Seat Belts For Older Children
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat
belts instead of using child restraints.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether
the seat belt properly fits the child or if they
should still use a Group 2 or Group 3 child
restraint to improve the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the
back of the vehicle seat?2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over
the front of the vehicle seat – while they are
still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s
shoulder between their neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs and not their
stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?If the answer to any of these questions was
“no,” then the child still needs to use a Group 2
or 3 child restraint in this vehicle. If the child is
using the lap/shoulder belt, check belt fit peri-
odically and make sure the seat belt buckle is
latched. A child’s squirming or slouching can
move the belt out of position. If the shoulder belt
contacts the face or neck, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle, or use a booster
seat to position the seat belt on the child
correctly.

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.
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.
Adjusting The Seat Forward Or Rearward
The seat can be adjusted both forward and
rearward. Push the seat switch forward or rear-
ward. The seat will move in the direction of theswitch. Release the switch when the desired
position has been reached.
Adjusting The Seat Up Or Down
The height of the seats can be adjusted up or
down. Pull upward or push downward on the
seat switch. The seat will move in the direction
of the switch. Release the switch when the
desired position is reached.
Tilting The Seat Up Or Down
The angle of the seat cushion can be adjusted
in four directions. Pull upward or push down-
ward on the front or rear of the seat switch, the
front or rear of the seat cushion will move in the
direction of the switch. Release the switch when
the desired position is reached.
Heated Seats — If EquippedOn some models, the front driver and passen-
ger 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 switchindicate 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 sec-
ond 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 min-
utes 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 automatically 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.

WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, 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.
Manual Front Seat AdjustmentOn 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 thedesired position. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be
sure that the seat adjusters have latched.

TRAILER TOWING
In this section you will find safety tips and
information on limits to the type of towing you
can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before
towing a trailer, carefully review this information
to tow your load as efficiently and safely as
possible.
To maintain the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
coverage, follow the requirements and recom-
mendations in this manual concerning vehicles
used for trailer towing.
Common Towing DefinitionsThe following trailer towing related definitions
will assist you in understanding the following
information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your
vehicle. This includes driver, passengers,
cargo, and tongue weight. The total load must
be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the
weight of all cargo, consumables and equip-ment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on
the trailer in its"loaded and ready for operation"
condition.
The recommended way to measure GTW is to
put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
The entire weight of the trailer must be sup-
ported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The GCWR is the total permissible weight of
your vehicle and trailer when weighed in com-
bination.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front
and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do
not exceed either front or rear GAWR.
WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed the
maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either rating is
exceeded.Tongue Weight (TW)
The tongue weight is the downward force ex-
erted on the hitch ball by the trailer. Tongue
weight must not exceed the lesser of either the
hitch certification rating, or the trailer tongue
chassis rating. You must consider tongue load
as part of the load on your vehicle and its
GAWR.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted hitch system may
reduce handling, stability and braking perfor-
mance and could result in an accident. Con-
sult with your hitch and trailer manufacturer
or a reputable trailer/caravan dealer for ad-
ditional information.
Frontal Area
The frontal area is the maximum height multi-
plied by the maximum width of the front of a
trailer.
