In addition, you can also store the seat exit position for
driver 1 and driver 2. See ªMemory Seat Exitº later in this
section for more information.
The memory function does not store the lumbar or the
side wing positions.
To store your memory seat and mirror positions,
do the following:
1. Adjust the driver's seat and both outside mirrors to
your 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 positions
are 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 recall feature only works
when the transmission is in PARK (P).
To recall memory seat and mirror positions, make sure
your vehicle is in PARK (P), then press the 1 or 2 button
of the memory control to recall the seat setting. You will
hear a chime ring one time to let you know the setting
has been selected.
The memory seat and mirror positions can also be
programmed to work with the keyless entry system.
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index for
more information.Memory Seat Exit
For this function to work, it must be enabled in the
secondary information center. See ªSecondary
Information Centerº in the Index for more information.
By moving the seats to a stored exit position, the
memory seat exit feature can make it easier to leave the
vehicle. To store the seat exit position for driver 1 or
driver 2, do the following:
1. Select the desired driver number by pressing
the 1 or 2 button.
2. Move the seat to the desired position.
3. Press and hold the Exit button of the memory
control for three seconds. When you hear a chime
ring two times, the exit position is stored for the
identified driver (driver 1 or 2).
To use the exit feature, press the Exit button on the
memory seat controls. If you have the exit feature
enabled in the secondary information center, then
removing the key from the ignition will cause the seat to
move to the preset exit position without having to press
the Exit button. See ªSecondary Information Centerº in
the Index for more information.

Keyless Entry Transmitter Seat and Mirror
Memory Recall
For this function to work, it must be enabled in the
secondary information system. See ªSecondary
Information Centerº in the Index for more information.
You can program both of your keyless entry transmitters
to work the settings you have chosen for driver 1 or
driver 2. Once a transmitter is programmed, pressing
the UNLOCK button will recall the memory functions
chosen for that transmitter. To match a transmitter
do the following:
1. Press and hold the desired number button (1 or 2)
on the memory controls until the seat and mirror
positions are set. You will hear a chime ring twice.
Continue holding the number button.
2. While still holding the memory number button,
press UNLOCK on the keyless entry transmitter
(within five seconds) that you want to match with the
specific memory number button (1 or 2) you pressed
in Step 1.
That transmitter will now be matched with the memory
number button 1 or 2 and the memory settings that are
set for that number.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 heat setting. Press the button again for the LO
heat setting. To turn off the heated seats, press the
button a third time. An indicator light on the button will
illuminate for each heat setting anytime 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.

1-8 Rear Seats
Reclining Rear (Second Row) Seats
The seatbacks can be reclined in the second row seats.
To recline the seatback,
do the following:
1. Pull the lever located
at the base of the seat
cushion forward.
2. Release the lever to lock the seatback where you
want it. Pull the lever again without pushing on
the seatback and the seatback will go to an
upright position.Folding Rear (Second Row) Seats
The rear seat is a 60/40 split seat which may be folded
down to give you more cargo space. The rear seatbacks
are equipped with rearward folding head restraints.
When the seatback is being folded down, the head
restraint will automatically fold rearward to allow a flat
load floor for cargo or entry to the third row seating.
To fold the rear seat, do the following:
1. Insert the two safety belt buckles into the pocket
in the seatback before folding the rear seat on the
driver's side.
That way, the buckles will be out of the way when
the seat is folded and will be available for passengers
to use when the seat is returned to the passenger
position. Also, make sure that nothing is under or
in front of the seat
2. Make sure the seatback is in an upright position
(unreclined) before folding it.

located at the rear of
the seat cushion and
pull the seat cushion up.
Then fold it forward.
4. Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until
it is flat.
If the seatback cannot fold flat because it interferes with
the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or
bringing the front seatback more upright.Returning the Seats to an Upright Position
To return the seat to the upright position,
do the following:
1. Lift the seatback up and push it rearward
all the way.
2. Lower the seat cushion until it latches
into position.
3. Pull forward on the seatback and up on the seat
cushion to make sure the seat is securely in place.
4. Return the headrest to the upright position by
pulling the top of the headrest upwards until
you hear a click.
5. Check to see that the safety belt buckles on
the driver's side seatback are accessible to the
outboard and center occupants and are not under
the seat cushions.

or the assist strap
located on the outboard
side of the seat until the
