DRIVER MEMORY
SETTINGS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature allows the driver to store up to three
different memory profiles for easy recall through
a memory switch. Each memory profile saves
desired position settings for the following
features:
Driver seat
Side mirrors
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while
driving. Adjusting the steering column while
driving or driving with the steering column
unlocked, could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers) which
could interfere with the hand detection
sensor on the steering wheel of the Active
Blind Spot Assist (ABSA), Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), or
Highway Assist System (HAS) (if equipped).
WARNING!
Do not install any aftermarket accessory to the
steering column or wheel such as a steering
wheel anti-theft locking device. Such device
may damage the steering wheel or adversely
affect steering system performance. This may
void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or lead
to a collision resulting in serious injury or
death.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care when
using the steering wheel heater. It may
cause burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering wheel
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or steering wheel covers of any type
and material. This may cause the steering
wheel heater to overheat.

latched. Make sure that the armrest is properly
latched by gently trying to move it. If it is not
latched, repeat the operation.
Repositioning The Seatbacks
Move the seat belts to the side, making sure that
they are correctly extended and not twisted. Also
make sure that they are not caught on anything
behind the seatbacks of the seats. Then, lift the
seatbacks by pushing them rearward until you
hear the lock click into place on both attachment
mechanisms.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving could
result in loss of control which could cause a
collision and serious injury or death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the seat belts and while the vehicle is
parked. Serious injury or death could result
from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision you could slide
under the seat belt, which could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat or
impede its ability to move as it may cause
damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may
become limited if movement is stopped by an
obstruction in the seat's path.

2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn't impede the movement of the seatback while tilting it. 3. Pull the left-hand seatback release lever
(inside the luggage compartment or the
release at the base of the rear seat acces -
sible from the rear doors) to fold down the left
side, or the right-hand seatback release lever

rear seat. Each lever folds down the section of the
seatback on the same side.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats
and/or passengers. In the event of a collision,
an improperly latched seatback could result in
serious injury or death.
