A second mirror, seating and steering wheel position may
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
full up and the seat full back. However, two personalized
exit positions can be set by first recalling the driving
position (Driver ª1º or ª2º), positioning the wheel and
seat in the desired exit positions and then pressing the
MEMORY SET button 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 Seats (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 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 reclining front seatback
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 down to
adjust the headrest and
shoulder belt.

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 position 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)

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 and 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.

Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see ªClimate Control
Personalizationº and ªRadio Personalizationº in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel. For
more information on the DIC, see ªDIC Messagesº in
the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first stared after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is to
allow the air surrounding the outside temperature sensor
to be as close to the actual outside conditions as
possible. This is determined by how much time has
elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by
vehicle speed.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS)
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 DIC
will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message.
If this message appears, have your vehicle serviced at
your dealership.

tape is playing, with an arrow to indicate which side of
the tape is playing.
