KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a key start ignition system.
The ignition system consists of a key fob with
a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and an igni-
tion switch.
The key fob contains an integrated mechani-
cal key. To use the mechanical key, simply
push the mechanical key release button.
The vehicle is supplied with a code card
containing key code numbers to order dupli-
cate keys, and the authorized dealer that sold
you your new vehicle has the key code num-
bers for your vehicle locks. These numbers
can be used to order duplicate keys.Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the
doors from distances up to approximately
66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held key fob. The
key fob does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system. NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s wire-
less signal.
To Unlock The Doors
Push and release the unlock button on key
fob once to unlock only the front doors. Push
and release the cargo unlock button on key
fob once to unlock the cargo area (rear lateral
sliding doors and rear door). The turn signal
lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock
signal.
To Lock The Doors
Push and release the lock button on the key
fob to lock all doors. The turn signal lights
will flash to acknowledge the signal; the horn
will chirp too during turn signal lights flash-
ing.
If a door is open, the turn signal lights will
flash at an increased rate, and there will be
no horn chirp. This is to indicate that a door is
still open.

SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
On 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 lower outboard side of the seat.

NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be
felt within two to five minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain tothe skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion 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. Sit-
ting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the
increased surface temperature of the
seat.
Adjustable Armrests —
If Equipped
The seat adjustable armrest can be raised
and adjusted for height. Underneath the front
of the armrest is the adjuster wheel which will
adjust the height of the armrest up or down.
Turn the adjuster wheel to the right or left to
adjust the height of the armrest up or down.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the
risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impact. Head restraints
should be adjusted so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
• All occupants, including the driver,should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
• Head restraints should never be ad-
justed while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.

tions make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Push the lever upward to the MIST
position and release for a single wiping cycle.
