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.

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.

Vehicle Symbols

Your vehicle may be equipped with components and

labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols,

used on your vehicle, are shown along with the text

describing the operation or information relating to a

specific component, control, message, gage or indicator.

If you need help figuring out a specific name of a

component, gage or indicator reference the following

topics in the Index:

“Engine Compartment Overview”

“Instrument Panel”

“Comfort Controls”

“Audio Systems”

Also see “Warning Lights and Gages” in the Index.

These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may find on your vehicle:

Seats and Seat Controls

This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust

them, and fold them up and down. It also tells you about

reclining front seatbacks and head restraints.

Power Seats

Horizontal Control: Raise or lower the front of the seat

cushion by raising or lowering the forward edge of the

control. Move the seat forward or rearward by moving

the whole control toward the front or rear of the vehicle.

Raise or lower the rear of the seat cushion by raising or

lowering the rear edge of the control.

Moving the whole control up or down raises or lowers

the entire seat cushion.

To learn how to adjust the vertical control for the

seatback angle, see “Reclining Front Seatbacks”

later in this section

Power Lumbar Control

Your vehicle’s power

lumbar controls are

located near the power

seat controls.

You can increase or decrease lumbar support in an area

of the lower seatback with the lumber controls.

You can also reshape the side wing area of the lower

seatback for more lateral support.

To increase support, press and hold the top of the

control. To decrease support, press and hold the

bottom of the control. Let go of the control when

the lower seatback reaches the desired level of support.

Memory Seat and Memory Mirrors

The memory function controls are located on the

driver’s door trim panel.

For this function to work, it must be enabled/configured

in the Secondary Information Center (SIC).

See “Secondary Information Center” in the Index

for more information.

These buttons are used to program and recall the

memory settings for the driver’s seat and both

the driver’s and the passenger’s outside mirrors.

The seat and mirror positions can be personalized

for both driver 1 and driver 2. Driver 1 or driver 2

corresponds to the memory buttons labeled 1 and 2

on the control.

The memory function does not store the lumbar or

back support positions.

To set your memory seat and mirrors do the following:

1. Adjust the driver’s seat and both outside mirrors to

the desired position.

2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 (driver 1 or 2) button of the

memory control for three seconds. When you hear a

chime ring two times, the memory position is stored.

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

preceding steps, but press the other number of the

memory control. The memory feature only works when

the transmission is in PARK (P).

1-4

To recall memory seat and mirror positions, make sure

your vehicle is in PARK (P), then press the 1 or 2 button

of the memory control. You will hear a chime ring one

time to let you know the setting has been selected.

The memory seat and mirror positions can also be

programmed to work with the keyless entry system.

See “SIC” in the Index for more information.

Memory Driver Seat Exit

For this function to work, it must be enabled in the SIC.

See “Secondary Information Center” in the Index for

more information.

When this feature is active, it will automatically

(if programmed in the SIC) or manually (when the EXIT

button is pressed) move the driver’s seat to a stored exit

position, making it it easier to leave the vehicle.

To store the seat exit position for driver 1 or driver 2,

do the following:

1. Select the desired driver number by pressing

the 1 or 2 button.

2. Move the seat to the desired position.

3. Press and hold the EXIT button of the memory

control for three seconds. When you hear a chime

ring two times, the exit position is stored for the

identified driver (driver 1 or 2).

To use the exit feature, do one of the following:

Press the EXIT button on the memory control.

Or, if you have this feature enabled (active) in the

secondary information center, then removing the

key from the ignition will cause the seat to move to

the preset exit position without having to press the

EXIT button.

See “Secondary Information Center” in the Index for

more information.
