WARNING!(Continued)
• Being too close to the Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during
deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you
are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that
small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you
can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
•Four-Doormodels: The rear outboard seating positions have lower
anchors, and all three rear seating positions have top tether anchors.
Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the
outboard positions only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can
be used in all three seating positions.Neverinstall LATCH-compatible
child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchorage.
Four-Door Model
GETTING STARTED
13
Page 16 of 124

•Two-doormodels can accommodate flexible LATCH-compatible child
seats in the two outboard seating positions only. Both rear seating
positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors. Child seats with
fixed or flexible LATCH-compatible attachments can be installed in either
outboard seating position.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on
the lower straps and tether 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. For the outboard seating
positions, route the tether underneath the head rest and attach the hook
to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
• Tighten all three straps as you
push the child restraint rearward
and downward into the seat.

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. For
the outboard seating positions, route the tether underneath the head
rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the
seat.
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 severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be
severely 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.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of
a vehicle with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment
could cause infants in this position to be severely injured or killed.

FRONT SEATS
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.
Height Adjustment
• Ratchet the front lever, located on
the outboard side of the seat,
upward to raise the seat height.
• Ratchet the lever downward to
lower the seat height.
Recliner
• Lift the recliner lever located on
the outboard side of the seat, lean
back and release at the desired
position.
Driver’s and Passenger Easy Entry Seats (Two-Door)
• Push the lever on the seatback
rearward (toward the rear of the
vehicle) to tilt the entire seat
forward.
• To return the seat to a sitting
position, rotate the seatback
upright until it locks. Push the seat
rearward until the track locks.
NOTE:
• If equipped with a combination lever, the seatback will return to its first
locked position. The recliner handle will have to be actuated to adjust the
seatback to the desired reclined position.
GETTING STARTED
16
Page 19 of 124

• The front passenger seats have a track memory which returns the seat to
just past the halfway point of the track, regardless of its original position.
• The recliner and easy entry levers should not be used during the automatic
returning of the seat to its fully upright position.
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 severely
injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
• 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 severely injured or killed. Use the recliner
only when the vehicle is parked.
REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seat
• Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This
will allow the rear seat to fold down easily.
To Fold The Rear Seat
• Lift the seatback release lever and fold the seatback forward (two-door
models).
• Slowly flip the entire seat
(two-door models) forward.
GETTING STARTED
17
Page 20 of 124

• Locate the pull strap, located on the outboard side of the seat, and pull it
toward you until the seatback releases (four-door models).
To Raise The Rear Seat
• Lift up on the seatback to return it to the upright position.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of
a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely
to be severely injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
• 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 you or others to be severely
injured or killed.

HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats
are located 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.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch
to Low-level after approximately 30 minutes. The Low-level setting will
turn Off automatically after approximately 30 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 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 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.
