Seat Recline

Heated Seats

Use the seat warmer when the

engine is running. Leaving the seat

warmer on for long periods with the

engine not running could discharge the

battery.

To recline the seatback, lift up the

recline lever and lean back until the

desired position has been reached,

then release the lever. Make sure the

lever returns to its original position and

the seatback is locked in place by

attempting to push it forward and

rearward.

On some models, the front driver and

passenger seats may be equipped with

heaters in both the seat cushions and

seatbacks. The controls for the front

heated seats are located on the center

instrument panel below the climate

controls.

The temperature of the seat warmer

cannot be adjusted beyond High,

Medium and Low.

The heated seats have three settings:

High, Medium, and Low. Push the

switch once to turn the heated seats on

High, twice for Medium, and three times

for Low. Pushing the switch a fourth

time will turn the heated seat off.

Once a heat setting is selected,

heat will be felt within two to five

minutes.

Warning!

Adjusting a seat while driving may be

dangerous. Moving a seat while driving

could result in loss of control which could

cause a collision and serious injury or

death.

Note:

If the ignition is cycled OFF while

the seat warmer is operating (High,

Mid or Low), and then cycled ON

again, the seat warmer will

automatically operate at the

temperature set before the ignition

was cycled OFF.

Seats should be adjusted before

fastening the seat belts and while the

vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death

could result from a poorly adjusted seat

belt.

Do not ride with the seatback reclined

so that the shoulder belt is no longer

resting against your chest. In a collision

you could slide under the seat belt, which

could result in serious injury or death.

Heated Seat Switches

Driver And Passenger

Head Restraints

NON-ADJUSTABLE

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Warning!

Your vehicle is equipped with

non-adjustable head restraints on the

driver's and passenger's seatbacks.

The non-adjustable head restraints are

form fitted into the upper structure of

the seatback, and are designed to

reduce the risk of injury by restricting

head movement in the event of a rear

impact. The seatback should be

properly adjusted to an upright position

where the head restraint is positioned

as close as possible to the back of the

occupant’s head.

Persons who are unable to feel pain to

the skin because of advanced age, chronic

illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,

medication, alcohol use, exhaustion 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.

The non-adjustable head restraints

consist of a trimmed foam covering

over the upper structure of the

seatbacks and are intended to help

protect occupants from neck injury.

Adjust the seatbacks to their upright,

on-road positions so that the head

restraint is positioned as close as

possible to the back of the occupant’s

head.

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. Sitting in a

seat that has been overheated could

cause serious burns due to the increased

surface temperature of the seat.

Warning!

Be certain that the seatback is locked

securely into position. Otherwise, the seat

will not provide the proper stability for

passengers. An improperly latched

seatback could cause serious injury.

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.

Caution!

Do not use organic solvents to clean the

seat. It may damage the seat surface and

the heater.

Be certain that the seatback is securely

locked into position. If the seatback is not

securely locked into position the seat will

not provide the proper stability for child

seats and/or passengers. An improperly

latched seat could cause serious injury.

STEERING WHEEL

MIRRORS

Steering Wheel

Adjustment

Outside Mirrors

Be sure that all inside and outside

mirrors are adjusted to the desired

position prior to driving the vehicle.

To change the angle of the steering

wheel:

Mirror Types:

1. With the gear selector in the PARK

position, pull the lock release lever,

located under the steering column,

downward.

Flat Type (Driver Side): flat surface

mirror.

Convex Type (Passenger Side): this

mirror has a slight curve.

04050101-12A-001

2. Tilt the steering wheel to the desired

position.

Manual Tilt Adjustment

1 — Lock Release Lever

Note: The passenger side convex

outside mirror will give a much wider

view toward the rear of the vehicle, and

especially of the adjacent lane.

3. Push the lock release lever upward

to lock the steering column.

4. Attempt to push the steering wheel

upward and downward to ensure it is

locked before driving.

The perceived distance of objects in the

outer and inner regions of the wide

angle mirror is different.

Warning!

Do not adjust the steering column while

driving. Adjusting the steering column while

driving or driving with the steering column

unlocked could cause the driver to lose

control of the vehicle. Be sure the steering

column is locked before driving your

vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may

result in serious injury or death.

Warning!

Vehicles and other objects seen in the

passenger side convex mirror will look

smaller and farther away than they really

are. Relying too much on your passenger

side mirror could cause you to collide with

another vehicle or other object. Use your

inside mirror when judging the size or

distance of a vehicle seen in the passenger

side mirror.
