Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the power seats -- how to
adjust them, and also about the reclining front seatbacks,
lumbar adjustments, head restraints, heated seats and
seatback latches.
Power Seats
The power seat controls are located on the outboard side
of the front seat cushion.

Move the front of the control in the direction of the
arrows to adjust the front portion of the cushion up
or down.

Move the rear of the control in the direction of the arrows
to adjust the rear portion of the cushion up or down.

Lift up or push down on both outer arrows at the
same time to move the entire seat up or down.
To move the whole seat forward or rearward, slide
the control in the direction of the center arrow.
Power Lumbar Control (Option)
If you have this option, the
driver's and passenger's
seatback lumbar support can
be adjusted four ways by
moving the single switch
located on the outboard side
of the seat.
To increase or decrease support, hold the switch forward
or rearward. To move the lumbar up and down, hold the
switch upward or downward.
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.

1-3 Massaging Lumbar (If Equipped)
Push the power lumbar control up for half a second to
activate the massage feature. The massage cycle will run
for 10 minutes. The cycle can be interrupted by pushing
the lumbar control down and holding for not more than
half a second. The cycle will continue to run even if the
ignition is turned to OFF. The lumbar support can be
adjusted during the massage cycle by moving the switch
forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support.
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.
Heated Front Seat (Option)
The control is located in the
center console. Move the
switch to LO or HI to turn
on the heating elements in
the 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.
A telltale light in the control reminds you that the
heating system is in use. The heated seats can only be
used when the ignition is turned on.

2-7 Operation
When you press this button 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 it again within
five seconds will unlock the other doors. Pressing this
button will also disarm the theft
-deterrent system
(if equipped) and turn on the interior lamps at night.
When you press this button 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.)
Press this button to open the fuel door.
(The VALET lockout button must be off.)
The remote keyless entry transmitter can also be used
to recall the memory seats 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 up to
four transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two 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.

2-45 Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
Your vehicle has an electric
mirror control located on
the driver's door armrest.
Move the R/L switch in the middle of the control to
choose the right (passenger's side) or left (driver's side)
mirror. To adjust the mirror, push the arrow control 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.
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.
To activate the heated mirrors, press the rear window
defogger button. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in
the Index.
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 when the vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R). This
feature may be useful in allowing you to view the curb
when you are parallel parking (selected/programmed
through personalization on the DIC).
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. The mirror then returns to its original position.

Memory and Personalization Features
(If Equipped)

features that can be individually programmed,
memorized or personalized for up to two drivers.
For a brief description of each feature, see each feature

If your vehicle is in PARK (P), you can recall mirror and
seating positions by briefly pressing button 1 or 2.

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.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces 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. SeeªAudio
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)
This feature allows both driver's (driver 1 or 2 depending
on the number on the back of your remote keyless entry
transmitter) to personalize their own climate control
settings. For more information, see ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Setting the Clock
Press and hold HR or MN until the time display begins
to change. Release the button as you get close to the
correct time. The time may be set anytime the clock is
