Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the power seats -- how to
adjust them, and also about the reclining front seatbacks,
memory seats, lumbar adjustments and heated seats.
Power Seats
The power seat controls are
located on the outboard side
of the front seat cushions.

Move the front of the seat control up or down to
adjust the front portion of the cushion.

Move the rear of the seat control up or down to
adjust the rear portion of the cushion.

Lift up or push down on the center of the seat control
to move the entire seat up or down.
To move the seat forward or rearward, slide the seat
control forward or rearward.

To recline the seatback, press the vertical control
rearward. To raise the seatback, press the vertical
control forward.
Four-Way Power Lumbar Control
The driver's and
passenger's seatback lumbar
support can be adjusted
four ways by moving a
single control located on
the outboard side of the
seat cushions.
To increase or decrease support, hold the control
forward or rearward. To move the lumbar up or down,
hold the control up or down.
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.

1-3 Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature the controls are
located on the driver's door,
and are used to program and
recall memory settings for
the driver's seating and
outside mirror positions.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback recliner
and lumbar) and both of the outside mirrors to the
desired position. Then press and hold button 1
(for driver 1) for three seconds. A double chime will
sound to let you know that the position has been stored.
A second mirror and seating position can be
programmed by repeating the procedure with a
second driver and pressing button 2 for three seconds.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime will sound,
and the memory position will be recalled.If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's seat
and mirror positions will be recalled if programmed to
do so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled by
placing the key in the ignition if programmed to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.
Two personalized exit positions can be set by first
recalling the driver's position (by pressing 1 or 2),
then positioning the seat in the desired exit position for
that driver. Then press and hold the button with the exit
symbol for three seconds. A double chime will sound to
let you know that the position has been stored. With the
vehicle in PARK (P), the exit position for that driver
can be recalled by pressing the exit button. The mirrors,
power lumbar and recline positions will not be stored
or recalled for the exit positions. If no exit position is
stored, the default is all the way rearward.
