The heated seats will turn off ten seconds after
the ignition is turned off. If you want to use
the heated seat feature after you restart your
vehicle, you will need to press the heated seat
or seatback button again.
If your vehicle has remote vehicle start and is
started using the remote keyless entry transmitter,
the front heated seats will be turned on to the
high setting if it is cold outside. See “Remote
Vehicle Start” underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation on page 100. When the key is
inserted into the ignition and the ignition is turned
on, the heated seat feature will turn off. To turn
the heated seat feature back on, press the
desired button.Memory Seat and Mirrors
Your vehicle may have the memory package.
The controls for this feature are located on the
driver’s door panel, and are used to program and
recall memory settings for the driver’s seat and
outside mirrors.
To save your positions in memory, do the
following:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, including the seatback
recliner and lumbar and both outside mirrors
to a comfortable position.
SeeOutside Power Mirrors on page 142for
more information.
Not all mirrors will have the ability to save and
recall the mirror positions.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps let
you know that the position has been stored.
13

A second seating and mirror position can be
programmed by repeating the above steps and
pressing button 2.
To recall the memory positions, the vehicle must
be in PARK (P). Press and release either button 1
or button 2 corresponding to the desired driving
position. The seat and outside mirrors will move to
the position previously stored. You will hear a
single beep.
If you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to enter your vehicle and the remote
recall memory feature is on, automatic seat
and mirror movement will occur. See “MEMORY
SEAT RECALL” underDIC Vehicle Customization
(With DIC Buttons) on page 255for more
information.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls,
memory buttons, or power mirror buttons.
If something has blocked the driver’s seat while
recalling a memory position, the driver’s seat recall
may stop working. If this happens, press the
appropriate control for the area that is not recalling
for two seconds, after the obstruction is removed.Then try recalling the memory position again by
pressing the appropriate memory button. If
the memory position is still not being recalled, see
your dealer/retailer for service.
Easy Exit Seat
The control for this feature is located on the
driver’s door panel between buttons 1 and 2.
With the vehicle in PARK (P), the exit position can
be recalled by pressing the exit button. You will
hear a single beep. The driver’s seat will
move back.
If the easy exit seat feature is on in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), automatic seat
movement will occur when the key is removed
from the ignition. See “EASY EXIT SEAT” under
DIC Vehicle Customization (With DIC Buttons)
on page 255for more information.
Further programming for the memory seat feature
can be done using the DIC. You can select or
cancel the following:
The automatic easy exit seat feature.
The remote memory seat recall feature.
For programming information, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 255.

Third Row Seats
{CAUTION:
Using the third row seating position while
the second row is folded, or pushed
forward in the entry position, could cause
injury in a sudden stop or crash. Be sure
to return the seat to the passenger
seating position. Push and pull on the
seat to make sure it is locked into place.
The third row seats can be folded forward or
removed.
Notice:Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause damage to the
seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle
the safety belts and return them to their normal
stowed position before folding a rear seat.To fold the seatback:
1. Make sure there is nothing on or under
the seat.
2. Disconnect the rear safety belt mini-latch,
using a key in the slot on the mini-buckle,
let the belt retract into the headliner. Stow
the mini-latch in the holder located in
the headliner.

Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely
to be seriously injured if they do not wear
safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder
belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low
as possible, below the rounding, throughout
the pregnancy.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.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s
safety belt properly, seeDriver Position on
page 30.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the
same way as the driver’s safety belt — except
for one thing. If you ever pull the shoulder portion
of the belt out all the way, you will engage the
child restraint locking feature. If this happens, let
the belt go back all the way and start again.
