To stop recall movement of the memory feature
at any time, press one of the power seat controls,
memory buttons, power mirror buttons, or
adjustable pedal switch.
If something has blocked the driver’s seat and/or
the adjustable pedals while recalling a memory
position, the driver’s seat and/or the adjustable
pedals recall may stop working. If this happens,
remove the obstruction and press the appropriate
function control for two seconds. Then try
recalling the memory position again by pressing
the appropriate memory button. If the memory
position is still not recalling, see your dealer

from the ignition. See “EASY EXIT SEAT” under
DIC Vehicle Customization on page 257for
more information.
Further programming for the memory seat feature
can be done using the DIC. You can select the
automatic easy exit seat feature or the remote
memory seat recall feature.
For programming information, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 257.

Q:If I am a good driver, and I never drive
far from home, why should I wear
safety belts?
A:You may be an excellent driver, but if you are
in an accident — even one that is not your
fault — you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver does not protect you
from things beyond your control, such as bad
drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km)
of home. And the greatest number of
serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of
less than 40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know
about safety belts and children. And there
are different rules for smaller children and babies.
If a child will be riding in your vehicle, see
Older Children on page 39orInfants and Young
Children on page 42. Follow those rules for
everyone’s protection.
First, you will want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We will start with the driver position.
Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to
wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To
see how, see “Seats” in the Index.
23

To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the
buckle. The belt should go back out of the way.
Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out
of the way. If you slam the door on it, you can
damage both the belt and your vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment
Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
adjuster to the height that is right for you.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the
belt is centered on your shoulder. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. Improper shoulder belt height
adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.
To move it down,
squeeze the buttons (A)
on the sides of the
height adjuster
and move the height
adjuster to the desired
position.
You can move the adjuster up just by pushing up
on the shoulder belt guide.
After you move the adjuster to where you want it,
try to move it down without squeezing the
buttons to make sure it has locked into position.

The roof-mounted rollover airbag for the right front
passenger and the person directly behind that
passenger is located in the ceiling above the side
windows.
{CAUTION:
If something is between an occupant and
an airbag, the bag might not inate
properly or it might force the object into
that person causing severe injury or even
death. The path of an inating airbag
must be kept clear. Do not put anything
between an occupant and an airbag, and
do not attach or put anything on the
steering wheel hub or on or near any
other airbag covering. And, if your vehicle
has roof-mounted side impact airbags,
never secure anything to the roof of your
vehicle by routing the rope or tie down
through any door or window opening. If
you do, the path of an inating side
impact airbag will be blocked. The path of
an inating airbag must be kept clear.
72

{CAUTION:
When an airbag inates, there is dust in
the air. This dust could cause breathing
problems for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trouble. To
avoid this, everyone in the vehicle should
get out as soon as it is safe to do so. If
you have breathing problems but cannot
get out of the vehicle after an airbag
inates, then get fresh air by opening a
window or a door. If you experience
breathing problems following an airbag
deployment, you should seek medical
attention.
In many crashes severe enough to inate the
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage
may also occur from the right front passenger
airbag.Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on
and ash the hazard warning ashers when the
airbags inate. You can lock the doors again, turn
the interior lamps off and turn off the hazard
warning ashers by using the controls for those
features.
Airbags are designed to inate only once. After
an airbag inates, you will need some new
parts for your airbag system. If you do not get
them, the airbag system will not be there to help
protect you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for your vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. SeeVehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders on page 555.
Let only qualied technicians work on your
airbag systems. Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.
