Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Power Lumbar Control (If Equipped) Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
The
LUMBAR control is
located on the outboard side
of each front seat. It
provides additional support
to your lower back and it
works independently of the
other seat controls. Use the
power seat control first to
get the proper position.
Then proceed with the
lumbar adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, move the LUMBAR
switch forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support. Move the LUMBAR switch side to
side to raise or lower the support mechanism to suit
your preference.
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.
If you have the optional personalization package, the
power lumbar control can be programmed for memory
recall. For more information, see “Programmable, Memory and Personalization Features” in the Index. Automatic seat and mirror movement will occur if the
Remote Keyless Entry
(RE) transmitter is used to
enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the
transmitter corresponds to the
1 or 2 seat and
mirror position.
After the unlock button is pressed on the
RKE
transmitter (the ignition must be in LOCK) or when the
key is placed in the ignition, the seat and mirrors will
automatically adjust to the appropriate position.
