Manual Front Seat Adjustment
On models equipped with manual seats, the adjusting bar is located at the front of
the seats, near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move the seat
forward or rearward. Release the bar once you have reached the desired position.
Then, using body pressure, move forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that the
seat adjusters have latched.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous. Moving a seat while drivingcould 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.
Manual Seat Height Adjustment
The driver's seat height can be raised or lowered by using a lever, located on the
outboard side of the seat. Pull upward on the lever to raise the seat height or push
downward on the lever to lower the seat height.

Manual Lumbar
The lumbar adjustment handle is located on the inboard or outboard side of the
seatback. Rotate the lever downward to increase the lumbar support or rotate the
lever upward to decrease the lumbar support.
Driver's Seatback Recline
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean
back to the desired angle and release the lever. To return the seatback, lift the lever,
lean forward and release the lever.
WARNING!
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.
REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seat
To provide additional storage area, each rear seatback can be folded forward. Pull the
strap forward to fold the rear seatback flat.
To raise the seatback, pull the strap forward and lift the seatback into its upright
position.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.

Reclining Rear Seat
For additional comfort, pull the strap forward just enough to release the seatback
latch. Then push the seatback to a reclined position, approximately 35 degrees
maximum, and release the strap.
WARNING!
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 and be
seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
HEATED SEATS
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 area.
You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one
for LO and none for OFF.
Push the switch once to select HI-level
heating. Push the switch a second time to
select LO-level heating. Push the switch
a third time to shut the heating elements
OFF.
When the HI-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level
during the initial stages of operation.
Then, the heat output will drop to the
normal HI-level. If the HI-level setting is
selected, the system will automatically
switch to LO-level after approximately 30
minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the display will change from HI to
LO, indicating the change. When the LO-
level heating is selected, the system au-
tomatically turns the heater and the indicator light OFF after approximately 30
minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes.

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.Never leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped
by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrap-
ment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.

– Transmission Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might
occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, you will
experience reduced vehicle performance until the automatic transmission cools
down. If the overheating continues, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle, with
the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light turns off. Once the light turns off, you
may continue to drive normally.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature Warning Light illuminated
will eventually cause severe transmission damage or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated you could cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot
engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.
– Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on
for four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver's seat
belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver or front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light
will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to “Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To
Know Before Starting” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
– Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays
on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could
lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend
you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
– Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light
If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you do not
operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
