Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals
If your vehicle has this
feature, 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 seating position,
both outside mirror positions, and the adjustable
pedals, if equipped. The settings for these features
can be saved for up to two drivers.
To store the memory settings, do the following:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, including the seatback
recliner and lumbar, both of the outside
mirrors, and the adjustable pedals, if
equipped, to the desired position.
SeeAdjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
on page 116for more information.2. Press and hold the 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.
To recall the memory settings, do one of the
following:
Press and release button 1 or 2 while the
vehicle is in PARK (P). A single chime
will sound and the memory position will be
recalled.
If programmed to do so through the Driver
Information Center (DIC), pressing the
unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter will recall the preset driver’s
memory seat, mirrors, and adjustable pedals
position. The numbers on the back of the
transmitters, 1 or 2, correspond to the numbers
on the memory controls.
If programmed to do so through the DIC,
placing the key in the ignition will recall
the driver’s memory seat, mirrors, and
adjustable pedals positions.
12
See “Seat Recall” underDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 229for more information.
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 control for the easy exit seat function is
located on the driver’s door below the memory
buttons 1 and 2. The easy exit seat button is used
to program and recall the desired driver’s seat
position when exiting or entering the vehicle. The
mirrors, power lumbar, recline, and adjustable
pedals, if equipped, positions will not be stored or
recalled when using the easy exit seat function.
The seat position can be saved for up to
two drivers.
To store the easy exit seat position, do the
following:
1. Press and release the 1 or 2 button of the
memory control for less than three seconds.
The seat will move to the stored memory
position.
2. Adjust the seat to the desired exit position.3. Press and hold the easy exit seat button for
more than three seconds. A double chime will
sound to let you know that the position has
been stored for the selected button 1 or 2.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver,
follow the preceding steps, but press the other
numbered memory control button.
To recall the easy exit seat position, do one of the
following:
Press the easy exit seat button on the
memory control while the vehicle is in
PARK (P). The seat will move to the stored
exit position.
Or, if the easy exit seat feature is activated in
the Driver Information Center (DIC), removing
the key from the ignition will move the seat
to the exit position. See “Easy Exit Seat” under
DIC Vehicle Customization on page 229for
more information on activating this feature in
the DIC.
If an easy exit seat position has not been stored,
the default position is all the way rearward.

Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change the
position of the throttle and brake pedals. This
feature is designed for shorter drivers, since the
pedals cannot move farther away from the standard
position, but can move closer for better pedal reach.
If your vehicle has this feature, it can be
programmed to work with the memory function.
SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 12.
The vehicle must be in PARK (P) for this feature
to operate.
The switch used to
adjust the pedals is
located on the steering
column.
Press the switch forward or backward to move the
pedals closer or farther away from you.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.
To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical
cord. The cord is located on the driver’s
side of the engine compartment next to the
battery box facing the engine.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-Volt AC
outlet.
