belt. For more information, see the instruction sheet that
comes with the extender.

Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has this feature, the lines you see on the
rear window warm the glass. The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.
If your vehicle has a sliding rear window, you will not
have a rear window defogger, however, you will
still have a rear window defogger button to activate the
heated outside rearview mirrors, if equipped.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button
will come on to let you know that the rear window
defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will automatically turn off
several minutes after the button is pressed. Pressing the
button while the defogger is running can also turn off
the defogger.
W(Mirror):If your vehicle is equipped with heated
mirrors, press this button to activate them. On some
vehicles without a rear window defogger, this button will
be present to control the outside heated mirrors.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere anything
to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass. These
actions may damage the rear defogger. Repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side
of your instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow,
or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The
heater and defroster will work far better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
fan knob all the way to the right for a few moments
before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may affect the
performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.

the wing nut on the cover counterclockwise to

cushion to access the tools.
