Entry (RKE) transmitter will recall the preset
driver’s memory seat, mirrors, and adjustable
pedals position.
If programmed to do so through the DIC,

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

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

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.

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.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across
you. Do not let it get twisted.The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the
belt across you very quickly. If this happens,
let the belt go back slightly to unlock it.
Then pull the belt across you more slowly.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it
clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is
secure.
If the belt is not long enough, seeSafety Belt
Extender on page 37.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle
the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

The roof-mounted side impact airbag for the right
front passenger and the person seated directly
behind that passenger is 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, because 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.

What Will You See After an Airbag
Inates?
After a frontal airbag inates, it quickly deates, so
quickly that some people may not even realize an
airbag inated. Roof-mounted rollover airbags may
still be at least partially inated minutes after the
vehicle comes to rest. Some components of the
airbag module — the steering wheel hub for the
driver’s airbag, the instrument panel for the right
front passenger’s airbag, and the area along the
ceiling of the vehicle near the side windows
for vehicles with roof–mounted side impact
airbags — may be hot for a short time. The parts
of the airbag that come into contact with you may
be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be
some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the
deated airbags. Airbag ination does not prevent
the driver from seeing out of the windshield or being
able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
{CAUTION:
When an airbag inates, there may be
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.
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.

double-sided keys that
can be used for the

When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer
provides the owner with a pair of identical keys
and a key code number.The key code number tells your dealer or a
qualied locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep
this number in a safe place. If you lose your
keys, you will be able to have new ones made
easily using this number. Your selling dealer
should also have this number.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your
vehicle, you may have to damage the vehicle
to get in. Be sure you have spare keys.

the Roadside Assistance Center. SeeRoadside

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
With this system you can lock and unlock your
doors from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m)
away using the remote keyless entry transmitter
supplied with your vehicle. The remote keyless
entry transmitter buttons will not operate when the
key is in the ignition.
K(Unlock):Press the
unlock button to
automatically unlock the
driver’s door. The
parking lamps may ash
and the interior lights
will go on. Press
the unlock button again
and all remaining
doors will unlock.
You can program different feedback settings
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
For more information seeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 194
Q(Lock):Press the lock button to lock all the
doors. Press the lock button again within
three seconds and the horn may chirp.
L(Panic Alarm):Press the horn symbol to
make the horn sound. The headlamps and
taillamps will also ash for up to 30 seconds. This

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your
vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through your
dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
dealer has coded the new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each
vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it.
