Recliner Adjustment

Without Swivel Seat
The recliner knob is on the rear outboard side of the

seat. To recline the seatback, lean back and rotate

the knob rearward to position the seatback as desired.

To return the seatback to its normal upright position,

lean forward and rotate the knob forward until the

seatback is in the upright position.
With Swivel Seat
The recliner lever is located at the lower front outboard

side of the seat. To recline the seatback, lean forward

slightly, pull the lever outward, lean back to the desired

position and release the lever. To return the seatback

to its normal upright position, lean forward and pull the

lever outward. Release the lever once the seatback is

in the upright position.

Lumbar Support — If Equipped

This feature allows you to increase or decrease the

amount of lumbar support. The lumbar control

knob is located on the rear upper outboard side of

the driver's seatback. Rotate the control forward to

increase and rearward to decrease the desired

amount of lumbar support.

Suspension Seat — If Equipped

The seat is equipped with a mechanical spring

system and hydraulic shock absorber to ensure

maximum comfort and safety. The system of

springs also effectively absorbs impact from

uneven road surfaces.

Damper Weight Adjustment
Use the weight adjustment knob, located on the

inboard side of the seat, to set the required setting

based on body weight, with settings between 88 lb

(40 kg) and 286 lb (130 kg).

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 adjusted properly and you could

be injured. Adjust the seat only while the

vehicle is parked.



Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that

the shoulder 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.

Swivel Seat — If Equipped

The swivel seat lever is located at the lower front

inboard side of the seat. The seat may be turned

through 180° toward the seat on the opposite side

and approximately 35° toward the door. The seat

may be locked in the driving position or at the

180° position. To swivel the seat, pull the swivel

seat inboard lever outward, turn the seat to the

desired position and release the lever.

Swivel Seat Lever

If the vehicle is equipped with interlocking swivel

seats, the seats must be locked in the facing

forward position while driving. If the seats are not

in the correct position, a warning will appear in the

instrument cluster display.

If the driver or the passenger seats are not locked

in the facing forward position before the first

vehicle movement, shifting out of park is not

allowed until the seats are both locked in the

facing forward position. When the seats are not in

the right position and the first vehicle movement

after ignition START is attempted, a chime and a

message will appear in the instrument cluster

display. Rotate and lock the swivel seats in the

correct position before trying again.
If the driver or the passenger seats are not locked

in the facing forward position during movement

of the vehicle, a message will appear in the

instrument cluster display and an intermittent

chime will sound until key-off or until the swivel

seats are locked in the facing forward position.

Stop and move the swivel seats in the correct

position before proceeding.
If a fault is present in the system and it is not

possible to check the correct position of the swivel

seats, a message and the generic warning light

appears in the instrument cluster display to inform

about the failure. In these conditions, check the

status of the swivel seats and do not drive the

vehicle until the swivel seats are locked in the

facing forward position.

WARNING!



All occupants, including the driver, should not

operate 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.



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.

Driver and passenger outside mirrors with turn

signal and approach lighting contain four LEDs,

which are located in the upper outer corner of each

mirror.
Three of the LEDs are turn signal indicators, which flash

with the corresponding turn signal lights in the front

and rear of the vehicle. Turning on the Hazard Warning

flashers will also activate these LEDs.
The fourth LED supplies illuminated entry lighting,

which turns on in both mirrors when you use the

key fob or open any door. This LED shines outward

to illuminate the front and rear door handles.

It also shines downward to illuminate the area in

front of the doors.
The illuminated entry lighting fades to off after about

30 seconds or it will fade to off immediately once the

ignition is placed into the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

The approach lighting will not function when the

gear selector is moved out of the PARK position.

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside

convex mirror will look smaller and farther away

than they really are. Relying too much on side

convex mirrors could cause you to collide with

another vehicle or other object. Use your inside

mirror when judging the size or distance of a

Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper/washer

lever toward the steering wheel to activate. The wipers

will activate automatically for three cycles after the

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The Rain Sensing system has protection features

for the wiper blades and arms, and will not operate

under the following conditions:



Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is

first placed in the ON position, the Rain Sensing

system will not operate until the wiper switch is

moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph

(5 km/h), or the outside temperature is greater

than 32°F (0°C).



Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the

ignition is ON, and the automatic transmission

is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing

system will not operate until the wiper switch is

moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph

(5 km/h), or the gear selector is moved out of

the NEUTRAL position.



Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles

equipped with a Remote Start system,

Rain Sensing wipers are not operational when

the vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.

The user can activate the Rain Sensing Wipers in

three ways:



Moving the lever from the O (off) position to the

intermittent positions.



One Mist command actuation.



The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) and

the rain sensor detects the presence of rain.

NOTE:

In the event of a rain sensor failure, a dedicated

telltale on the instrument cluster will appear to

warn the customer (if equipped).
