Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and held while the
vehicle is out of PARK (P), the memory positions will
be recalled.
To stop recall movement of the memory seat and
steering wheel at any time, press one of the power seat,
steering wheel or mirror controls.
Two personalized exit positions can be set by first
recalling the driving position (by pressing 1 or 2),
then positioning the steering wheel and seat in the
desired exit positions and then pressing and releasing
the MEMORY SET button and, within five seconds,
pressing the EXIT button. With the vehicle in PARK (P),
the exit position for either previously set driver can be
recalled by pressing the EXIT button. The mirrors,
power lumbar and power head restraint and shoulder belt
height positions will not be stored or recalled for the
exit positions.If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to enter
your vehicle, automatic seat and mirror movement will
occur. The numbers on the back of the transmitters,

the door panel.
When the key is placed in the ignition in OFF or when
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, the seats and mirrors will automatically
adjust to the programmed position.
Programming for automatic seat, steering wheel and
mirror movement is done through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). You can choose to either select or not
select automatic seat and mirror movement using the
remote keyless entry transmitter, placing your key in
the ignition, or by exiting the vehicle. For programming
information, see ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

1-29
Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors and turn the interior lamps on when the air
bags inflate (if battery power is available). You can lock
the doors again and turn the interior lamps off by using
the door lock and interior lamp controls.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur from
the right front passenger air bag.

Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an
air bag inflates, you'll need some new parts for your
air bag system. If you don't get them, the air bag
system won't be there to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include air bag modules
and possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic frontal
sensor, which helps the sensing system distinguish
between a moderate frontal impact and a more
severe frontal impact. Your vehicle is also equipped
with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which
records information about the frontal air bag system. The module records information about the readiness
of the system, when the system commands air bag
inflation and driver's safety belt usage at
deployment. The module also records speed, engine
rpm, brake and throttle data.

Let only qualified technicians work on your air
bag systems. Improper service can mean that an
air bag system won't work properly. See your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver's
or the right front passenger's air bag, or the
air bag covering on the driver's and right front
passenger's seatback, the bag may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag
module in the steering wheel, both the air bag
module and the instrument panel for the right
front passenger's air bag, or both the air bag
module and seatback for the driver's and right
front passenger's side impact air bag. Do not
open or break the air bag coverings.

2-23
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,
windshield wipers, power windows and sunroof (option)
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 or towed).
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

Audio Steering Wheel Controls

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 active, the
timer is suspended (to avoid interruption of the call).
The timer resets to 10 minutes at the end of the call.

2-38
Power Tilt and Telescopic Wheel
(If Equipped)
The power tilt wheel control
is located on the outboard
side of the steering column.
To operate the power tilt feature, push the control up and
the steering wheel will tilt up. Push the control down
and the steering wheel will go down.If the power tilt control is pressed up or down and held
in that position, there will be a slight movement and a
slight pause followed by a continuous movement in the
direction the control is being pressed. This allows very
fine control of the steering wheel position. If the control
is bumped, the steering wheel moves approximately
one degree in the direction commanded.
Push the control forward and the steering wheel moves
toward the front of the vehicle. Push the control
rearward and the steering wheel moves toward the rear
of the vehicle. To set the memory position, see ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº and
ªMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheelº in
the Index.

Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
This feature is located on
the driver's door armrest.
Move the L/R select switch
located under the power
mirror control to choose the
left or right mirror.
To adjust the mirror, move the arrow control in the
direction you want the mirror to go. Leave the L/R select
switch in the center position to disable mirror movement.
This is helpful in preventing unwanted mirror movement
in case the control is accidentally bumped while driving.
Adjust each outside mirror so the vehicle is barely
visible in the mirror to maximize your side view.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
and parallel parking feature if you have the optional
memory package. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheelº and ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in the
Index. For information on the heated outside mirrors,
see ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
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.
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.
This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.

2-98
STABILITY SYS ENGAGED - 55: You may see
the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message on the
Driver Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer
-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you're
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or
other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on,
you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal.
When the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message 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
SYS ENGAGED message comes on, you'll know that
something has caused your vehicle to start to spin,
so you should consider slowing down.
