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

I 
With  this feature, you  can 
lock  and  unlock  the  doors, 
unlock  the  trunk,  open  the 
fuel  door  and  turn  on your 
vehicle’s  interior lamps 
from  about 
30 feet (9 m) 
away  using  the 
RKE 
transmitter  supplied  with 
your  vehicle. 
Your 
RKE system  is  intended  to  be  used  as  a 
supplementary  vehicle  entry  device. It  is  not  intended  to 
replace,  but  rather  should  be  used  in  conjunction  with,  a 
door  lock  key. 
It operates  on  a radio  frequency  subject  to 
Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)  Rules  and 
with  Industry  Canada. 
This  device  complies  with  Part 
15 of the  FCC  Rules. 
Operation  is  subject  to  the following  two conditions: 
(1) this device  may  not  cause  harmful  interference, 
and 
(2) this  device  must  accept  any  interference 
received,  including  interference  that  may  cause 
undesired  operation.  This  device  complies  with 
RSS-210 of 
Industry  Canada. 
Operation  is  subject  to  the  following  two  conditions: 
(1) this  device  may  not cause  interference,  and (2) this 
device  must  accept  any  interference  received,  including 
interference  that  may cause  undesired  operation 
of 
the device. 
Changes  or  modifications  to  this system  by  other  than 
an 
authorized  service  facility  could  void  authorization  to 
use  this  equipment. 
The  range  of this  system  is  about 
30 feet (9 m).  At  times 
you  may  notice 
a decrease  in  range.  This is  normal  for 
any 
RKE system.  If  the  transmitter  does  not  work  or if 
you  have  to  stand  closer  to  your  vehicle  for the 
transmitter 
to work,  try  this: 
Check  to  determine  if  battery  replacement  is 
necessary.  See  the  instructions  that  follow. 
Check  the  distance.  You  may  be  too far from  your 
vehicle.  You  may  need  to  stand  closer  during  rainy 
or  snowy  weather. 
Check  the location.  Other  vehicles  or  objects  may  be 
blocking  the signal.  Take  a few  steps  to  the  left  or 
right,  hold  the  transmitter  higher,  and 
try again. 
If  you’re  still  having  trouble,  see  your  dealer or a 
qualified  technician  for  service.

PASS-Key' 111 
Your  vehicle  is equipped  with  the PASS-Key I11 
(Personalized  Automotive  Security  System) 
theft-deterrent  system.  PASS-Key 
111 is  a  passive 
theft-deterrent  system.  This  means  you  don't  have  to  do 
anything  different  to  arm  or  disarm  the  system.  It works 
when  you  insert 
or remove  the  key  from  the  ignition.  Your  PASS-Key 
I11 system  operates  on a radio 
frequency  subject 
to Federal  Communications 
Commission  (FCC)  Rules  and  with  Industry  Canada. 
This device  complies  with  Part  15  of  the  FCC  Rules. 
Operation  is  subject  to  the  following  two  conditions:

of the  device. 
Changes  or  modifications  to  this  system  by  other  than  an  authorized  service  facility  could  void  authorization  to

PASS-Key 
111 uses  a  radio  frequency  transponder  in  the 
key  that  matches  a  decoder  in  your  vehicle. 
When  the  PASS-Key 
111 system  senses  that  someone  is 
using 
the wrong  key,  it shuts  down  the  vehicle's  starter 
and  fuel  systems.  The starter  will  not  work  and  fuel  will 
stop  being  delivered  to  the  engine.  Anyone  using  a 
trial-and-error  method 
to start  the vehicle  will  be 
discouraged  because  of the  high  number  of  electrical 
key  codes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ignition  Positions 
With the ignition  key  in  the  ignition  switch,  you  can  turn 
the  key  to  four  different  positions: 
OFF: This  position  lets you 
turn 
off the  engine  and 
remove  the  key.  It doesn’t 
lock  the  steering  wheel. 
NOTICE: 
If  your  key  seems  stuck  in  OFF  and  you  can’t 
turn  it, be  sure  you  are  using  the  correct  key;  if 
so, is  it  all  the  way  in?  Turn  the  key  only  with 
your  hand.  Using  a  tool  to  force  it  could  break 
the  key 
or the  ignition  switch.  If  none  of  this 
works,  then  your  vehicle  needs  service. 
- ~ 
ACC: This position  lets  you  use  things  like  the  radio  and 
the  windshield  wipers  when  the  engine  is 
off. Use ACC if 
you  must  have  your  vehicle  in  motion  while 
the engine  is 
off (for  example,  if  your  vehicle  is being  pushed). 
ON: This  is the  position  for driving. 
START This  starts  the  engine. 
Retained  Accessory  Power (RAP) 
The  following  accessories on your  vehicle  may  be  used 
for  up  to 
10 minutes  after  the  ignition  key  is turned  from 
ON to OFF: 
Cellular  Phone  (If  Equipped) 
Radio 
Power  Windows 
Steering  Wheel  Controls  (If  Equipped) 
Express  Sunroof  (Option) 
Power  to  these  accessories  stops  after 
10 minutes  or  if 
any  door  is opened.  If  you  want  power  for another 
10 minutes,  close  all  the  doors,  turn  the  ignition key to 
ON and  then  back  to OFF. If the  cellular  phone  is being 
used  while  Retained  Accessory  Power  is in  effect,  the 
timer  is  suspended  (to  avoid  interruption  of the  call). 
The  timer  resets  to 
10 minutes  at the  end  of  the  call.
