The height adjusting knobs are located on the
center outboard side of the seat. Rotate the
front knob to adjust the front of the seat up or
down. Rotate the rear knob to adjust the rear of
the seat up or down.
Recliner Adjustment
The recliner knob is on the rear outboard side of
the seat. To recline the seatback, lean back,
rotate the knob rearward to position the seat-
back as desired. To return the seatback to its
normal upright position, lean forward, rotate
the knob forward until the seatback is in the
upright position.Heated Seats — If Equipped

Automated Manual Transmission
— Diesel Only
Your new vehicle is equipped with an energy
efficient Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT). This transmission is a Conventional Six-
Speed Manual Transmission with an electroni-
cally controlled hydraulic system that controls
the clutch and gear shifting.
In forward gears, this transmission offers two
modes of operation: Automatic (D) Mode –
where the electronic system controls the gear
shifts, and MANUAL (M) Mode – where the
driver controls the transmission shifting by tog-
gling the gear selector rearward or forward (+/-)
to upshift or downshift.As with any new technology, the transmission
has some unique characteristics that may be
unfamiliar. These include:
• The Automated Manual Transmission must
be in NEUTRAL (N) to start the vehicle.
Press and hold the brake pedal, then place
the gear selector in NEUTRAL (N), before
attempting to start the engine.
• To drive, press the brake pedal and start the engine, then move the gear selector from
NEUTRAL (N) to the desired position.
• The actual transmission gear range (R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) is displayed in the
instrument cluster display whenever the en-
gine is running.
• When the key is turned OFF, the transmis- sion remains in its previous gear position,
regardless of the gear selector position.
• When the key is turned ON (engine off), the instrument cluster display may indicate the
gear selector position rather than the actual
transmission gear position. • Engine torque is interrupted briefly during
the transmission upshifts, making these
shifts more abrupt than a typical automatic
transmission. This is normal.
• Although transmission shifting is performed automatically, the vehicle will not "creep"
when the brake pedal is released and may in
fact roll backward on an incline. Leaving
from a stop, the accelerator pedal must be
pressed to transmit driving torque to the
wheels.
• With the vehicle at a standstill and a gear engaged, keep the brake pedal pressed until
you decide to drive away. Then release the
brake and accelerate gradually.
• Do not use the accelerator to keep the ve- hicle at a standstill (for example, holding on
a hill); the clutch could be damaged by
overheating. Use the brake pedal instead
and operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to drive away.
