on the
outboard side of each
front
seat. Use the

Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Column
(If Equipped)
2 MEMOffY
SET
The controls for this option
are located
on the driver’s
door panel, and
are used
to program and recall
previous settings.
Adjust the driver’s seat (including the lumbar and head
restraint adjustments), both the outside mirrors and steering wheel column to a comfortable position and
then press the MEMORY SET button. Within five
seconds, press button “1.”

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A second &or, seating and column position may be
programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button
2. Each time a memory button is pressed, a single
beep will sound through the radio. Each time button
1 or 2
is pressed, the memory positions will be recalled. At the
factory, the exit position is preset with the steering wheel
full up and the seat full back. However, two personalized
exit positions can
be set by first recalling the driving
position (Driver
“1” or “2”), positioning the wheel and
seat in the desired exit positions and then pressing the
MEMORY SET and, within five seconds, pressing the
EXIT button. The exit position for either previously set
driver can
be recalled by pressing the EXIT button.
Heated Seat (Option)
This option is only available if your vehicle is equipped
with the power lumbar control feature.
The front seat controls are
located in the center
console. The rear seat
controls, for the outboard
positions only, are located on the rear door (note that
only the outboard positions
in the rear seats are heated).
Push the button once for a high setting, twice for a low
setting, and a third time to turn
off the heated seat. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat
approximates body temperature. The
HI setting heats the
seat to a slightly higher temperature.
The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is
turned on. The heating elements in the seats
automatically
turn off when the vehicle’s ignition is
turned off.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
The power controls
are located on the
outboard side
of each
front seat. Press the
top of the control
forward or rearward
to adjust the seatback
angle. Push up or
down to adjust the
headrest and shoulder belt.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is moving.
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even
if you buckle
up, your safety belts can’t do their
job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t
do its job. In a crash you
could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the
belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle
is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
