Power Lumbar
The driver’s and
passenger’s seatback
lumbar support switches
are located on the
outboard sides of
the seats.
Use the power seat controls rst to get the proper
position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment.
Use the top lumbar switch to adjust support to
the middle seatback and the bottom lumbar switch
to adjust support to the lower seatback. Press
the front of the switch to increase support and the
rear of the switch to decrease support.
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.

Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel
Your vehicle is equipped with the memory
package. The controls for these features are
located on the driver’s seat, and are used
to program and recall memory settings for the
driver’s seating positions.Use the following steps to program each button:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat including the seatback
recliner, lumbar, both outside mirrors and the
steering wheel to a comfortable position.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps are
heard, then release the button.
A second mirror, seating and steering wheel
position can be programmed by repeating
the above steps and pressing button 2 (for
driver 2). Each time a memory button is pressed
and released, a single beep will sound. Each
time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory positions
will be recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle
is not in PARK (P), three beeps will be heard and
the memory position will not be recalled.
When the engine is started, the seat, mirrors, and
steering wheel may automatically adjust to their
programmed positions.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls,
power mirror control buttons, memory buttons, or
power steering column control.

Two personalized exit positions can be set by rst
recalling the driving position (by pressing 1 or 2),
then positioning the steering wheel and seat in the
desired exit positions and then pressing and
holding the exit button until two beeps are heard.
The exit button is located between buttons 1 and 2.
With the vehicle in PARK (P), the exit position
for the previously set driver can be recalled
by pressing the exit button.
When you use the keyless access transmitter to
unlock your vehicle, automatic seat and steering
wheel movement to the exit position may
occur. The numbers on the back of the
transmitter, 1 and 2, corresponds to the numbers
on the memory buttons.
Further programming for automatic seat and mirror
movement can be done using the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
For programming information, seeDIC Vehicle

toward the front of the vehicle.

{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even if you buckle up, your safety belts
cannot do their job when you are reclined
like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job. In a
crash, you could go into it, receiving neck
or other injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job either. In a
crash the belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is
in motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit well back in the seat and wear
your safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.

Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use
safety belts properly. It also tells you some things
you should not do with safety belts.
{CAUTION:
Do not let anyone ride where he or she
can not wear a safety belt properly. If you
are in a crash and you are not wearing a
safety belt, your injuries can be much
worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be
seriously injured or killed. In the same
crash, you might not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your safety belt, and
check that your passenger’s belt is
fastened properly too.
{CAUTION:
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a safety belt properly.
Your vehicle has a light
that comes on as a
reminder to buckle up.
SeeSafety Belt
Reminder Light on
page 187.
In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the
law says to wear safety belts. Here is why:
They work.
13

You never know if you will be in a crash. If you do
have a crash, you do not know if it will be a
bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be
so serious that even buckled up, a person
would not survive. But most crashes are in
between. In many of them, people who buckle up
can survive and sometimes walk away. Without
belts they could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than 40 years of safety belts in
vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes
buckling up does matter... a lot!Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast
as it goes.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a
seat on wheels.
14

Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The
rider does not stop.
15

The person keeps going until stopped by
something. In a real vehicle, it could be the
windshield...or the instrument panel...
