WARNING
- Driver’s seat
 Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
 Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
(Continued)
For a seating position more comfort-
able to the driver and front passen-
ger, adjust the seat forward, back-
ward, up and down.✽ ✽NOTICE• Power seats are driven by the elec-
tric motor. Stop operating if the
adjustment is completed. Excessive
operation may damage the electri-
cal equipment.
• When in operation, the power seats consume large amounts of
electrical power. To prevent unnec-
essary charging system drain,
don’t adjust the power seats longer
than necessary while the engine is
not running.
• Do not operate two or more power seat control buttons at the same
time. Doing so may result in power
seat motor or electrical component
malfunction.
WARNING
 Loose objects in the driver ’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot ped-
als, possibly causing an acci-
dent. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism. Do not place any-
thing under the front seats.
 The power seats are operable
with the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
car.

cally when the seat temperature

WARNING
Driving or riding in a vehicle
with a front seatback reclined
could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a front
seat is reclined during an acci-
dent, the occupant’ s hips may
slide under the lap portion of
the safety belt applying great
force to the unprotected
abdomen or neck. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could
result. Keep the seatbacks in a
comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

jected to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehi-
cle, etc.) or if your vehicle has
become flood damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start
the vehicle or put the key in
the ignition before discon-
necting the battery. This may

Turn signalsThe ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on
the turn signals, move the lever up or
down. Green arrow indicators on the
instrument panel indicate which turn
signal is operating. They will self-
cancel after a turn is completed. If
the indicator continues to flash after
a turn, manually return the lever to
the OFF position.
Lane change signals To signal a lane change, move the
turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position. The lever will return to the
OFF position when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one
of the turn signal bulbs may be
burned out and will require replace-
ment.✽ ✽
NOTICEIf an indicator flash is abnormally
quick or slow, bulb may be burned
out or have a poor electrical con-
nection in the circuit. Automatic headlight aiming
(if equiped)
To provide better driver visibility and
reduce eye fatigue, the headlight
aiming (direction) is automatically
controlled depending on vehicle load
and vehicle angle (when vehicle is
loaded with passengers, cargo or
used for towing, the additional load
can alter the headlight aiming point
on the road surface). This system
provides constant automatic head-
light aiming under various vehicle
conditions and angles to ensure the
headlights are always pointed in the
right direction.
