Your vehicle’s instrument panel is
designed to let you know at a glance
how your vehicle is running. You’ll
know how fast you’re going, about
how much fuel you’ve used, and
many other things necessary for
driving safely and economically.
The instrument panel cluster includes
these key features:
A. Tachometer/Fuel Gauge/Coolant
Temperature Gauge
B. Speedometer/Odometer/Trip
Odometer
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

IMPORTANT: The instrument panel
cluster is designed to let you know
about many important aspects of
your vehicle’s operation. It is important to read your Owner Manual and
become familiar with the information
being relayed to you by the lights,
gauges and indicators, as well as
what action can be taken to ensure
safety and to prevent damage.

Rear Folding Seat
To create more cargo room, the rear
seatback can be folded down:
• Pull up the release knob on top of the
rear seatback (shown above).
• Your vehicle has adjustable head
restraints; push them down all the
way.
• Fold the seatback forward and down.
• Move the safety belts/buckles out
of the space between the seatback
and seatback cushion.
On 5-door model only:
• Pull both release tabs on the rear
side of the seat cushion to release
the rear seat.
• Lift and fold up the seat, and clip the
hook to the head restraint of the front
seat to keep the rear seat secure.
• Store rear safety belts/buckles in the
storage area under the floor mat.
• Reverse the process to return the
seatback to the upright position,
ensuring that the seat cushion and
seatback are securely latched and
that the safety belts/buckles are in
their original position between the
rear seatback and seat cushion.
See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.

Rear Center Safety Belt
Operation
Your vehicle has a removable safety
belt in the rear center seating position.
To install the rear center safety belt:
• Pull the belt from the retractor.
• Push the latch plate at the end of the
safety belt strap into the buckle with
the black release button until the
mechanism clicks, ensuring that the
strap is not twisted and that the sliding latch plate faces the front of the
vehicle.
• Insert the upper part of the safety belt
into the safety belt guide, ensuring
that the belt is not twisted.
The buckles for the rear center seat belt
are positioned outboard of the left and
right rear passenger’s buckles. The center passenger’s seat belt uses two buckles. The center passenger’s buckles can
be identified by the black release button
on the left side, and by the word
“CENTER” on the top of the buckle on
the right side. The positions of the
buckles are correct. Please don’t try to
rearrange their position.
See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.
Passenger-Side Power Rearview
Mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
outside power mirror control that adjusts
the passenger-side mirror. The control is
located on the driver door panel, above
the power window buttons. Adjust the
passenger-side mirror by pressing the
edges of the control pad to move the
mirror in the direction that you want it to
go. The ignition must be ON.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
