Operational Guidance and Seating Systems

The seating sections explain manual and six-way power adjustments, reclining seatbacks, and fold-and-flip operation for rear seating. Removal and installation procedures cover bucket seats, captain's chairs, split benches, and the stowable seat.

The stowable-seat instructions warn that pulling the seat out by its release handles can break the handles.

Restraint guidance covers comfort guide placement, rear- and forward-facing child-seat attachment, built-in restraint eligibility, and occupant positioning for frontal and side-impact air bags. Always follow the documented manufacturer precautions for restraints and air bags.

Door Controls and Vehicle Personalization

Remote keyless entry: Battery replacement and resynchronization are owner procedures; matching new transmitters is referred to the dealer. PASS-Key III instructions cover additional-key learning when working keys are available, while HomeLink coverage includes rolling-code systems.

Power sliding doors: The reset procedure addresses lost initialization after battery or fuse interruptions. These documented reset conditions help you check whether initialization is needed before arranging a door repair.

Vehicle personalization covers lock behavior, delayed lighting, and remote lock/unlock confirmation.

Routine Maintenance and Service Limits

Maintenance schedules distinguish owner checks, periodic inspections, and services affected by operating conditions. AWD coverage includes the transfer case (Power Transfer Unit) and rear differential (Rear Drive Module), with specified lubricants.

Cooling-system instructions include radiator filling and air bleeding; the manual warns that an incorrect filling procedure can cause severe overheating.

Capacity tables distinguish front-only and front/rear air conditioning, FWD/AWD transaxles, and regular/extended models. This is an operational and basic maintenance reference; it does not provide internal engine or transaxle repair procedures, diagnostic trouble-code charts, or wiring schematics.

AWD, Towing and Roadside Service

Recreational towing guidance separates front-wheel-drive dolly towing from AWD transport with all wheels off the ground. Flat-tire coverage includes the spare carrier's secondary latch and different full-size tire stowage arrangements for FWD and AWD vehicles.

Vehicle Identification and Reference Illustrations

The Driver Information Center section includes compass calibration. Dashboard warnings explain system conditions such as AWD disable, while vehicle identification coverage explains the VIN engine code and Service Parts Identification label.

Reference illustrations include instrument panel views, engine compartment overviews, both fuse block layouts, capacity charts, and maintenance schedule charts. Tire coverage also explains Uniform Tire Quality Grading.
