But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid
the damage.

press the UNLOCK button within five seconds of
programming the memory button. You will hear a
chime to confirm programming of the transmitter.
When your vehicle is in PARK (P), push and release the
numbered memory button you just stored. The seat will
move to the set position. You will hear one chime.

need not be reprogrammed unless it needs to correspond
to the other numbered memory button.
If there is a third driver, use the seat adjuster switch to
adjust the seat.
Pressing any of the seat adjuster switches, the SET
button or pressing the desired memory button twice will
cause the seat to stop moving. If you push the numbered
button to adjust the seat and start the vehicle while the
seat is still adjusting, adjustment will pause while the
ignition is in START. Adjustment will resume after the
ignition is in RUN.Heated Front Seats
This control is located on
the side of the seat. This
feature will quickly heat the
lower cushion and lower
back of the driver and front
passenger seats for
added comfort.
Press the lower part of the switch to turn the heater on
low. Press the upper part of the switch to turn the heater
on high. Put the switch in the center position to turn the
heater off.
The passenger's safety belt must be engaged for the
heated seat feature to work on the passenger's seat.
