A CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is fn motion can
be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do
their job when you’re redined like this.
r
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could
go into it, receiving neck or other injuries,
The lay belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the belt could go
up over pur abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at
your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.

Lumbar Control Option
If you have this feature, you can change the shape of the driver and
passenger seats. It works independently
of the other seat controls. Use
the power seat control first to get the proper position. Then proceed with
the lumbar adjustment.
The LUMBAR control switches are located on the center console. You
can control either the
DR (Driver) or PASS (Passenger) seat.

Heated Seat Option
Move the switch to either LO or HI to turn on the heating element in the
seat.
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

the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatica\

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.
Head Restraints

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.
SAFETYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EKERYONE
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells you some things you should not do with safety
belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.

A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they cadt wear a safety beIt
properly. If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety
belt, your injuries can be much worse, You can hit things inside
the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or
killed. in the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.
This figure lights up when you turn the key to “Run” or “Start” when
your safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime,
too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law
says to wear safety belts.
Here’s
why: They work.
You never know
if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt even if you’re
not buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a
train, 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 be badly hurt or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling
up does matter ... a lot!

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.

--AND THE
Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle afler an accident if I’m wearing a safety
belt?
A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And
your chance
of being conscious during and after an accident, so you
- can unbuckle and get out, is - much greater if you are belted.
Q t Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: ‘Air bags,” or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and
will be in more of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
-- so they work with safety belts, not
instead
of them. Every “air bag” system ever offered for sale has
