Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position

against your body. Instead, it
will be in front of you. In a
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt could go up
over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not
at your pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries.
For proper protection when
the vehicle is in motion, have
the seatback upright. Then
sit well back in the seat and
wear the seat belt properly.
Do not have a seatback
reclined if the vehicle is
moving.

Memory Seats
Overview
If equipped, the memory seat
feature allows drivers to save
their unique driving positions
and a shared exit position. See
“Saving Seating Positions”
later in this section. The saved
positions can be recalled
manually by all drivers, see
“Manually Recalling Seating
Positions”later in this section,
and drivers with remote key
1 and 2 can also recall them
automatically. See “Auto Seat
Entry Memory Recall” or“Auto Seat Exit Memory Recall”
later
in this section. To enable
automatic recalls, turn on Seat
Entry Memory and/or Seat
Exit Memory. See “Enabling
Automatic Recalls” later in this
section. The memory recalls
may be canceled at any time
during the recall. See “Cancel
Memory Seating Recalls” later
in this section.
Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the
current driver by their remote
key number 1–8. The current
remote key number may be
identified by Driver
Information Center (DIC)
welcome message, “You are
driver x for memory recalls.”
This message is displayed the
first few times the vehicle is
turned on when a different
remote key is used. For Seat
Entry Memory to work
properly, save positions to the
1 or 2 memory button
matching the driver number of
this welcome message. To aid

5. To make the lap part tight,pull up on the
shoulder belt.
To unlatch the belt, push the
button on the buckle. The belt
should return to its stowed
position.
Always stow the seat belt
slowly. If the seat belt webbing
returns quickly to the stowed
position, the retractor may
lock and cannot be pulled out.
If this happens, pull the seat
belt straight out firmly to
unlock the webbing, and then
release it. If the webbing is still
locked in the retractor, see
your dealer.
Before a door is closed, be
sure the seat belt is out of the
way. If a door is slammed
against a seat belt, damage
can occur to both the seat
belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height
Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder
belt height adjuster for the
driver and front outboard
passenger seating positions. Adjust the height so that the
shoulder portion of the belt is
on the shoulder and not falling
off of it. The belt should be
close to, but not contacting,
the neck. Improper shoulder
belt height adjustment could
reduce the effectiveness of
the seat belt in a crash. See
How to Wear Seat Belts
Properly
061.Press and hold the release
button while raising or
lowering the height adjuster to
the desired position.
