SEATS
Manual Adjustment
Forward / Rearward
To move the seat forward or rearward,
pull the adjustment bar. Release the bar
once the desired position is reached.
Using body pressure, move forward
and rearward on the seat to be sure
that the seat adjusters have latched.
Height
To adjust the height for front edge of
the seat bottom, rotate the dial to the
desired position.Seat Recline
To recline the seatback, lift up the
recline lever, lean back until the desired
position has been reached, and release
the lever. Make sure the lever returns to
its original position and the seatback is
locked in place by attempting to push it
forward and rearward.
Warning!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined
so that the shoulder belt is no longer
resting against your chest. In a collision
you could slide under the seat belt, which
could result in serious injury or death.
Heated Seats
On some models, the front driver and
passenger seats may be equipped with
heaters in both the seat cushions and
seatbacks. The controls for the front
heated seats are located on the center
instrument panel.
The heated seats have three settings;
High, Medium, and Low. Push the
switch once to turn the heated seats on
High, twice for Medium, and three times
for Low.
Note:
If the ignition is switched OFF while
the seat warmer is operating (High,
Mid or Low) and then switched ON
again, the seat warmer will
automatically operate at the
temperature set before switching off
the ignition.
Use the seat warmer when the
engine is running. Leaving the seat
warmer on for long periods with the
engine not running could discharge the
battery.
The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low.

Once a heat setting is selected,
heat will be felt within two to five
minutes.
Warning!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
Caution!
Do not use organic solvents to clean the
seat. It may damage the seat surface and
the heater.
NON-ADJUSTABLE
HEAD RESTRAINTS
The non-adjustable head restraints are
form fitted into the upper structure of
the seatback and are designed to
reduce the risk of injury by restricting
head movement in the event of a rear
impact. The seatback should be
properly adjusted to an upright position
where the head restraint is positioned
as close as possible to the back of your
head.
Warning!
Be certain that the seatback is locked
securely into position. Otherwise, the seat
will not provide the proper stability for
passengers. An improperly latched
seatback could cause serious injury.

OVERHEATING
Overheating
In any of the following situations, you
can reduce the potential for overheating
by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place
the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do
not increase engine idle speed.
Note: There are steps that you can
take to slow down an impending
overheat condition:
If your air conditioner (A/C) is on,
turn it off. The A/C system adds heat
to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove
this heat.
You can also turn the temperature
control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower control
to high. This allows the heater core to
act as a supplement to the radiator
and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
Warning!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
Caution!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge
reads “H”, pull over and stop the vehicle.
Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on
the “H”, turn the engine off immediately,
and call for service.
If Steam Is Coming From The
Engine Compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine. Wait until the steam
dissipates, then open the hood and
start the engine. If Neither Coolant Nor Steam Is
Escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until
it cools.
Note:
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and contact an authorized
dealer.
If the engine continues to overheat
or frequently overheats, have the
cooling system inspected. The engine
could be seriously damaged unless
repairs are made. Contact an
authorized dealer.

Engine Oil
Warning!
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned.
Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury.
Loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
Recommended Oil
Refer to “Fluids and Lubricants”
paragraph in “Technical Specifications”
chapter.
Inspecting engine oil level
Proceed as follows:
1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal
operating temperature.
3. Turn it off and wait at least five
minutes for the oil to return to the
sump.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
and reinsert it fully. 5. Pull the dipstick out again and
examine the level. The level is normal if
it is between Low and Full. If it is near
or below Low, open the engine oil
cap/filler 2 and add enough oil to bring
the level to Full.
Note:
Do not overfill the engine oil.
This may cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick
is positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.
7. Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Engine oil consumption
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should stabilize after the first 3000 –
3500 miles (5000 – 6000 km).
Engine Coolant
Warning!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
Inspecting Coolant Level
Note: Changing the coolant should be
done by your Authorized Dealer.
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year, at the beginning of
the winter season, and before traveling
where temperatures may drop below
freezing.
Inspect the condition and connections
of all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are worn or
deteriorated.
