A second mirror, seating and steering wheel position
can be programmed by repeating the above steps and
pressing button ª2º (for driver 2). Each time a memory
button is pressed, a single beep will sound. Each time
button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while the vehicle is
in PARK (P), the memory positions will be recalled.
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,
1 and 2, correspond to the numbers on the buttons on
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.

The best way to protect the fetus is to protect
the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it's
more likely that the fetus won't be hurt in a crash.
For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to
making safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger's
safety belt properly, see ªDriver Positionº earlier in
this section.
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same
way as the driver's safety belt
-- except for one thing.
If you ever pull the lap portion of the belt out all the
way, you will engage the child restraint locking feature.
If this happens, just let the belt go back all the way and
start again.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR) Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) systems or
air bag systems.
Your vehicle has four air bags
-- a frontal air bag
for the driver, another frontal air bag for the right front
passenger, a side impact air bag for the driver, and
another side impact air bag for the right front passenger.
Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk
of injury from the force of an inflating frontal air bag.
But these air bags must inflate very quickly to do their
job and comply with federal regulations.

1-30 Automatic Occupant Sensor (AOS) System
Your vehicle may have an automatic system that will turn
off the right front passenger's frontal and side impact air
bags under certain conditions. The driver's frontal and
side impact air bags are not part of the AOS system.
United States CanadaIf the rearview mirror in your vehicle has PASSENGER
AIR BAG on it, your vehicle has the AOS system.
When you turn the key to ON or START, the words ON
and OFF will come on in the rearview mirror. See
ªPASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF Lightº in the Index.
If your rearview mirror doesn't have the words
PASSENGER AIR BAG on it, your vehicle doesn't
have the AOS system.
The AOS system works with sensors that are part of the
right front passenger's seat. The sensors are designed
to detect the presence of an occupant on the seat and
determine if the passenger's frontal and side impact
air bags should be on or off.

1-33 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual
have information about servicing your vehicle and the
air bag systems. To purchase a service manual, see
ªService and Owner Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected,
an air bag can still inflate during improper
service. You can be injured if you are close to an
air bag when it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors.
They are probably part of the air bag systems.
Be sure to follow proper service procedures, and
make sure the person performing work for you is
qualified to do so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners. You'll find
them on the buckle end of the safety belts for the
driver and right front passenger. They help the safety
belts reduce a person's forward movement in a
moderate to severe crash in which the front of the
vehicle hits something.
Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a crash,
you'll need to get new ones, and probably other new
parts for your safety belt system. See ªReplacing
Restraint System Parts After a Crashº in the Index.

CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate the power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle move. If they
turned the ignition to ACC or ON and moved the
shift lever out of PARK (P), that would release
the parking brake. Don't leave the keys in a
vehicle with children.

Master Key Valet Key
There is a master key that works all of the lock cylinders
(driver's door, trunk, ignition and glove box).
There is also a VALET key which only operates the
driver's door and the ignition.Your vehicle has the PASS
-Key
III vehicle theft
system. Both the master and VALET key have a
transponder in the key head that matches a decoder in
the vehicle's instrument panel. If a replacement key or
any additional key is needed, you must purchase this key
from your dealer. The key will have PK3 stamped on it.
Keep the bar code tag that came with the original keys.
Give this tag to your dealer if you need a new key made.
Any new PASS
-Key III key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. See ªPASS
-Key IIIº in
the Index for more information on programming your
new key.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside and you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in. Be sure you have an
extra key.
