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.

to designate the level of heat selected: three for high,
two for medium and one for low. The low setting warms
the seatback and cushion until the seat temperature is
near body temperature. The medium and high settings
heat the seatback and seat cushion to a slightly higher
temperature. You will be able to feel heat in about
two minutes.

Liftgate/Liftglass
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate or liftglass
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the liftgate or liftglass:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on panel or bi
-level with recirculation off.
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.

regulates the fan speed. You can choose from
five different fan speeds or turn the fan off.

used to adjust the air temperature on the driver's side,
independent of the temperature set by the passenger.
Slide the lever upward to raise the temperature. Slide the
lever downward to lower the temperature.

Compact Disc Messages
(Check CD): If this message appears on the
radio display, it could be due to one of the
following conditions:
The road is too rough. The disc should play when
the road is smoother.
The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error message, write it down and provide it
to your dealer when reporting the problem.Rear Seat Entertainment System
(RSE) (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have the optional Digital Versatile
Disc (DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of IR wireless headphones, a remote control
and an instructional video disc.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in
the second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do so.
In severe or extreme temperature conditions your
entertainment system should not be operated until the
temperature is within the operating range. This will keep
your video components from being damaged when the
temperature is below
-4F (-20C) or above 140F (60C).
To resume operation, shut off the entertainment system,
pull down the video screen and then heat or cool the vehicle
until the temperature is within the operating range.
3-47 Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks and the mini-headphone jacks are
located behind the video screen on the overhead console.
The RCA jacks allow you to hook up an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit. The yellow
RCA jack is used for video and the red and white RCA
jacks are used for audio. You may require adapter
connectors or cables to connect your auxiliary device to
the RCA jacks. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions
for proper usage. The mini
-headphone jacks allow you
to hook up customer provided wired headphones.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the RSE,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a camcorder
to the RCA jacks and turn on both the auxiliary device
power and the power on the front of the RSE player.
If a disc is not present in the player, the auxiliary signal
will immediately be displayed on the RSE. If a disc is
present when the RSE power is turned on, the player will
automatically begin playing the disc and the user will need
to press the AUX button on the remote control to display
and/or hear the auxiliary input signals. Each successive
press of the AUX button on the remote control will switch
the system between disc and auxiliary input. The wired
headphone volume control will only operate when the
DVD player power is turned on and it controls both wired
headphone jacks at the same time. See ªRemote Controlº
later in this section for more information.
Audio Speakers
Audio from the DVD player can only be heard either
through the IR headphones or wired headphones
(not included). The sound will not come through the
vehicle's speakers.
Video Screen
The video screen is located in the overhead console.
