positioning of the driver seat, power
mirrors, and steering column to two
programmable positions.
The memory seat control is located
on the driver door.

memory features to the desired
positions using the associated
controls. Press and hold button 1
for at least two seconds. A chime will sound confirming that a memory
position has been set.

A memory seat position may be programmed at any time.

Remote entry systemin theLocks and Securitychapter.

easy entry feature is enabled).

Activating/deactivating collision warning system
To turn the warning system and/or chime on or off and set the warning
sensitivity <– –>, refer toMessage centerin theInstrument Cluster
chapter.
Note:If the system cannot be turned off in a MyKeyequipped vehicle,
refer toMyKeyin theLocks and Securitychapter for more
information.
Note:If collision warnings are perceived as being too frequent or
disturbing then the warning sensitivity can be reduced, though the
manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system
warnings. Refer to theMessage centerin theInstrument Cluster
chapter for instructions on reducing the sensitivity.
BLIND SPOT MIRRORS (IF EQUIPPED)
Blind spot mirrors have an integrated convex spotter mirror built into
the upper outboard corner of the outside mirrors. They are designed to
assist the driver by increasing visibility along the side of the vehicle. For
more information on your side view mirrors, refer toExterior mirrorsin
