The Control Panel is located on the center console.
Move the switch to
either
LO or HI to
turn on the heating
element
in the seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use
on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature. On colder days, the
HI setting heats the seats to an
even higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to
automatically maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale
light in the control switch reminds
you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is turned on, and are deactivated
when the ignition is turned off.

Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest
to the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a crash. The head
restraints
tilt forward and rearward also.
You can also tilt the headrest back and forth.

The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the back seat.
Your seatback
will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it
will lock in place.
To fold the seatback forward after the seatback has locked, push the
seatback toward the rear as you
lift the latch on the back of the seatback.
Then the seatback
will fold forward. The latch must be down for the seat
to work properly.
The seatbacks
will lock when your parked going down a fairly steep hill.
The seatback
will also lock if the seat is positioned where the seatback is
straight up, with the front portion of the cushion full down, and the rear
portion is
in a full up position.

This part of the manua1:tells you.how to use safety belts.properly. It also
tells you some things you should not do<.with safety belts.

system.
This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. .(See “Safety Belt
Reminder bight”
in the Index.)
i In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here’s
why: They work.

know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are in between.
In many
of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have
been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In
most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot!

or the safety belts!
With safety belts, you
slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time
to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the
forces. That's why safety belts make such
good sense.
