If your vehicle has this feature, the controls on the driver's
door panel are used to program and recall previous settings.
You can use this feature to save your driver's seat position,
lumbar adjustment, outside mirror positions, personalization
features, comfort controls and radio settings.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the lumbar adjustments)
and both outside mirrors to the position you would like
for driving. Then press and hold memory button 1 for more
than three seconds. A double beep will sound when the
memory is set.
To set the seat and mirror positions for a second driver,
follow the previous steps, but press button 2 instead.You can also store an exit position for each driver.
The exit position is programmed by moving the seat to
the desired exit position and then holding the exit button
for more than three seconds. The exit position set will be
for the most recently selected driving position (1 or 2).
Please note that mirror and lumbar positions will not be
stored or recalled for the exit position.
To recall your memory positions, your vehicle must be in
PARK (P). Push and release the memory button (1 or 2)
corresponding to the desired driving position. The seat and
mirrors will move to the position previously stored for the
identified driver. You will hear one beep.
To recall the exit position, your vehicle must be in
PARK (P). Push and release the EXIT button and the
seat will move to the exit position previously stored for
the current identified driver. You will hear one beep.
If an exit position has not been stored for the current
identified driver, the seat will move all the way back.
To stop recall movement of the seat at any time, press
the driver's power seat control located on the outboard
side of the front seat.
If you would like your stored driving or exit position to be
recalled when unlocking your vehicle with the transmitter,
see ªDIC Personal Choice Programmingº in the Index.

2-54 Power Remote Control Mirrors
The controls for the power
remote mirror are located
on the driver's door armrest.
Move the L/R selector switch located beneath the
control pad to choose the left or right mirror.
To adjust the mirror, press the on the arrows located on
the control pad in the direction you want the mirror to go.
Leave the L/R selector switch in the center position, to
prevent unwanted mirror movement in case the control
pad is accidentally bumped while driving. Adjust each
outside mirror so that you can see a little of your vehicle,
and the area behind your vehicle.
Parallel Park Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If you have the Memory Seat and Mirrors feature,
the passenger's outside rearview mirror includes a
tilt
-down feature that operates when the shift lever is
in REVERSE (R). This feature assists the driver with
improved rear obstacle detection. When the vehicle is
shifted out of REVERSE (R), the passenger mirror will
return to its original position after a five
-second delay.
This delay prevents movement of the mirror if multiple
gear transitions (REVERSE (R) to AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (
) to REVERSE (R)) occur
during a parallel parking maneuver. This feature can
be programmed on or off through the personal choice
selection menu. See ªDIC Personal Choice Programmingº
in the Index for programming instructions.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from
the driver's seat.

is on, you should continue to steer in the direction you
want to go. The system is designed to help you in bad
weather or other difficult driving situations by making
the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on,
you'll know that something has caused your vehicle to
start to spin, so you should consider slowing down.

of your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
will recall the information from the last transmitter used
or the last driver using the memory seat controls. If this
happens and you were not the last driver of the vehicle,
simply press your correct driver number on the memory
seat controls or press the button with the unlock symbol
