containing key code numbers to order dupli-
cate keys, and the authorized dealer that sold
you your new vehicle has the key code num-

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

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

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.
