60/40 Split Bench Seat
If your vehicle has a 60/40 split bench, the seat(s) canbe folded for additional cargo space or folded andtumbled for easy entry and exit to the third row seats,if your vehicle has them. These seats will have eitherthe manual fold and tumble feature or the automaticseat release fold and tumble feature.
Manual Fold and Tumble Feature
Folding and Tumbling the Seat(s)
To fold and tumble the seat:
1. Make sure that there is nothing under, in front of,or on the seat.

2-10

To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle.The belt should return to its stowed position.
Before a door is closed, be sure the safety belt is out ofthe way. If a door is slammed against a safety belt,damage can occur to both the belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for thedriver and right front passenger positions.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the beltis centered on the shoulder. The belt should be awayfrom the face and neck, but not falling off the shoulder.Improper shoulder belt height adjustment could reducethe effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash.
Squeeze the buttons (A)on the sides of the heightadjuster and move theheight adjuster to thedesired position.
2-42

The adjuster can be moved up just by pushing up onthe shoulder belt guide.
After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try tomove it down without squeezing the buttons to makesure it has locked into position.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners forfront outboard occupants. Although the safety beltpretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of thesafety belt assembly. They can help tighten the safetybelts during the early stages of a moderate to severefrontal, near frontal, or rear crash if the thresholdconditions for pretensioner activation are met.And, if the vehicle has side impact airbags, safety beltpretensioners can help tighten the safety belts in a sidecrash or a rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the pretensionersactivate in a crash, they will need to be replaced, andprobably other new parts for the vehicle's safety beltsystem. SeeReplacing Restraint System Parts After aCrash on page 2!92.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
This vehicle may have rear shoulder belt comfortguides. If not, they are available through yourdealer/retailer. The guides may provide added safetybelt comfort for older children who have outgrownbooster seats and for some adults. When installed andproperly adjusted, the comfort guide positions the beltaway from the neck and head.

Universal Home Remote
System
SeeRadio Frequency Statementon page 9!20forinformation regarding Part 15 of the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) Rules andRSS-210/211 of Industry and Science Canada.
Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
This vehicle may have the Universal Home RemoteSystem. If there are three round Light EmittingDiode (LED) indicator lights above the UniversalHome Remote buttons, follow the instructions below.
This system provides a way to replace up tothree remote control transmitters used to activatedevices such as garage door openers, securitysystems, and home automation devices.
3-55

Do not use this system with any garage door openerthat does not have the stop and reverse feature. Thisincludes any garage door opener model manufacturedbefore April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting toprogram the transmitter. Because of the steps involved,it may be helpful to have another person assist withprogramming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitterfor use in other vehicles, as well as, for futureprogramming. Only the original remote controltransmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming.The programmed buttons should be erased when thevehicle is sold or the lease ends. See“ErasingUniversal Home Remote Buttons”later in this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the garage whenprogramming a garage door. Be sure that people andobjects are clear of the garage door or gate that isbeing programmed.
Programming Universal Home
Remote—Rolling Code
For questions or help programming the Universal HomeRemote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go tolearcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold after 1996 areRolling Code units.
Programming a garage door opener involvestime-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedurebefore starting. Otherwise, the device will time out andthe procedure will have to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. From inside the vehicle, press the two outsidebuttons at the same time for one to two seconds,and immediately release them.

Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three Positions
The panel of switches might not appear exactlyas they do in the examples above, but they shouldbe similar.
The switch positions on the hand-held transmittercould be labeled, as follows:
.A switch in the up position could be labeledas“Up,”“+,”or“On.”
.A switch in the down position could be labeledas“Down,”“!,”or“Off.”
.A switch in the middle position could be labeledas“Middle,”“0,”or“Neutral.”
2. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings fromleft to right as follows:
.When a switch is in the up position,write“Left.”
.When a switch is in the down position,write“Right.”
.If a switch is set between the up and downposition, write“Middle.”
The switch settings written down in Step 2 nowbecome the button strokes to be entered intothe Universal Home Remote in Step 4. Be sureto enter the switch settings written down inStep 2, in order from left to right, into theUniversal Home Remote, when completingStep 4.
3. From inside your vehicle, first firmly press allthree buttons at the same time for aboutthree seconds. Release the buttons to put theUniversal Home Remote into programming mode.

.If you wrote“Left,”press the left button inthe vehicle.
.If you wrote“Right,”press the right button inthe vehicle.
.If you wrote“Middle,”press the middle button inthe vehicle.
5. After entering all of the switch positions, again,firmly press and release all three buttons at thesame time. The indicator lights will turn on.
6. Press and hold the button that will be used tocontrol the garage door until the garage doormoves. The indicator light above the selectedbutton should slowly blink. This button may need tobe held for up to 55 seconds.
7. Immediately release the button when the garagedoor moves. The indicator light will blink rapidlyuntil programming is complete.
8. Press and release the same button again.The garage door should move, confirming thatprogramming is successful and complete.
