Vehicle Personalization 
Memory Seat 
If your vehicle has this 
feature, then the controls  for  the  memory  function 
are located  on  the 
driver’s door. 
I 
~ 
These  buttons are  used to program  and  recall memory 
settings for the driver’s seat, both the driver’s and 
passenger’s outside mirror,  and the  radio station 
presets.  The settings  for these features  can be 
personalized  for both  driver 
1 and driver 2. Driver 1  or 
driver 
2 corresponds  to  the memory  buttons labeled 
land 
2 on  the  driver’s  door.  To  store 
your memory  seat,  mirrors and  radio  presets, 
do the  following: 
1. Adjust the driver’s  seat  (including the  seatback 
recliner,  lumbar,  and  side  wing  area),  both of the 
outside mirrors,  and the radio station presets to  your 
preference. 
2. Press  and hold the 1 or 2 (for  driver  lor 2) button 
of  the  memory  control for three  seconds. 
A double 
chime  will sound  to let you  know  that  the  position 
has  been  stored. 
To  repeat  the procedure  for  a  second  driver,  follow  the 
preceding  steps, but press  the  other  numbered 
memory  control button. 
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, mirror positions  and the radio station  presets  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.

Climate Controls 
Dual Automatic  Climate  Control 
System 
Your  vehicle  may  have  the optional dual automatic 
climate control system. With this  system  you  can control 
the  heating, cooling  and ventilation  for your vehicle. 
If your vehicle is  equipped  with  the  dual automatic 
climate control  system,  memory  seats, and  memory 
mirrors,  you  can  store and recall the climate control 
settings for temperature, air delivery  mode,  and 
fan  speed  for  two  different drivers.  The personal choice 
settings recalled  are determined  by  the transmitter 
used  to enter  the vehicle. After the  button with  the 
unlock  symbol  on a remote  keyless  entry  transmitter 
is  pressed, the climate control will adjust  to the  last 
settings  of the  identified driver.  The  settings  can also be 
changed  by pressing  one of the  memory  buttons 
(1 or 2) located  on the driver’s  door.  When  adjustments 
are  made,  the  new  settings are automatically  saved 
for that  driver. 
A 8fj? v (Fan): Press this button to  increase or 
decrease  the fan speed.

control system. Outside air will still  enter  the  vehicle,  and 
will  be directed to the  floor. This direction  can  be  changed 
by  pressing the  mode  button.  The  temperature  can  also 
be  adjusted using either temperature  knob.  Press  the  up 
or  down  arrows on the  fan  switch,  the defrost  button,  the 
AUTO  button,  or the  air conditioning  button to turn  the 
system  on  when  it  is 
off. 
,% 4d (Mode): Press this button to manually  select  the air 
delivery  mode to the  floor, panel,  or windshield  outlets. 
This  system  will stay  in the selected  mode  until  the  mode 
button is pressed again,  or  the  AUTO  button, defrost 
button,  or  the  off  button is pressed.  Air  delivery  mode  can 
be  adjusted while  the system  is off.  A  five  second  status 
display will indicate the  current  mode.
