CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small childrenride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for
ignoring it.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and
others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child’s size.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraintanchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• All three rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing-mounted lower
attachments.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps andtether straps so that you can attach the hook
or connector to the lower and tether
anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, pushing aside the
seat cover material. You will easily feel the
anchorage bars if you run your finger along
the intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback using the most direct path.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
GETTING STARTED
10

WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead tofailure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to
route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the
seatback using the most direct path.
WARNING!
Rearward-facing child seats must NEVERbe used in the front seat of a vehicle with
a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death
to infants in this position.
FRONT SEATS
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of
the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly
adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
Manual Seat Adjustment
Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting bar located at the front of the seat near the floor and release at
the desired position.

GETTING STARTED

Recliner
• Lift the rear lever located on the outboardside of the seat, lean back and release at the
desired position.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously
or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
Manual Lumbar Adjust Lever
• Rotate the lumbar lever downward toincrease the support or upward to decrease
the support.
Eight-Way Driver Power Seat
• The recline switch, located on the outboardside of the seat, controls seatback
adjustment.
• The power seat switch controls forward/back, up/down, and tilt adjustment.
GETTING STARTED

Four-Way Passenger Power Seat
• The recline switch, located on the outboardside of the seat, controls seatback
adjustment.
• The power seat switch controls forward/back adjustment.
CAUTION!
DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may
cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is
stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats arelocated near the bottom center of the
instrument panel (below the heater/air
conditioning controls).
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a second time to
select Low-level heating. Press the switch a
third time to shut the heating elements Off.
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 conditions 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 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.
