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. {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." 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. 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.

See Power Reclining Seatbacks on page 13. Power Lumbar Your vehicle has power lumbar on the driver's and front passenger's seats. The seatback lumbar support can be adjusted by moving the control 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. To increase or decrease support, hold the control forward or rearward. 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. 9 Heated Seats Your vehicle has heated front seats. The buttons used to control this feature are located on the front door armrests. The engine must be running for the heated seat feature to work. The indicator lights above the button will come on to designate the level of heat selected: three for high, two for medium, and one for low. The low setting warms the seatback and seat cushion until the seat temperature is near body temperature. The medium and high settings heat the seatback and seat cushion to a slightly higher temperature. You will be able to feel heat in about two minutes. To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with the heated seatback symbol. An indicator light on the button will come on to designate that only the seatback is being heated. Additional presses will cycle through the heat levels for the seatback only. The feature will shut off automatically when the ignition is turned off. To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with the heated seat and seatback symbol. Press the button to cycle through the temperature settings of high, medium, and low and to turn the heated seat off. 10 Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals The controls for the memory function are located on the driver's door.
