board side of the seatback.

Memory Seat Feature

Heated Seats — If Equipped

Both front seats have a memory feature, which can operate

in two ways:

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 area.

• Memory Function Option 1 (Full Seat Back And Track

Fore/Aft Position Memory) — After using the EZ entry

function, the seatback angle and the track fore/aft

adjuster can both re-lock into the position they were

most recently adjusted to. This is accomplished if the

seat is moved fully rearward to its last fore/aft position

on the tracks before the seat back is returned upright.

3

Push the switch once to turn on the heated seats.

Push the switch a second time to shut the heating

elements off.

NOTE: Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt

within two to five minutes.

• Memory Function Option 2 (Seat Back Only Memory) —

After using the EZ entry function, the seat back may first

be returned upright prior to going back to the last

fore/aft (memory) position on the tracks. This results in

the seat back memory being set only – The track will

then be locked forward of its last set fore/aft memory

position. To then reset the fore/aft track memory feature

(to reestablish Memory Function Option 1), the seat has

to be returned fully rearward to its last fore/aft memory

track position as described in Memory Function Op-

tion 1.

WARNING!

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin

because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,

spinal cord injury, 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.

30 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING! (Continued)

• 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.

Manual Folding Rear Seat

The rear seatbacks have a fold down feature to allow

increased cargo capacity.

Rear Seat Release Buttons

Push down the release button, located at the outboard top

of the seatback and move the seatback to its folded-down

position to provide a flat load floor cargo area. When

returning the seatback to its upright position, push rear-

ward until the seatback is properly latched.

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.

3

WARNING!

• All occupants, including the driver, should not oper-

ate 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.

Folded Rear Seats

•

Head restraints should never be adjusted 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.

WARNING!

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the

seatback. This could impair visibility or become a

dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.

Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats

The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with

Reactive Head Restraints. In the event of a rear impact, the

Reactive Head Restraints will automatically extend for-

ward minimizing the gap between the back of the occu-

pant’s head and the Reactive Head Restraint.
