be programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button ª2º. 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

the EXIT button. The exit position for either previously set
driver can be recalled by pressing the EXIT button.
Heated Seats (Option)
This option is only available if your vehicle is equipped
with the power lumbar control feature.

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.

Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on AUTO and the temperature between
65F (18C) and 85F (29C). That will
force outside air into your vehicle. See
ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock Release
The trunk lock release button
is located on the left side of
the instrument panel below
the lamp controls. To use this
feature, your vehicle must
be in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) and the
VALET lockout button must
be in the OFF position.
To open the trunk, press the trunk lock release
button upward.
You can also press the trunk release button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to access the
trunk compartment.

2-14 Trunk Lid Tie Down
CAUTION:
Driving with the trunk lid open can allow
dangerous CO (carbon monoxide) gas to come
into your vehicle. You can't see or smell CO. It
can cause unconsciousness and even death. If you
ever need to drive with your trunk lid open, then:

Make sure all windows, the rear seat
pass
-through and sunroof are closed.

Turn the fan on your heating and cooling
system to its highest speed, with the setting
on VENT. This forces fresh outside air into
your vehicle.

Open all air ducts on the instrument panel.
Don't use the Trunk Lid Tie Down if you are
towing a trailer, or if you are carrying a pet in the
trunk, because of the danger of CO.
This feature is used to secure the trunk lid if it will not
close completely, such as when carrying large packages
in the trunk.
1. Attach the end loop of the tie down to the retainer
located at the center of the trunk sill (see view B).
2. Attach the clip end of the tie down to the D
-ring on
the trunk lid (see view A).
3. Tighten the tie down by pulling the free end of the
cord until secure.
4. To remove the tie down, press the clip end to release
and loosen the cord.

NOTICE:
If your front wheels can't rotate, don't try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid
object. You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could cause overheating and damage
the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your
vehicle in position on a hill.
Parking Brake
Hold the regular brake
pedal down with your right
foot and push the parking
brake pedal down with your
left foot to set the parking
brake. If the ignition is on,
the PARK indicator light
should come on. If it
doesn't, you need to have
your vehicle serviced.
If the parking brake has not been fully released and you
try to drive with the parking brake on, the PARK
indicator light comes on and stays on. See ªParking
Brake Indicator Lightº in the Index for
more information.

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
(Option)
The ashtrays and cigarette lighters may be ordered
through your dealer.
NOTICE:
Don't put papers or other flammable items into
your ashtrays. Hot cigarettes or other smoking
materials could ignite them, causing a
damaging fire.
Front Ashtray
Press on the lower edge of the cover of the console
located below the climate control system to reveal the
front ashtray. To clean the ashtray, lift it out by pulling
on the snuffer.
Rear Ashtray
To use the rear ashtray, lift the lid. For more
information, see your dealer.
Cigarette Lighter
The front cigarette lighter is located near the ashtray.
Press it all the way in and release. It will pop back by
itself when it's ready to light. You may also have a
lighter on the back of the center console near the rear
seat air outlet.
Note: Power to the cigarette lighter will shut off 10
minutes after the ignition is turned off. This helps to
prevent battery drainage. For more information, see
ªInadvertent Power Battery Saverº in the Index.
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.

2-71 Traction Control System Warning Light
United States Canada
This warning light should come on briefly as you start
the engine. If the warning light doesn't come on then,
have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a
problem. If it stays on, or comes on when you're
driving, there may be a problem with your traction
control system and your vehicle may need service.
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system warning light may come on
for the following reasons:

If there's a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control system
will turn off and the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system is affected by an
engine
-related problem, the system will turn off and
the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
This light tells you that the
engine has overheated. You
should stop the car and turn
the engine off as soon
as possible.
A warning chime should also sound if this light comes
on. As a check, the light should come on for a few
seconds when you start your engine. See ªEngine
Overheatingº in the Index.

2-72 Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
United States Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
If the gage pointer moves into the red area, the
engine is too hot.
That reading means the same thing as the warning
light
-- the engine coolant has overheated.
See ªEngine Overheatingº in the Index.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine Soon Light)
United States Canada
Your vehicle is equipped with a computer which
monitors operation of the fuel, ignition and emission
control systems.
This system is called OBD II (On
-Board
Diagnostics
-Second Generation) and is intended to assure
that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the
vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. The
SERVICE ENGINE SOON light comes on and a chime
will sound to indicate that there is a problem and service is
required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by the
system before any problem is apparent. This may prevent
more serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also
designed to assist your service technician in correctly
diagnosing any malfunction.

CHECK FUEL GAGE - 50: This message will appear
when the fuel supply is less than 5 gallons (18.9 L) and
the display is turned off. A single chime will also sound
when this message is displayed.
CHECK GAS CAP
- 61: This message will appear if
the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
recheck your gas cap to ensure that it's fully tightened.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
- 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface. A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for a few
minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See ªEngine
Oilº in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID
- 25: This message will
appear for several seconds to indicate that you need
washer solvent.DRIVER DOOR AJAR
- 140: This message will
display anytime the key is in ON and the driver's door is
open or ajar. A chime will also sound when the vehicle's
speed is greater than 3 mph (4.8 km/h).
DRIVER NO. X (1 OR 2) : This message will appear when
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) is used. The message will
show which driver is activating the personalization feature. It
will only stay on for five seconds. This message can be
customized for you by your dealer.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT, IDLE ENGINE
- 44:
This message will appear when the engine coolant
temperature is over 262
F (128
C). Stop and allow your
vehicle to idle in PARK (P) until it cools down and the
message is removed. Do not increase engine speed
above a normal idle. If it does not cool down, turn off
the engine and have it serviced before driving it again.
Severe engine damage can result from an overheated
engine. See ªEngine Overheatingº in the Index.
ENGINE HOT
-AC OFF - 16: This message displays
when the engine coolant becomes hotter than the normal
operating temperature. To avoid added strain on a hot
engine, the air conditioning compressor is automatically
turned off. When the coolant temperature returns to
normal, the A/C operation will automatically resume.
You can continue to drive your vehicle. If this message
continues to appear, have the system repaired as soon as
possible to avoid compressor damage.
