Warning

• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous. Moving a seat while driving could result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while the vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
• 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, which could result in serious injury or death.

Heated Seats — If Equipped
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with Sparco Racing Seats, they will not be equipped with the heated seat feature.
With the engine in the ON position, push the driver or passenger heated seat button located on the instrument panel.

Heated Seat Buttons
You can select three heating levels:

1. Maximum — three LED indicators illuminated on the buttons.
2. Average — two LED indicators illuminated on the buttons.
3. Minimum — one LED indicator illuminated on the buttons.

After selecting a heating level, heat will be felt within a few minutes. A quick push of the heated seat button will select the heat levels in order of highest to lowest. A fourth push of the button will turn the heated seat off.
The “minimum” setting is automatically deactivated once a certain period of time has elapsed. This varies on a
case-by-case basis, in accordance with the specific operating conditions.

Rear Heated Seats
If equipped with rear heated seats, the controls can be found on the rear of the center console and will function the same as the front heated seat controls.
Note: To preserve the battery charge, this function cannot be activated when the engine is off.
Warning

Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion 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 or seatback that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.

Rear Seats
The rear seats allow for three passengers.
Note: Middle Seat: The rear seat is designed as a 4+1 seat vehicle. The middle seat is of limited use. It is recommended that this seat only be used by a person who can use the backrest as a substitute for the head restraint. The seats and the seatbelts are considered components of the vehicle’s Occupant Restraint System.
Note: Refer to the “Seat Belt Systems” in “Safety” for further information.

Split Folding Rear Seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to provide an additional storage area.

Partial Extension Of The Luggage Compartment (1/3 Or 2/3)
Extending the right side of the trunk allows you to carry two passengers on the left part of the rear seat, while extending the left side allows you to carry one passenger.
Proceed as follows:

1. Completely lower the rear seat head restraints.
2. Place the seatbelt so that it doesn’t impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. From inside the luggage compartment, operate lever 1 to tilt the left part or lever 2 to tilt the right part of the backrest: it will automatically tilt forward. If necessary, assist the backrest during the initial stage of tilting.

Seat Release Levers

1. Left Side Seat Release Lever
2. Right Side Seat Release Lever

Full Expansion Of The Trunk
Tilting the rear seat forward completely allows maximum loading volume.
Proceed as follows:

1. Completely lower the rear seat head restraints.
2. Place the seatbelts so that they don’t impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. From inside the luggage compartment, use levers 1 and 2 to fold down the backrests; these will fold down forwards automatically. If necessary, accompany the backrests during the initial stage of tilting.

Repositioning The Backrests
Move the seatbelts to the side, making sure that they are correctly extended and not twisted, and that they are not trapped behind the backrests of the seats. Make sure the seatbelts are in the front of the seatback and lift the backrests, pushing them back until you hear the locking click on both latch mechanisms.
Warning: Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.

Center Backrest Section Tilting
The center backrest can be tilted forward for a “Ski-Pass Through” feature from the trunk. Before tilting the backrest, make sure that the rear center seatbelt is not fastened and that there are not any objects in the middle part of the cushion. Using the release strap, release the center part of the backrest from its housing and tilt it using the head restraint.

Center Backrest Section Repositioning
Using the head restraint, lift the center portion upwards, accompanying it during its movement, and lightly push to make sure that it is properly attached. Make sure that the armrest is properly attached by attempting to move it. If it is not attached, repeat the operation.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

Warning

• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
• Always securely stow removed head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat.
• Do not place items over the top of the Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or portable DVD players. These items may interfere with the operation of the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a collision and could result in serious injury or death.

Sparco Racing Seat Head Restraints —If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with non-adjustable head restraints on the driver’s and passenger’s seatbacks. The non-adjustable head restraints consist of a trimmed foam covering over the upper structure of the seatbacks and are intended to help protect you and the passenger from neck injury. Adjust the seatbacks to their upright, on-road positions so that the head restraint is positioned as close as possible to the back of your head.

The front head restraints may be height-adjustable. To adjust them, operate as follows:

1. Upward adjustment: Raise the head restraint until it clicks into place.
2. Downward adjustment: Push the adjustment button and push downward on the head restraint to lower.

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 head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
  Note: To allow maximum visibility for the driver, if the head restraints are not in use, lower the head restraint all the way.
