Heated Seats
Your vehicle has heated
front seats. The buttons
used to control this feature
are located on the front
door armrests. The engine
must be running for the
heated seat feature
to work.
To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with
the heated seat and seatback symbol. Press the button to
cycle through the temperature settings of high, medium,
and low and to turn the heated seat off. The indicator
lights above the button will come on to designate the
level of heat selected: three for high, two for medium,
and one for low. The low setting warms the seatback
and seat cushion until the seat temperature is near
body temperature. The medium and high settings heat
the seatback and seat cushion to a slightly higher
temperature. You will be able to feel heat in about
two minutes.To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with
the heated seatback symbol. An indicator light on the
button will come on to designate that only the seatback
is being heated. Additional presses will cycle through
the heat levels for the seatback only.
The feature will shut off automatically when the ignition
is turned off.
Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals
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 2-23for 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 (RKE) transmitter
will recall the preset driver’s memory seat, mirrors,
and adjustable pedals position.
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.
See “Seat Recall” underDIC Vehicle Customization on
page 3-53for 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 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.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off.
An indicator light in the button will come on to let you
know that the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off approximately
10 minutes after the button is pressed. If you need
additional warming time, press the button again.
The heated mirrors will also come on when you press
this button. SeeOutside Heated Mirrors on page 2-36.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass.
These actions may damage the rear defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the
sides of your instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow,
or any other obstruction, such as leaves. The
heater and defroster will work far better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, select
maximum blower speed for a few moments
before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may affect the
performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.
Rear Climate Control System
The lower buttons on the rear seat audio are used to
adjust the rear seat climate controls. The temperature
of the air coming through the rear outlets is determined
by the front passenger’s temperature setting.
