1-4 Power Lumbar Control (Option)
If your vehicle has this
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.
If you have the independent front cushion moved down
as far as it will go, you may feel the lumbar support
higher in your back. Readjust the position of the cushion
until you are comfortable. You may also want to adjust
the seatback for maximum comfort.
Memory Seat and Mirrors (Option)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
on the driver's door panel,
and are used to program
and recall memory settings
for the driver's seating,
outside mirror positions
and comfort controls. See
ªComfort Controlsº in the
Index for more information.
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.
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).

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 currently identified driver. You will hear one beep.
If an exit position has not been stored for the currently
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 Programmingº
in the Index.Heated Front Seats (Option)
If your vehicle has this
option, the heated front
seat controls are located
on the instrument panel
under the comfort controls.
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's battery remains in a heavy discharge
condition for a long period of time, the fan, rear
defogger, heated seats and heated mirrors will be
disabled and the DIC will display BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE. This can happen either under long periods of
idling or low speed driving with high electrical loading,
or in the event of a charging system fault.
Monitor the battery voltage when in the BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE mode.
If the voltmeter remains in the shaded area
(below 11 volts) when driving then have the
charging system serviced immediately.
If the voltage increases above 12 volts then the
battery needs to be recharged. Try driving on
the highway with as few electrical accessories on
as possible.
Mirrors
Inside Day/Night Manual Rearview Mirror
When you are sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror so you can see clearly behind your
vehicle. Grip the mirror in the center to move it up or
down and side to side. The day/night adjustment allows
you to adjust the mirror to avoid glare from any
headlamps behind you. Push the tab away from you for
daytime use; pull it toward you for night use.
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an automatic electrochromic
day/night rearview mirror. Your vehicle's mirror may
also contain OnStar
controls.
(On/Off): This is the on/off button for mirrors
equipped with OnStar controls.
When this feature is turned on, the mirror automatically
changes to reduce glare from headlamps behind you. A
photocell on the mirror senses when it is becoming dark
outside. Another photocell built into the mirror face
senses when headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced.
Mirror Operation
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press AUTO
(or the on/off button for mirrors equipped with OnStar
controls). To turn off automatic dimming, press OFF
(or the on/off button for mirrors equipped with OnStar
controls). The indicator light will be illuminated when
this feature is active.

Power Remote Control Review Mirrors
The controls for the power remote review mirrors are
located on the driver's door armrest.
Press the left or right side of the L/R selector switch
located beneath the control pad to choose the left or
right mirror.To adjust the mirror, press one of the four arrows located
on the control pad to move the mirror in the direction
you want it to go. When finished adjusting the mirrors,
leave the L/R selector switch in the center position, to
prevent unwanted mirror movement in case the control
pad is accidentally bumped while driving. Adjust each
outside mirror so that you can see a little of your
vehicle, and the area behind your vehicle.
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.
2-103 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.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.
3-11 Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature enables up to two drivers to store and recall
comfort control settings for the temperature, fan speed
and the direction of the airflow.
The memory buttons (1 or 2) for this feature are located
on the driver's door panel and correspond to the
numbers (1 or 2) found on the back of each remote
keyless entry transmitter.
To recall comfort settings, press the unlock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter before entering
your vehicle.
If you enter your vehicle without using the remote
keyless entry, the settings for the last identified driver
will be recalled when you put the ignition in
ACCESSORY or RUN.
To program a personal choice climate control setting,
do the following:
1. Choose a temperature setting for the driver and if
desired, for the passenger. See ªElectronic Climate
Control System (Option)º earlier in this section.
2. Adjust the fan speed and the direction of the airflow.3. Locate the memory buttons on the driver's
door panel.

been saved and can now be recalled.
Follow these steps each time you want to change the
stored settings.
For more information on the memory feature, see
ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
