Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel
On vehicles with the memory package the controls
are located on the driver door. This feature is used to
program and recall memory settings for the driver’s seat,
outside mirror, and the steering wheel position if the
vehicle has the power tilt wheel and telescopic steering
feature.
1:Saves the seating position for driver 1.
2:Saves the seating position for driver 2.
S:Recalls the easy exit position.
To save your positions in memory:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, seatback recliner and
lumbar, both outside mirrors, and the steering
wheel to a comfortable position.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps sound
through the driver’s side front speaker to let you
know that the position has been stored.
3. Repeat the procedure for a second driver using
button 2.To recall your memory positions, the vehicle must
be in PARK (P). Press and release either button 1 or
button 2. A single beep will sound. The seat, outside
mirrors, and steering wheel will move to the position
previously stored for the identied driver.
If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to enter
your vehicle and the remote recall memory feature
is on, automatic seat and mirror movement occur.
On vehicles with the Keyless Access System, automatic
adjustment occurs when the driver door is opened.
See “MEMORY SEAT RECALL” underDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-69for more information.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any
time, press one of the power seat controls, memory
buttons, power tilt wheel control, or power mirror
buttons.
If something has blocked the driver’s seat or the
steering column while recalling a memory position, the
recall may stop. Remove the obstruction, then press the
appropriate control for the area that is not recalling for
two seconds. Try recalling the memory position again by
pressing the appropriate memory button. If the memory
position is still not recalling, see your dealer for service.

Manually fold the mirrors inward to prevent damage
when going through an automatic car wash. To fold, push
the mirror toward the vehicle. Push the mirror outward, to
return to its original position.
Park Tilt Mirrors
If the vehicle has the memory package, the passenger
and/or driver outside mirror tilts to a preselected
position when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This
allows the driver to view the curb when parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and
after a ve-second delay, the mirrors return to their
original position.
The park tilt can be turned on or off through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle Customization
on page 3-69for more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat. It also makes things, like other vehicles,
look farther away than they really are.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When the rear window defogger is turned on, it also
warms both outside rearview mirrors to help clear them
of fog or ice. See “Rear Window Defogger” underDual
Climate Control System on page 3-24for more
information.

the rst transmitter at the same time for about
15 seconds.
On vehicles with memory recall seats, the rst
transmitter learned will match driver 1 and
the second will match driver 2.
A chime sounds indicating that the transmitter is
matched.
4. To match additional transmitters at this time,
repeat Step 3.
Each vehicle can have a maximum of eight
transmitters matched to it.
5. To exit the programming mode, you must cycle
the key to LOCK/OFF.
Blank Display
This display shows no information.
DIC Compass
Your vehicle may have a compass in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory.
Your dealer/retailer will set the correct zone for your
location.
Under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross-country trip or moving to a new state
or province, it will be necessary to compensate for
compass variance by resetting the zone through the
DIC if the zone is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If the
compass is not set to the zone where you live, the
compass may give false readings. The compass must
be set to the variance zone in which the vehicle is
traveling.
