Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the power seats -- how to
adjust them, and also about the reclining front seatbacks,
memory seats, lumbar adjustments, heated seats and
head restraints.
Power Seats
The power seat controls, located on the front doors,
move and adjust the angle of the front seats.

Move the seat cushion control forward or rearward
to move the entire seat.
Moving the seat cushion control up or down adjusts
the seat height.

Lifting up or pressing down on the front part of the
seat control adjusts the front angle of the seat cushion.

Lifting up or pressing down on the rear part of the
seat control adjusts the rear angle of the seat cushion.
Power Lumbar Control (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 ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
Massaging Lumbar (If Equipped)
Push the lumbar control, located on the outboard side of
each front seat, up for half a second to activate the
massage feature. The massage cycle will run
continuously for 10 minutes and can be interrupted by
pushing the lumbar control down briefly. The lumbar
support can be adjusted during the massage cycle by
moving the switch forward to increase support and
rearward to decrease support. The massage cycle will
continue to run even if the ignition is turned to OFF,
unless interrupted.
Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
Automatic seat and mirror movement will occur if the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) 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.
Automatic seat and mirror movement is programmed
through the Driver Information Center (DIC) so that the
driver can select whether or not movement will occur
using the RKE transmitter or by placing the ignition key
in the ignition. For programming information, see
ªMemory and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

2-8 Operation
When you press this symbol to unlock the driver's
door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will blink twice.
(You can program your vehicle so the parking lamps
will not flash. For more information, see ªLock/Unlock
Confirmationº in the Index.) Pressing this symbol again
within five seconds will unlock the other doors. Pressing
this symbol will also disarm the theft
-deterrent system
(if equipped) and turn on the interior lamps at night.
When you press this symbol to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will blink once. (You can program your
vehicle so the parking lamps will not flash. For more
information, see ªLock/Unlock Confirmationº in the
Index.) This also arms the theft
-deterrent system (if
equipped).
Press this symbol to open the trunk. (The VALET
lockout button must be off for this feature to work.)
Press this button to open the fuel door. (The VALET
lockout button must be off for this feature to work.)
The remote keyless entry transmitter can also be used to
recall the memory settings for up to two drivers. For
more information, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in
the Index.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Once your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four
transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

4. Press the COMPASS button on the bottom of the
mirror until the new zone number appears in the
display. After you stop pressing the button, the
display will show a ªCº in the direction display
within a few seconds. (This is the automatic calibration
mode
-- you'll need to drive in a circle to calibrate the
mirror. See ªCompass Calibrationº following.)
Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
The control on the
driver's door armrest
operates both outside
rearview mirrors. Rotate
the control knob to choose
the right or left mirror.
To adjust the mirror, push the control knob in the
direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each mirror
so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area
behind your vehicle.
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog
or ice.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
if you have the optional memory package. For more
information, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in
the Index.

2-52 Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
Only the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the
glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is
controlled by the on and off settings on the
electrochromic mirror. See ªElectrochromic Day/Night
Rearview Mirror with Compassº in the Index.
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 feature will cause the passenger's mirror to
tilt to a preselected position programmed through the
Driver Information Center 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's mirror
will return to its original position.
If further 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.
CAUTION:
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.

Memory and Personalization
Features (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 ª1.º
A second mirror and seating position may be
programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button ª2º 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. Releasing the buttons will stop adjustment.
The EXIT button can be programmed to allow easy exit
for up to two drivers. Adjust the seat to a comfortable
ªexitº position and then press the SET button followed
by the EXIT button. While your vehicle is in PARK (P),
briefly press the EXIT button to recall your programmed
exit position.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.
HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See ªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº
in the Index.
FAN SPEED: Press the up arrow lever to
increase the fan speed and the down arrow lever to
decrease fan speed.
TEMP: Press the up arrow lever to increase
the temperature and the down arrow lever to
decrease temperature.
Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter (ª1º or ª2º) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the ignition key is placed in the ignition
(the ignition must be turned to LOCK), the climate
control settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set. The settings can also be changed by briefly
pressing the memory seat buttons 1 or 2 located on the
driver's door.

3-36 Radio Personalization with Home and Away
Feature (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the AM-FM Stereo with
Cassette Tape Player and 1 (H or A) or 2 (H or A)
appears in the display when the radio is first turned on,
your vehicle is equipped with this feature. If your
vehicle is equipped with any other audio system and
DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or DRIVER 2
(HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears in the display
when the radio is first turned on, your vehicle is
equipped with this feature.
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings. The settings
recalled by the radio are determined by which Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (ª1º or ª2º) was used
to enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the RKE
transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. The
radio settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set by the identified driver. The settings can
also be recalled by briefly pressing the MEMORY seat
buttons 1 or 2 located on the driver's door.Your radio can store home and away presets. Home and
away presets allow you to use one set of preset radio
settings in the area where you live, and another set when
you go out of town. That way, you will not need to
reprogram your presets every time you travel. With the
radio off and the clock displayed, use FF and RW to
select home or away presets. To select the away presets,
press and hold FF for five counts until you hear a beep.
The next time the radio comes on, the away presets will
be active. To select the home presets, press and hold RW
for five counts until you hear a beep. The next time the
radio comes on, the home presets will be active.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home radio presets because
the radio remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio presets.
