seat and mirror movement is programmed through the
Driver Information Center (DIC) so that the driver can
select whether the seat moves to the programmed
driving position, the programmed exit position, or does
not move at all. For memory seat and mirror recall
programming instructions, see ªDIC Personal Choice
Programmingº in the Index.

the mirror if multiple gear transitions (reverse to drive to
reverse) occur during a parallel parking maneuver. This
feature can be programmed on or off through the
Personal Choice selection menu. See ªDriver
Information Centerº or ªPersonal Choice Featuresº in
