to the rear seats.

Note:

Remove any snow, ice or leaves from

the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.

Note:

To improve the time to reach a

comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel

Automatic Climate Control

Note:

Adjusting the settings when your

not necessary. Automatic mode is best
recommended to maintain set temperature.

Note:

The system adjusts to heat or cool

the interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.

Note:

For the system to function efficiently,

the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.

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.

Note:

If you select

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.

WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR
FILTER

The cabin air filter improves the quality of
air in your vehicle by trapping dust, pollen
and other particles.

LOCATING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER

The cabin air filter is behind the glovebox.

Note:

The filter access door is above the

passenger footwell under the instrument
panel.

REPLACING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER

Replace the filter at regular intervals. See

Scheduled Maintenance

(page 449).

Note:

Make sure you have a cabin air filter

installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.

Note:

Using an aftermarket cabin air filter

could reduce cabin air filtration and climate
control performance.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

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.

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.

•

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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING:

Fully adjust the head

restraint before you 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.

134

Seats

WARNING:

The adjustable 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:

Install the head

restraint properly to help minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.

Note:

Adjust the seatback 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.

forward-most tilt position, pivoting it
forward again will then release it to the
rearward, un-tilted position.

MANUAL SEATS

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.

WARNING:

Reclining the seatback

can cause an occupant to slide under the
seat's seatbelt, resulting in severe
personal injuries in the event of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not place cargo or

any objects behind the seatback before
