CLIMATE CONTROL HINTS

General Hints

•

Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.

•

You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless
of the air distribution setting.

•

To reduce humidity build-up inside your
vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air
always switched on.

•

Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.

•

Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.

•

To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot
weather, drive with the windows open
until you feel cold air through the air
vents.

Automatic Climate Control

•

Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold
is not necessary. Automatic mode is
best recommended to maintain set
temperature.

•

The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.

•

For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.

•

If you press

AUTO

during cold outside

temperatures, the system directs air
flow to the windshield and side window
air vents. In addition, the blower motor
may run at a slower speed until the
engine warms up.

•

If you press

AUTO

during hot

temperatures and the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system uses
recirculated air to maximize interior
cooling. Blower motor speed may also
reduce until the air cools.

FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Sitting improperly, out

of position or with the seatback reclined
too far can take weight off the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING:

Do not recline the seat

backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event
of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not place objects

higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or crash.

WARNING:

Do not adjust the driver

seat or seat backrest when your vehicle
is moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control
of your vehicle.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

E68595

When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•

Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.

•

Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees
from the upright position.

•

Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.

•

Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

158

Front Seats

•

Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

•

Position the shoulder strap of the
seatbelt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

MANUAL SEATS

HEAD RESTRAINT COMPONENTS

E327921

The head restraints consist of:

An energy absorbing head
restraint.

Two steel stems.

Guide sleeve adjust and release
button.

Guide sleeve unlock and remove
button (If equipped).

ADJUSTING THE HEAD
RESTRAINT

WARNING:

Fully adjust the head

restraint before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk
of neck injury in the event of a crash. Do
not adjust the head restraint when your
vehicle is moving.

WARNING:

The head restraint is a

safety device. Whenever possible it
should be installed and properly
adjusted when the seat is occupied.
Failure to adjust the head restraint
properly could reduce its effectiveness
during certain impacts.

WARNING:

Adjust the head

restraints for all passengers before you
drive your vehicle. This will help minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash. Do not adjust the head restraints
when your vehicle is moving.

Note:

Adjust the seat backrest to an upright

driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forward as possible. Make sure
that you remain comfortable. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position.

Pull the head restraint up to raise it.

To lower the head restraint:

Press and hold the adjust and release
button.

After the head restraint reaches the
forward-most tilt position, pivot it forward
again to release it to the rearward, untilted
position.

Note:

Do not attempt to force the head

restraint backward after it is tilted. Instead,
continue tilting it forward until the head
restraint releases to the upright position.

REMOVING THE HEAD RESTRAINT

Pull up the head restraint until it
reaches the highest adjustment
position.

2. Press and hold the adjust and release

button and the unlock and remove
button.

3. Pull up the head restraint.

Align the steel stems into the guide sleeves
and push the head restraint down until it
locks.

MOVING THE SEAT BACKWARD
AND FORWARD

WARNING:

Do not adjust the driver

seat or seat backrest when your vehicle
is moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control
of your vehicle.

WARNING:

Make sure the seat fully

locks into place by rocking it backward
and forward. Not securing the seat into
the locked position can be dangerous in
a crash and could cause serious personal
injury or death.
