1-4 Power Lumbar Control (Option)
The lumbar control
is located on the
outboard side of
each front seat.
Use the power seat control first to get the proper
position. Then proceed with the lumbar adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, press the lumbar control
forward to increase support and rearward to decrease
support. Press the control up or down to raise or lower
the support mechanism.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as it
may during long trips, so should the position of your
lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.
Memory Seat and Mirrors (Option)
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.

1-5
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 power seat control located on the outboard side of
the driver's front seat.
If you would like your stored driving or exit position to
be recalled when unlocking your vehicle with the
transmitter, see ªDIC Personalization Programming,
Memory Seat Recallº in the Index.Heated Front Seats (Option)
This option is only available if your vehicle is equipped
with the power lumbar control.
The heated front seat
controls are located on the
center console.
Push the ON part of the button once for a HI setting or
twice for a LO setting. Push the OFF part of the button
to turn the heated seat off. The LO setting warms the
seatback and cushion until the seat approximates body
temperature. The HI setting heats the seatback and
cushion to a slightly higher temperature.
The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is
turned on. The heating elements in the seats
automatically turn off when the vehicle's ignition is
turned off.

If your vehicle is equipped with the memory seat and
mirrors feature, these mirror positions, along with the
driver's seat position can be stored in memory.
See ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
Parallel Park Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If you have the memory seat and mirrors feature, the
passenger's outside rearview mirror also includes a
tilt
-down feature that operates when the shift lever is in
REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R), the passenger's 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 DRIVE (D) to
REVERSE (R)) occur during a parallel parking
maneuver. This feature can be programmed on or off
through the DIC personalization programming menu.
See ªDIC Personalization 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.
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.
Heated Outside Mirror (Option)
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver's and passenger's outside
mirrors to help clear them of ice and snow.

2-96
Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in the
ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not know
they are there. As an example, many concrete roads
have metal reinforcements inside.
Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect
accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.
Driver Identifier DIC Display
This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall
their own preferred display mode. The personalization
settings displayed on the DIC are determined by the
transmitter used to enter the vehicle. After the unlock
button of a remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped)
is pressed and the ignition is in ON, the DIC will display
the identified driver. The settings can also be changed by
briefly pressing one of the MEMORY buttons located on
the driver's door.
The DIC is used to program information for DRIVER #1
and DRIVER #2. The DIC will identify a person as
UNKNOWN DRIVER if they are neither DRIVER #1 nor
DRIVER #2.
DIC Personalization Programming
The DIC can be used to program the following
personalization features available with your vehicle:

Automatic Door Locks

Window Lockout

Security Feedback

Delayed Locking

Perimeter Lighting

Memory Seats

Parallel Park Assist Mirror (Tilt Mirror)

Driver ID
The DIC is used to program the personal choices of two
drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER #1 and
DRIVER #2. You will let the DIC know which driver you
are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter or by
pressing the appropriate memory seat control button
located on the driver's door or by choosing the driver with
the DIC. Each remote keyless entry transmitter was
preprogrammed to belong to DRIVER #1 or DRIVER #2.
Each transmitter may be programmed differently for
each driver.

2-97
When you press the button with the unlock symbol on
your transmitter, the DIC will automatically change
driver numbers and the vehicle will recall the
personalization settings that were last made to
correspond to your transmitter, including your radio and
comfort control settings. See ªComfort Controls
Personalizationº in the Index.
If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and will
recall the information from the last transmitter use or the
last driver change 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 on
your transmitter or select the personalization programming
mode and choose the correct driver number.Use the following steps for personalization
programming instructions.
1. Turn the ignition on and keep the transaxle
in PARK (P).
2. Press the MODE button to reach personalization
programming display.
3. Press the SELECT button to enter personalization
programming mode.
4. The first choice to be made will be DRIVER ID 1
or 2. Press the RESET button to toggle between your
selections within a display and SELECT to choose
the current selection and move on to the next
personalization feature.
You are now in the selection mode and the DIC is ready
to program your personal choices in memory.
Each feature that can be personalized will appear in the
display. Once you have made a selection for a feature, the
DIC will move on to the next personalization feature.
