REVERSE MIRROR - when the vehicle is shifted
to REVERSE, the outside rearview mirrors tilt
down. This provides an improved view of the
side of the vehicle and curb area when backing
up. When you shift out of REVERSE, the
mirrors return to their previous positions.
Recalling Personality MemoryAll of these settings are automatically recalled when
the driver unlocks the door using the remote entry
transmitter, keyless entry keypad or presses either
Memory 1 or Memory 2 switch inside the driver's
door. The vehicle must be in PARK or NEUTRAL to
recall Personality Memory settings.Remote EntryPressing the UNLOCK button on the remote entry
transmitter unlocks the driver's door and recalls all
of the Personality Memory settings. Two
transmitters are delivered with the vehicle. One is
programmed to always recall Memory 1 and theother will always recall Memory 2. Personality
Memory 1 or 2 is indicated on the back of the
transmitter.
Personality Memory recall from the remote
transmitter can be disabled. This is done by sliding
the switch on the back of the transmitter to OFF.
Personality Memory can still be recalled using
keyless entry code or the Memory 1 or Memory 2
switches.
Keyless EntryUp to three unique keyless entry codes can be
programmed by the customer. Two of the codes
can be assigned to recall Personality Memory 1 or
Memory 2. Each time the 5-digit code is entered on
the keypad, the driver's door will unlock and
Personality Memory 1 or Memory 2 will be
recalled.
