HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Essential Information
Each time direction instructions (left/right or
forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are
given, these must be intended as regarding
an occupant in the driver's seat. Special
cases not complying with this rule will be
properly specified in the text.
The figures in this User Guide are provided by
way of example only: this might imply that
some details of the image do not correspond
to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.
In addition, the User Guide has been con-
ceived considering vehicles with steering
wheel on the left side; it is therefore possiblethat on vehicles with steering wheel on the
right side, the position or construction of
some controls is not exactly mirror-like with
respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information
needed you can consult the index at the end
of this User Guide.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedi-
cated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd
page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the
relevant symbols in the tabs. There is anyway
a textual indication of the current chapter at
the side of each even page.
Symbols
Some vehicle components have colored la-
bels whose symbols indicate precautions to
be observed when using this component.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
While reading this User Guide you will find a
series of WARNINGS to be followed to pre-
vent incorrect use of components which
could cause accidents or injuries.
There are also CAUTIONS that must be fol-
lowed to prevent against procedures that
could result in damage to your vehicle.INTRODUCTION

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.

all radio frequency (RF) devices equipped in
this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with Industry Canada license-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is sub-
ject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.
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.
11

Push the switch once to turn on the heated
seats. The LED on the switch illuminates
when the heated seat is on. Push the switch a
second time to shut the heating elements off.
NOTE:
• This feature is only available with the igni-tion key in MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position.
• 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 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.
Folding Rear Seat — If Equipped
To provide additional storage area, each rear
seat can be folded flat to allow for extended
cargo space.
1. Locate the release lever (upper outboard
side of seat), and lift it upward until the
seatback releases.

defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it would
suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.

WARNING!
• Close the lid when not in use and whiledriving the vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause
an electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged indraw power from the vehicle's battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from start-
ing.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.)
CAUTION!
will degrade the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw acces-
sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle's bat-
tery.
Cigar Lighter And Ash Receiver —
If Equipped
A removable ash receiver and cigar lighter are
available. Push the cigar lighter button to activate the
cigar lighter when the ignition key is in the
MAR (ON/RUN) position.
After a few seconds the button returns to its
initial position and the cigar lighter is ready
for use.
NOTE:
Always check that the cigar lighter has turned
itself off.
WARNING!
The cigar lighter becomes very hot. Handle
it carefully and make sure children don’t
touch it: risk of fire and/or burning.
27

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when
using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. After-
market wheels can cause sensor damage.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. Af-
ter using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle
to your authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
— Vehicle Security Warning Light
This telltale will illuminate when the vehicle
security alarm system has detected an at-
tempt was made to break into the vehicle.
— Engine Check/Malfunction Indica-
tor Warning Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic
System called OBD II that monitors engine
and automatic transmission control systems.
The light will illuminate when the ignition is
in the ON/RUN position before engine start.
If the bulb does not come on when turning
the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the con-
dition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing
gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illumi-
nate the light after engine start. The vehicle
should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving styles. In most
situations, the vehicle will drive normally and
will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may
flash to alert serious conditions that could
lead to immediate loss of power or severe
catalytic converter damage. The vehicle
should be serviced as soon as possible if this
occurs.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as
referenced above, can reach higher tem-
peratures than in normal operating condi-
tions. This can cause a fire if you drive
slowly or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc.
This could result in death or serious injury
to the driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause dam-
age to the vehicle control system. It also
could affect fuel economy and driveability.
If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon
occur. Immediate service is required.
