MIRRORS

Inside Day/Night Mirror

A two-point pivot system allows for horizontal and
vertical adjustment of the mirror. The mirror should be
adjusted to center on the view through the rear window.

Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be reduced
by moving the small control under the mirror to the night
position (toward the rear of the vehicle). The mirror
should be adjusted while set in the day position (toward
the windshield).

Automatic Dimming Mirror — If Equipped

This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare
from vehicles behind you. You can turn the feature on or
off by pressing the button at the base of the mirror. A light
next to the button will indicate when the dimming
feature is activated.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning, never
spray any cleaning solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the
mirror clean.

Outside Mirrors

To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirrors
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in the passenger-side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your
passenger-side mirror could cause you to collide with
another vehicle or other object. Use your inside
mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle
seen in the passenger-side mirror.

Exterior Mirrors Folding Feature

All exterior mirrors are hinged and may be moved either
forward or rearward to resist damage. The hinges have
three detent positions; full forward, full rearward and
normal.

matically adjust for headlight glare when the inside
mirror adjusts.

Power Mirrors

operation of the vehicle.

WARNING!

• DO NOT allow people to ride in any area of your

vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and

using a seat belt properly.

Front Manual Seat Adjustment

Move the seat forward or rearward using the adjustment
bar. Lift up on the bar located on the front of the seat near
the floor. Using body pressure, move forward and rear-
ward on the seat to be sure the seat adjusters have
latched.

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
properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust
any seat only while the vehicle is parked.

Front Seat Adjustment — Recline

To adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean back and release the lever
at the desired position. To return the seatback, lift the
lever, lean forward and release the lever.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat
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.

Manual Lumbar Support Adjustment

The manual lumbar support adjustment lever is located
on the right side of the driver’s seatback and on the left
side of the passenger’s seatback (if equipped). Moving
the lumbar control lever fore and aft increases or de-
creases the lumbar support.

Head Restraints

Head restraints can reduce the risk of injury in the event
of a rear impact. Adjustable head restraints should be

The head restraints have a locking button which must be
pushed in to lower the head restraint to all positions. The
restraints may be raised without pushing in the button.

Adjustable Head Restraints

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the head restraints removed or
improperly adjusted could cause serious injury or
death in the event of a collision. The head restraints
should always be checked prior to operating the
vehicle and never adjusted while the vehicle is in
motion. Always adjust the head restraints when the
vehicle is in PARK.

Front Heated Seats — If Equipped

The controls for each heater are located near the bottom
center of the instrument panel (below the heater/air
conditioning controls).

After turning the ignition ON, you can choose from High,
Low or Off heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for High, one for Low and none for
Off.

Press the switch once to select High-level heat-
ing. Press the switch a second time to select
Low-level heating. Press the switch a third time
to shut the heating elements Off.

When High-level heating is selected, the heaters provide
a boosted heat level during the first four minutes of
operation after heating is activated. The heat output then
drops to the normal High-level. If High-level heating is
selected, the system will automatically switch to the
Low-level after approximately 30 minutes of continuous
operation. At that time, the number of illuminated LEDs
changes from two to one, indicating the change. Opera-
tion on the Low-level setting also turns Off automatically
after approximately 30 minutes.

NOTE:

Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt

within two to five minutes.

WARNING!

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin

because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, ex-
haustion or other physical condition must exercise
care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.

• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates

against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the seat heater to overheat. To avoid
heated seat surfaces coming in contact and poten-
tial seat overheating, always ensure that the seat
heater is in the off position before placing any of
the seats into a folded flat position (if equipped).

Rear Heated Seats — If Equipped

On vehicles equipped with rear heated seats, the seats
closest to the doors are heated. The controls for these
seats are located on the rear of the center console.
