SWIVEL SEAT — IF EQUIPPED
The swivel seat lever is located at the lower front inboard
side of the seat. The seat may be turned through 180°
toward the seat on the opposite side and approximately
35° toward the door. The seat may be locked in the
driving position or at the 180° position. To swivel the
seat, pull the swivel seat lever outward, turn the seat to
the desired position and release the lever. The swivel seat
back lever is located at the lower front outboard side of
the seat, to tilt the seat back forward or rearward.
If the vehicle is equipped with interlocking swivel seats,
the seats must be locked in facing forward position while
driving. If the seats are not in the correct position, a
warning will display in the EVIC.
If the driver or the passenger seats are not locked in
facing forward position before the first vehicle move-
ment, the Transmission is forced in Neutral position until
the seats are both locked in facing forward position.When the seats are not in the right position and the first
vehicle movement after the cranking is attempted, a
chime and a text message will appear in EVIC. Rotate
and lock the swivel seats in the correct position before
trying again.
If the driver or the passenger seats are not locked in
facing forward position during the first vehicle move-
ment, a text message will be visualized in the EVIC and
an intermittent chime will sound until key-off or until the
swivel seats are locked in facing forward position. Stop
and move the swivel seats in the correct position before

7. Odometer/Trip Odometer/Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) Display Area
This display indicates the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair
technician should leave the odometer reading the same
as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so,
then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must
be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was
before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to
make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/
service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or
that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer
must be reset at zero.Shift Lever Position/Transmission Gear Range
The transmission gear range “R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6” is
displayed in the EVIC whenever the engine is running.
With key on/engine off, the display may indicate the
shift lever position rather than the actual transmission
gear position. Refer to “Shift Lever/Transmission Gear
Position” under “Automated Manual Transmission” for
further information.
