WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your
reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.
Never drink and then drive.

WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide

in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

GETTING STARTED

CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children
ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring
it.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and
others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child’s size.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors and all three rear seating
positions have top tether anchors.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only.
Child seats with flexible lower attachments can be used in all three seating positions.
•Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and
tether straps so that you can attach the hook
or connector to the lower and tether
anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the
top of the anchorage bars, pushing aside the
seat cover material. You will easily feel the
anchorage bars if you run your finger along
the intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback using
the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether underneath the
head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
GETTING STARTED
10

• Tighten all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the
seat.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to
route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top
tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the
seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether
underneath the head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of
the seat.
WARNING!
Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with
a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death
to infants in this position.
11
GETTING STARTED

FRONT SEATS
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of
the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly
adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
Manual Seat Adjustment
Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting bar located at the
front of the seat near the floor and release at
the desired position.
Recliner
• Lean forward slightly, lift the seatback
release lever located on the outboard side of
the seat, lean back and release at the desired
position.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously
or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
GETTING STARTED
12

Lumbar Support
• Rotate the lumbar lever, located on the
inboard side of the seat, downward to
increase and upward to decrease the desired
amount of lumbar support.
Driver’s Power Seat
• The power seat switch, located on the
outboard side of the seat near the floor,
controls forward/back, up/down, and tilt

lean back and release at the desired position.

• The power seat switch controls forward/back
adjustment.
CAUTION!
DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may
cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is
stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
13
GETTING STARTED

Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat
• The front passenger seat can be folded flat to
allow for extended cargo space. Pull up on
the seatback release lever to fold down the
seatback.
Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats are
located near the bottom center of the
instrument panel (below the heater/air
conditioning controls).
• Press the switch once to select High-level
heating. Press the switch a second time to
select Low-level heating. Press the switch a
third time to shut the heating elements Off.
WARNING!
• 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 conditions 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 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.
CAUTION!
Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or degrade
the material of the seat.
GETTING STARTED
14

Memory Seat
• The memory seat feature allows you to save

15
GETTING STARTED

WARNING!
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.
Recliner Adjustment
• Pull the release strap while sitting in the rear seat to recline the seatback.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
• The tilt lever is located on the steering

column.
• With one hand firmly on the steering wheel,
move the steering column up or down as

WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column while
