How to Use This Manual Many people read the owner manual from beginning to end when they ﬁrst receive their new vehicle. If this is done, it can help you learn about the features and controls for the vehicle. Pictures and words work together in the owner manual to explain things. Index A good place to quickly locate information about the vehicle is the Index in the back of the manual. It is an alphabetical list of what is in the manual and the page number where it can be found. Safety Warnings and Symbols There are a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell 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 do not, you or others could be hurt. You will also ﬁnd a circle with a slash through it in this book. This safety symbol means “Do Not,” “Do Not do this” or “Do Not let this happen.” 4

Vehicle Damage Warnings Also, in this manual you will find these notices: Notice: These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle. A notice tells about something that can damage the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could be costly. But the notice will tell 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. There are also warning labels on the vehicle. They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE. Vehicle Symbols The vehicle has components and labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along with the text describing the operation or information relating to a specific component, control, message, gage, or indicator. If you need help figuring out a specific name of a component, gage, or indicator, reference the following topics: • Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1 • Features and Controls in Section 2 • Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3 • Climate Controls in Section 3 • Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators in Section 3 • Audio System(s) in Section 3 • Engine Compartment Overview in Section 5 5

These are some examples of symbols that may be found on the vehicle: 6

Front Seats Power Seats The power seat controls are located on the outboard side of the seat cushions. • Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding the horizontal control forward or rearward. • Raise or lower the front part of the seat cushion by moving the front of the horizontal control up or down. • Raise or lower the rear part of the seat cushion by moving the rear of the horizontal control up or down. • Raise or lower the entire seat by moving the entire horizontal control up or down. • Use the vertical control to recline the seatback. See Power Reclining Seatbacks on page 11. 8

Power Lumbar The driver’s and passenger’s seatback lumbar support switches are located on the outboard sides of the seats. Use the power seat controls ﬁrst to get the proper position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment. Use the top lumbar switch to adjust support to the middle seatback and the bottom lumbar switch to adjust support to the lower seatback. Press the front of the switch to increase support and the rear of the switch to decrease support. 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. Heated and Cooled Seats The buttons for the heated and cooled seats are located on the climate control system. ( (Heated/Cooled Seat): Press this button to turn the feature on. The button on the left controls the driver’s seat and the button on the right controls the passenger’s seat. Each press of the button will take you to a different setting. The settings available in order are HI HEAT, LO HEAT, OFF, HI COOL, LO COOL and OFF. You will be able to feel the temperature change in a few minutes. The feature will automatically turn off when the vehicle is turned off. See Dual Climate Control System on page 178 for more information. 9

Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel Your vehicle is equipped with the memory package. The controls for these features are located on the driver’s seat, and are used to program and recall memory settings for the driver’s seating positions. Use the following steps to program each button: 1. Adjust the driver’s seat including the seatback recliner, lumbar, both outside mirrors and the steering wheel to a comfortable position. 2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps are heard, then release the button. A second mirror, seating and steering wheel position can be programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing button 2 (for driver 2). Each time a memory button is pressed and released, a single beep will sound. Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory positions will be recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle is not in PARK (P), three beeps will be heard and the memory position will not be recalled. When the engine is started, the seat, mirrors, and steering wheel may automatically adjust to their programmed positions. To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any time, press one of the power seat controls, power mirror control buttons, memory buttons, or power steering column control. 10
