How to Use this Manual

Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If

you do this, it will help you learn about the features

and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll

find that pictures and words work together to explain

things quickly.

Index

A good place to look for what you need is the Index in

back of the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of what’s in

the manual, and the page number where you’ll find it.

Safety Warnings and Symbols

You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.

We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you

about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore

the warning.

CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt

you or other people.

In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then

we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the

hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don’t, you or

others could be hurt.

You will also find a circle

with a slash through it in

this book. This safety

symbol means “Don’t,”

“Don’t do this” or “Don’t

let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Also, in this book you will find these notices:

NOTICE:

These mean there is something that could

damage your vehicle.

In the notice area, we tell you about something that can

damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would

not be covered by your warranty, and it could be

costly. But the notice will tell you what to do to help

avoid the damage.

When you read other manuals, you might see

CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different

colors or in different words.

You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use

the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

4-Way Power Lumbar Control (Option)

If you have this option, the

driver’s and passenger’s

seatback lumbar support

can be adjusted four ways

by moving the single

switch located on the

side of the seat.

To increase or decrease support, hold the switch forward

or rearward. To move the lumbar up or down, hold the

switch upward or downward.

Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)

If your vehicle has this

feature, the controls on the

driver’s door panel are used

to program and recall

previous settings.

You can use this memory function to save your seat

cushion positions (minus the head restraint), optional

lumbar, mirror adjustment, window lockout, HVAC and

radio settings. Save your seat positions in memory by

using the following procedure:

1. You must first program the SEAT RECALL feature

to be active when the SEAT RECALL choice

appears on the DIC. See “Memory Seat Recall” in

the Index for programming instructions.

2. Adjust the driver’s seat and lumbar position (if

equipped) to a safe and comfortable driving position.

Adjust both outside mirrors to suit you. See “Outside

Mirrors” in the Index.

3. Press one of the two MEMORY buttons

corresponding with your driver number, for longer

than three seconds. You will hear two beeps to

confirm that the mirror and seat positions have been

entered into memory.

4. Press UNLOCK on the transmitter within

five seconds.

When your vehicle is in PARK (P), push and release the

memory button you just stored. The seat and mirrors

will move to the set position. You will hear one beep.

To set the seat and mirror positions for a second

driver, follow the previous steps, but use the other

MEMORY button.

If you press the wrong MEMORY button, or if there is a

third driver, use the seat adjuster.

The EXIT button allows for easy exit from the vehicle.

Press and release the EXIT button while in PARK (P)

and the seat will move all the way back. You will hear a

beep when the EXIT button is pressed.

You can also set unique exit positions by moving the

seat to the desired position, and then pressing and

holding the EXIT button for longer than three seconds.

You will hear two beeps to confirm the position has

been set. The exit position will be set for the previously

identified driver.
