Heated Seats
If your vehicle has
heated seats, the
buttons are located on
the center console.
Each seat has two settings: high and low.
To turn on the heated seats, press the top button
once. The seat will heat to the high setting.
Press the top button again to switch to the low
setting. The lights on the top button will indicate
which setting it is in. Press the bottom button
to turn the system off.
The heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is on. When the vehicle is off, the heated
seats will turn off.
Memory Seat, Mirrors and
Steering Wheel
If your vehicle has this feature, memory can
program and recall the settings for the driver’s
seating position. The controls for this feature are
located on the driver’s door.
The numbers on the back of the keyless access
transmitters, 1 and 2, correspond to the numbers
on the memory buttons.
10

Easy Exit Seat
Two personalized exit positions can also be
programmed to allow for an easy exit or entry into
the vehicle. The controls for this memory
function are located on the driver’s door.
B(Easy Exit Seat):This button is used to
program and recall the desired driver’s seat exit
position.
To program an exit position, use the
following steps:
1. Recall the desired driving position by pressing
button 1 or 2.
The seat will move to the programmed
memory position.
2. Position the seat and the telescopic steering
column position to a comfortable exit position.
3. Press and hold the exit button until two beeps
sound.
Your exit position is now programmed.A second exit position can be programmed by
repeating the above steps and pressing the other
memory button.
To recall an exit position, do one of the following:
If you have an automatic transmission
vehicle, press and release the exit button while
the vehicle is in PARK (P).
One beep will sound and the exit position for
the currently identied driver will be recalled.
If you have a manual transmission vehicle,
press and release the exit button. The
parking brake needs to be set to recall the
memory position.
One beep will sound and the exit position for
the currently identied driver will be recalled.
If your vehicle has the Auto Exit Recall feature
and it is turned on in the DIC, automatic seat and
telescopic steering column movement to the
exit position will occur when you use the keyless
access transmitter to unlock your vehicle or
when you turn the engine off and open the driver’s
door. See “Auto Exit Recall” underDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 234for more information.

The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt
in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone,
the key to making safety belts effective is wearing
them properly.
Passenger Position
The passenger’s safety belt works the same way
as the driver’s safety belt. To learn how to
wear the passenger’s safety belt properly, see
Driver Position on page 22.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the
driver and right front passenger. Although you
cannot see them, they are part of the safety belt
assembly. They help tighten the safety belts during
the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal
and near frontal crash if the threshold conditions
for pretensioner activation are met. And, if
your vehicle has side impact airbags, safety belt
pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts in a
side crash.Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in
a crash, you will need to get new ones, and
probably other new parts for your safety belt
system. SeeReplacing Restraint System Parts
After a Crash on page 67.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,
you should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough, your
dealer/retailer will order you an extender. When
you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will
wear, so the extender will be long enough for
you. To help avoid personal injury, do not
let someone else use it, and use it only for the
seat it is made to t. The extender has been
designed for adults. Never use it for securing child
seats. To wear it, attach it to the regular safety
belt. For more information, see the instruction
sheet that comes with the extender.

If you ever notice a decrease in the keyless
access transmitter range, try doing one of the
following:
Check the distance. You may be too far from
your vehicle. You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to
the left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
Check to determine if battery replacement
is necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Keyless Access System Operation on page 73.
Check to make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer is
not causing interference.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer/
retailer or a qualied technician for service.
