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.

Seats and Seat Controls

them, and also about memory seats, reclining seatbacks

and head restraints.

Power Seats

The power seat controls are located on the side of the

driver’s and passenger’s seats.

Raise or lower the front of the seat cushion by

holding the front part of the horizontal control up

or down.

Raise or lower the rear of the seat cushion by

holding the rear part of the horizontal control up

or down.

Raise or lower the entire seat cushion by holding the

whole horizontal control up or down.

Move the seat forward or back by holding the

horizontal control to the front or back.

Power Lumbar Control (Option)

If you have this option, the driver’s and passenger’s

seatback lumbar support can be adjusted by moving the

decrease support, hold the switch forward or rearward.

1-3

Memory Seat and Mirrors (Option)

The memory function controls the driver’s seat cushion

and outside mirror positions. It does not store the lumbar

or recline positions.

To set your memory seat and mirrors:

1. Adjust the driver’s seat cushion to your desired

position. Adjust both outside mirrors to suit you. See

“Mirrors” in the Index.

2. Press the SET button and then press the 1 or 2 side

of the MEMORY switch within five seconds. You

will hear one beep when you press the SET button

and two beeps when you press the MEMORY button

to confirm that the mirror and seat positions are

entered into memory.

When your vehicle is in PARK (P) with the ignition on

or off, press the same side of the MEMORY switch to

recall the seat and mirror setting.

To do the same thing for a second driver, follow the

preceding steps, but press the other side of the

MEMORY switch.

The EXIT button allows you to get out of the car easily.

When the gear shift selector is in PARK (P) with the

ignition on or off, push EXIT and the seat will go all the

way down and back.

Memory Seat and Mirrors Personal Choice

Feature (Option)

The remote keyless entry transmitters can also be

programmed to move the driver’s seat and outside

mirrors to a set memory position when the transmitter’s

UNLOCK button is pressed.

To program the system:

1. Adjust the driver’s seat cushion to a comfortable

position. Adjust both outside mirrors to suit you. See

“Power Remote Control Mirror” in the Index.

2. Press the SET button on the driver’s door armrest.

You will hear one beep.

3. Within five seconds, press one of the two memory

buttons on the armrest. You will hear two beeps to

confirm that the mirror and the seat positions are

entered into memory.

4. Press the UNLOCK button on the appropriate

transmitter within five seconds. You will hear

two beeps.

The second transmitter can be programmed to record

a different seat and mirror position by following the

same steps.

If you prefer to program the exit seat position, which

moves the seat completely down and back, follow

these steps:

1. Press the SET button on the driver’s door armrest.

You will hear one beep.

2. Press the EXIT button on the armrest. You will hear

one beep, but the seat will not move at this time.

3. Press the UNLOCK button on the appropriate

transmitter within five seconds. You will hear

two beeps.

This personal choice feature will work only when the

vehicle is in PARK (P). A beep will sound inside the

vehicle when the UNLOCK button on the transmitter is

pressed to move the seat and mirrors.

To turn this feature off, press SET and then UNLOCK

within five seconds.
