Memory Seat Recall (If Equipped)
This feature recalls the position of your seat. When this
feature is active, the memory seat and mirror positions
will be recalled for the identified driver when the remote
keyless entry transmitter is used to enter the vehicle.
You can program this feature to be active by choosing
ON when the SEAT RECALL choice appears, or
inactive by choosing OFF when the SEAT RECALL
choice appears on the DIC. Make your choices by
pressing the RESET button and store them to memory
by pressing the SELECT button.
You can also program this feature to recall your memory
seat position or the exit seat position.

Memory Position: Choose ON when the SEAT
RECALL choice appears and then choose MEMORY
when the RECALL POSITION choice appears.

Exit Position: Choose ON when the SEAT RECALL
choice appears and then choose EXIT when the
RECALL POSITION choice appears. The seat will
move when you enter the vehicle after unlocking it
with a remote keyless entry transmitter. This will
allow for easy entry.
For more information on this feature, see ªMemory Seat
and Mirrorsº in the Index.Parallel Park Assist (If Equipped)
The parallel park assist mirror, which tips the passenger
mirror while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R), can be
made active or inactive through the DIC. When TILT
MIRROR
- OFF/ON appears on the display, use the
RESET button to toggle the arrow between OFF and
ON. When you have made your choice, press the
SELECT button to record your selection. For more
information on this feature, see ªMirrorsº in the Index.
Driver ID
This feature displays the DRIVER ID, as identified by
the DIC. If this feature is ON, the DRIVER ID will be
displayed every time the ignition is turned on. If the
DRIVER ID is OFF, the DRIVER ID can be displayed
by pressing either a button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a memory seat button.

Head-Up Display (Option)
CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in
your field of view, it may take you more time to
see things you need to see when it's dark outside.
Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
If you have the optional Head-Up Display (HUD), you
can see some of the driver information also available on
your instrument panel cluster. The information may be
displayed in English or metric units and appears as
a reflection on the windshield. The HUD shows
the following:

Speedometer Reading

Turn Signal Indicators

High
-beam Indicator Symbol

CHECK GAGES Message (for low oil pressure,
high coolant temperature, low oil level, high/low
battery, brake, ABS and air bag.)

Low Fuel Warning Symbol

Radio Frequency and Playback Mode

2-104
HUD shows these images when they are lighted on the
instrument panel.
The speedometer may display a difference of 1.5 mph
(2.4 km/h) from the HUD image. This is normal.
When the ignition key is turned to ON, all possible
HUD images will come on, then the HUD will
operate normally.If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you
may not see something important, such as a warning
light. So be sure to scan your displays and controls and
the driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD.
NOTICE:
Although the HUD image appears to be near
the front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking
aid. The HUD was not designed for that purpose.
If you try to use it that way, such as in a
parking lot, you may misjudge distance
and run into something.

2-105
The HUD controls are located to the left of the
steering column.
1. Start your engine and turn the HUD dimmer all of
the way clockwise.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by
ambient light, and where you have set the HUD
dimmer control.
2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before setting the
height control.
Press and hold the top of the IMAGE (image height)
control, raising the HUD image as far as possible.
Then press on the bottom of the HUD image height
control to move the image down, so the image is as
low as possible, but in full view.
3. Turn the dimmer control counterclockwise until the
HUD image is no brighter than necessary. To turn the
HUD off, turn the HUD dimmer control all the
way counterclockwise.

2-106
If the sun comes out, or it becomes cloudy, or if you turn
on your headlamps, you may need to adjust the HUD
brightness using the HUD dimmer control. Polarized
sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the HUD image.
Spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth.
Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray
cleaner directly on the lens, because the cleaner fluid
could leak inside the unit.If you can't see the HUD image when the ignition is on,
check to see if:

The HUD unit is covered,

the HUD dimmer control is adjusted correctly,

the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height, or

a fuse in the fuse panel may have blown. See ªFuses
and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
If the HUD image is not clear, it could be too bright.
Move the HUD dimmer control further downward.
You may need to clean the windshield and HUD lens.
Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one
designed for HUD. If you don't, the HUD image may
look blurred and out of focus.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system
work for you.
With these systems, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has a flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger
compartment air filter. For more information, see
ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in the Index.
Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings for temperature,
air delivery mode and fan speed. The personal choice
settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used
to enter the vehicle. After the button with the unlock
symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed,
and the ignition is in ON, the climate control will adjust
to the last settings of the identified driver. The settings
can also be changed by pressing one of the memory
buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver's door, until you
hear two beeps. When adjustments are made, the new
settings are automatically saved for that driver.
Standard Climate Control System
Fan Knob
The left knob regulates the force of the air coming
through the system. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed and counterclockwise to decrease the fan
speed. Push this knob to turn the fan off. The fan must
be on to run the air conditioning compressor.
Temperature Knob
The right knob regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn it toward the blue area
for cooler air. Turn it toward the red area for warmer air.

3-3
Mode Buttons
You may choose the direction of air delivery by
selecting one of the five mode control buttons.
PANEL: This setting directs airflow through the
upper air outlets located in the instrument panel.
BI-LEVEL: This setting directs airflow through
both the upper air outlets and the lower floor outlets.
There is also a small amount of air directed to the front
defroster and the side window defrosters.
FLOOR: This setting directs most of the airflow
to the lower floor outlets with some airflow directed to
the side window defrosters. There is also a small amount
of airflow directed to the front defroster.
DEFOG: This setting directs most of the airflow to
the lower floor outlets and the front windshield defroster.
A small amount of airflow is directed to the side window
defroster outlets. This mode can be useful to remove the
moisture from the inside of the windshield when the
outside temperature is cold or the humidity is high.
FRONT: This setting directs most of the airflow to
the front windshield defroster with some airflow to the
side window defrosters and lower floor outlets.
To improve windshield clearing performance when you
select FRONT defrost, your air conditioning compressor
will run automatically above approximately 40
F (4
C).
This dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield. Even
though the compressor may be running, the A/C light will
not come on in FRONT defrost unless you select A/C.
Recirc Button
RECIRC: Press this button to limit the amount of
outside air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when
you are trying to quickly cool the interior of the vehicle
or to limit odors entering the vehicle. RECIRC may be
selected in all manual airflow modes except FRONT
defrost. If you select RECIRC while in defrost, the
RECIRC light will flash to let you know that this is
not allowed. This is to help prevent fogging.
