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, 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.

Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) (ETC Only)
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response. If the
controller detects a problem within the system, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message. If this message
appears, have your vehicle serviced at your dealership.
Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns. To see the display, press the SKIP
INFO button several times until XX OIL LIFE LEFT
appears. If you see 99% OIL LIFE LEFT, 99 percent of
your current oil life remains.
