Power Windows
The controls for the power windows are located on the
armrest on each of the side doors. The switches
operate the windows when the ignition is in
RUN,
ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is active. See “Retained Accessory Power” under
Ignition Positions
on page 2- 18.
The driver’s door has a switch for each of the
passenger’s windows as well.
Press the top of the switch to lower the window. Pull up
the top of the switch to raise the window.
Express-Down Windows
The driver’s and front passenger’s window switches
have an express-down feature that allows you to lower
the window without continuously pressing the switch.
Press the top of the window switch down briefly to
activate the feature. Lightly tap the switch to open the
window slightly. The express-down feature can be
interrupted at any time by pulling up on the top of the
switch.
Lockout Switch
Press the lockout switch to prevent passengers from
operating the power windows. A small light in the lockout
switch will come on to show that the switch has been
activated. Press the lockout switch again to return
to normal operation.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing down the visors. You
can also swing them out to help block glare at the
front and side windows.
Illuminated Visor Vanity Mirrors
Pull the sunvisor down and lift the mirror cover to turn
on the lamps.

Outside Power Mirrors
The controls are located
on the driver’s door
armrest.
If the mirrors are accidently manually folded in, unfold
them using the mirror controls.
Do not unfold them
manually.
The mirrors also include a memory function which works
in conjunction with the memory seats. See
Memory
Seat on page 2-47 for more information.
Move the upper selector switch
to the left or right to
choose the mirror you want to adjust; then press
the dots located on the four-way control pad to adjust
the mirror.
To fold or unfold the mirrors, move the selector switch,
located above the mirror control,
to the middle
position. The mirror control will illuminate. Press the
right or left side of the mirror control to fold or unfold the
mirrors. You may notice the mirror glass adjust as the
mirrors fold in; this is normal. The mirror glass will
reposition itself once the mirrors are unfolded.
Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.

Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, then the controls
for the memory function
are located on the driver’s
door.
These buttons are used
to program and recall memory
settings for the driver’s seat, throttle and brake
pedals, 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
1 and 2 on the driver’s door and the
numbers on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitters. To store your memory seat, throttle and brake pedals,
mirrors and radio presets, do the following:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat (including the seatback
recliner, lumbar,
and side wing area), throttle
and brake pedals, both of the outside mirrors, and
the radio station presets to your preference.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 (for driver 1 or 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, throttle and brake pedal, mirror positions and the
radio station presets will be recalled
if programmed
to do so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See DIC Operation and Displays on page
3-43.
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.
2-47

The seat, throttle and brake pedals and mirror positions
can also be recalled when placing the key in the
ignition
if programmed to do so through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Operation and
Displays on page
3-43.
To stop recall movement of the memory seat feature at
any time, press one
of the memory buttons or power
seat controls.
Easy Exit Seat
The controls for this memory function are located on the
driver's door.
ii! (Easy Exit Seat): This button is used to program
and recall the desired driver's seat position when
exiting/entering the vehicle. The seat position, can be
personalized for both driver
1 and driver 2.
To store the seat exit position for driver 1 or 2, do the
following:
1. Select the desired driver number by pressing and
releasing the
1 or 2 button or by pressing the
unlock button on the number
1 or 2 remote
keyless entry transmitter. The seat will move to the
stored memory position.
2. Adjust the seat to the desired exit position.
3. Press and hold the exit button of the memory
control for three seconds.
A double chime will sound
to let you know that the position has been stored
for the identified driver
(1 or 2).
To use the seat exit position, do one of the following:
Press the exit button on the memory control.
Or, if this feature is enabled (active) in the DIC,
then removing the key from the ignition will
cause the seat to move
to the exit position.

Driving with a Trailer
If you have a rear-most window open and you
pull a trailer with your vehicle, carbon
monoxide (CO) could come into your vehicle.
You can’t see or smell CO.
It can cause
unconsciousness or death. See “Engine
Exhaust” in the Index.
To maximize your safety
when towing a trailer:
Have your exhaust system inspected for
leaks, and make necessary repairs before
starting on your trip.
Keep the rear-most windows closed.
If exhaust does come into your vehicle
through a window in the rear or another
opening, drive with your front, main
heating or cooling system on and with the
fan on any speed. This will bring fresh,
outside air into your vehicle.
Do not use
the comfort control setting for maximum
air because
it only recirculates the air
inside your vehicle. See “Comfort
1 Controls” in the Index. Towing a trailer requires a certain amount
of experience.
Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get
to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of
handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer.
And always keep
in mind that the vehicle you are
driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as
responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform
(and attachments), safety chains, electrical connector,
lamps, tires and mirror adjustment.
If the trailer has
electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be
sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your
electrical connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the
load is secure, and that the lamps and any trailer
brakes are still working.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead a5
you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid situations that require
heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when
you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal
longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the
passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
