The memory function controls are located on the
driver's door trim panel.
For this function to work, it must be enabled/configured
in the Secondary Information Center (SIC).
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index
for more information.These buttons are used to program and recall the
memory settings for the driver's seat and both
the driver's and the passenger's outside mirrors.
The seat and mirror positions can be personalized
for both driver 1 and driver 2. Driver 1 or driver 2
corresponds to the memory buttons labeled 1 and 2
on the control.
The memory function does not store the lumbar or
back support positions.
To set your memory seat and mirrors do the following:
1. Adjust the driver's seat and both outside mirrors to
the desired position.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 (driver 1 or 2) button of the
memory control for three seconds. When you hear a
chime ring two times, the memory position is stored.
To do the same thing for a second driver, follow the
preceding steps, but press the other number of the
memory control. The memory feature only works when
the transmission is in PARK (P).

Memory Seat and Outside Rearview Mirror Recall
You can program your keyless entry transmitter to recall
seat and mirror settings for up to two drivers. Once a
transmitter is programmed, press the UNLOCK button
to recall the seat and mirror settings.

That transmitter will now correspond with the memory
button 1 or 2 and the memory settings that are set for
that number.
Your vehicle comes with two keyless entry transmitters.
The other transmitter may be programmed by following
these steps using the other memory button.Heated Front Seats
The button for the
driver's side heated seat
is located on the driver's
side door panel.
The button for the passenger's side heated seat is located
on the passenger's side door panel. The ignition must be
in RUN for this feature to operate.
To activate the heated seats, press the button once for
the HI (high) heat setting. Press the button again for the
LO (low) heat setting. To turn off the heated seats, press
the button a third time. An indicator light near the button
will illuminate for each heat setting any time the heated
seats are operating.
The heated front seats will be canceled after the ignition
is turned to OFF. If you still want to use the heated front
seat feature after you restart your vehicle, you will need
to press the heated seat button again.

1-6 Reclining Front Seatbacks
Your vehicle's front seatbacks have a recline feature.
Vertical Control: You can use the vertical control to
adjust the angle of the seatback. Move the reclining
front seatback forward or rearward by moving the
control toward the front or toward the rear of the vehicle.
But don't have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.
CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can't do their job when
you're reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can't do its job. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the
belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety
belt properly.

1-7 Head Restraints
Adjust your head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top of your head. This position reduces
the chance of a neck injury in a crash.Pull straight up on the head restraint to raise it and push
it down to lower it.
The front head restraints can also be tilted forward in
addition to being slid up or down. To tilt either of the
front head restraints do the following:
Pull the head restraint toward you until you hear a click.
Then let go. The head restraint will stay in this position
unless you pull it forward more until another click is
heard. There are four positions available: initial position,
first click, second click, and third click. After the third
position (three clicks) is reached, pulling the head
restraint farther will release it back to the normal
upright position.
The rear head restraints can be slid up or down just as
the front head restraints, but they do not tilt.

1-8 Rear Seats
The rear seat is a 60/40 split rear seat that can be folded
to give you more cargo space and access to the folding
midgate. See ªMidgateº in the Index for more
information on operation of the folding midgate.
To fold either side of the seat do the following:
1. Push the rear head restraints all the way down.
Driver's Side
2. Place the seat belt
buckles through the
loops/pockets on the
seatbacks. This way,
the seat belts will be
easy to access when
the seats are returned
to the upright position.
Passenger's Side
3. Pull the seat loop
located where the
seatback and seat
cushion meet. The seat
will release and allow
you to tilt it toward the
front of the vehicle.

1-9
4. Grasp the seatback and pull it toward the front of the
vehicle. Push it down until it is flat. You may have to
move the front seats forward slightly to do this.
5. Repeat the procedure for the other side.
To return the seats to the normal position, pull the
seatback up and fold the seat cushion down.
CAUTION:
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward
in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury
to the person sitting there. Always press rearward
on the seatback to be sure it is locked.
CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted won't provide the
protection needed in a crash. The person wearing
the belt could be seriously injured. After raising
the rear seatback, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and attached,
and are not twisted.

1-10
Safety Belts: They're for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It also tells you some things you should not do
with safety belts.
And it explains the air bag system.
CAUTION:
Don't let anyone ride where he or she can't wear
a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and
you're not wearing a safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously
injured or killed. In the same crash, you might
not be if you are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your passengers' belts
are fastened properly too.
CAUTION:
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people
to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
safety belt properly.
Your vehicle has a light
that comes on as a reminder
to buckle up. See ªSafety
Belt Reminder Lightº in
the Index.
