How to Use this Manual

Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you

do this, it will help you learn about the features and

controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find

that pictures and words work together to explain

things quickly.

Index

A good place to look for what you need is the Index in

back of the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of what’s in

the manual, and the page number where you’ll find it.

Safety Warnings and Symbols

You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.

We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you

about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore

the warning.

CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt

you or other people.

In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then

we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the

hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don’t, you or

others could be hurt.

You will also find a circle

with a slash through it in

this book. This safety

symbol means “Don’t,”

“Don’t do this” or “Don’t

let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Also, in this book you will find these notices:

NOTICE:

These mean there is something that could

damage your vehicle.

In the notice area, we tell you about something that can

damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would

not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.

But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid

the damage.

When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION

and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in

different words.

You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use

the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

them -- and also about reclining seatbacks and

head restraints.

Manual Front Seats

CAUTION:

You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to

adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is

moving. The sudden movement could startle and

confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you

don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when

the vehicle is not moving.

Lift the lever under the driver’s seat to unlock it. Slide

the seat to where you want it. Then release the lever and

try to move the seat with your body, to make sure the

seat is locked into place.

Your vehicle will be equipped with one of the following

passenger seat adjusters.

If your vehicle is not equipped with easy entry seats,

your passenger seat adjuster looks like this. Slide the

lever under the passenger’s seat to the right to unlock it.

Slide the seat to where you want it. Then release the

lever and try to move the seat with your body, to make

sure the seat is locked into place.

If your vehicle is equipped with easy entry seats, this is

your front passenger seat adjuster. Pull up on the lever at

the front of the seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to a

comfortable position. Release the lever and try to move

the seat with your body, to make sure the seat is locked

into place.

Manual Lumbar Support (If Equipped)

The manual lumbar support control is located at the

front of the driver’s seat, toward the right. Turn the knob

clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease

the amount of support to your lower back.
