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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will
. also be equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature.
This featbre, will cause the passenger mirror to
tilt when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature
may be useful
in allowing you to view the curb when
you are parallel
parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a,
five second delay has occurred, the passenger.mirror
,
will return to its original position.
If mer adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror switch may be used.
,,
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from the,
driver’s seat.
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.

r atures (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following
features that can be individually programmed,
memorized or personalized for up to two drivers. For a
brief description of each feature (except for climate
control and radio personalization), see each feature
in
the Index.
Memory Seat and Mirrors
To begin programming, adjust the driver’s seat
(including lumbar adjustments) and both outside mirrors
to a comfortable position and then press the SET button.
Within five seconds, press button
“1.”
A second mirror and seating position may be
programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button
“2” instead of button 1. Note that each time a
memory button is pressed, a single beep will sound
through the left front speaker.
If your vehicle is in PARK (P), you can recall mirror and
seating positions by briefly pressing button
1 or 2. This
will adjust the seat and mirrors to where you have
previously programmed them.
If you have accidentally
pressed one of the memory recall buttons
and want to stop
seat or mirror movement, press one of the manual seat or
mirror control buttons.
This cancels a memory recall.
You can also recall a seat and mirror position if your
vehicle is not in PARK (P). Press and hold either the
1
or 2 button until seat and mirror movement is complete.

generally will allow a reading of plus 0.76 degrees or
minus 0.76 degrees from the center of the bubble.
It is recommended that the upper limit not exceed plus
0.4 degrees from the center of the bubble. Other drivers
may flash their high beams at you if your adjustment
is
much above plus 0.4 degrees. If you
find that the headlamp aiming needs adjustment,
follow these steps:
..
. ,..
1. Start by opening the hood and locating the vertical
and horizontal aim indicators. The aiming screw for
the horizontal aim indicator is on the outboard side
of the headlamp cover and the aiming screw for the
vertical aim indicator is on the inboard side.
