A notice will 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.

Front Seats

Power Seats

The power seat controls are located on the outboard sides of the front seat cushions.

Power Lumbar

If your vehicle has this feature, the control is located on the outboard sides of the front seats.

Use the power seat controls first to get the proper position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment. Press the lumbar control forward to increase support and rearward to decrease support. Press the control up or down to raise or lower the support mechanism. Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as it may during long trips, so should the position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.

Move the front of the seat control up or down to adjust the front portion of the cushion. Move the rear of the seat control up or down to adjust the rear portion of the cushion. Lift up or push down on the center of the seat control to move the entire seat up or down. Slide the seat control forward or rearward to move the seat forward or rearward.

If your vehicle has this feature, the control is located on the outboard sides of the front seats. With the ignition on, briefly press the top of the control where it is marked AUTO to activate the massaging lumbar feature.

The massage cycle will run continuously for up to 10 minutes and can be interrupted by briefly pressing the bottom of the control. The lumbar support can be adjusted during the massage cycle by moving the control forward to increase support and rearward to decrease support. The massage cycle will continue to T ~ T ! pypn if the ignIt[cn is t ~ ~ r n p r j interrupted. If your vehicle has this feature, it will not have the adaptive seat feature.

If your vehicle has this feature, the control is located on the outboard side of each front seat. It is marked AUTO.

With the ignition in ON, first use the power seat csntro! to get the proper position. Then press the top of the control where it is marked AUTO.

You may still wish to further adjust the overall firmness or softness of the seat cushion. To get to your desired level of comfort, hold the control up to increase the firmness, or down for less firmness. When you let go of the control, the seat will automatically readjust to your desired level of comfort. To reshape the lower seatback, press the lumbar control forward to increase support and rearward to decrease support. The lumbar will then automatically adjust to your body’s positioning for the duration of the trip in two to four-minute cycles. If you exit the vehicle after the system has been activated and the seat is left unoccupied for more than two minutes, the system will deflate. You will then need to readjust the lumbar support upon returning to your vehicle. To turn off the adaptive seat feature, briefly press the bottom of the control. The seat will deflate when the adaptive seat control or the ignition is turned off. If your vehicle has this feature, massaging lumbar is not available for your vehicle.

Heated Seats

Your vehicle may have heated front and rear seats.

The buttons are located on the armrests. Press the buttons to turn the feature on. Press them again to turn off the heated seats. The feature will also shut off when the ignition is turned to OFF. The HEAT/OFF button controls the temperature settings HI, MED and LO. The other button is to choose BACK ONLY heating. The LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates body temperature.

Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when you’re reclined like this. The shoulder belt can’t do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the vehicle is in ’ motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit

well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.

But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.

Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone

This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts.

Don’t let ,.lyone ride where he or she can’t wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety belt, your injuries can be much worse. You can hit things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, ana cneck inai your passengers‘ beiis are fastened properly too.

in a cargo

It is extren y danger01 to ride area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, 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 safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.

1-9

Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. See Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 3-45.

Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes.

In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work. You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 30 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot!
