Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel
Your vehicle is equipped with the memory
package. The controls for these features are
located on the driver’s seat, and are used
to program and recall memory settings for the
driver’s seating positions.Use the following steps to program each button:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat including the seatback
recliner, lumbar, both outside mirrors and the
steering wheel to a comfortable position.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps are
heard, then release the button.
A second mirror, seating and steering wheel
position can be programmed by repeating
the above steps and pressing button 2 (for
driver 2). Each time a memory button is pressed
and released, a single beep will sound. Each
time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory positions
will be recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle
is not in PARK (P), three beeps will be heard and
the memory position will not be recalled.
When the engine is started, the seat, mirrors, and
steering wheel may automatically adjust to their
programmed positions.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls,
power mirror control buttons, memory buttons, or
power steering column control.
10

Two personalized exit positions can be set by rst
recalling the driving position (by pressing 1 or 2),
then positioning the steering wheel and seat in the
desired exit positions and then pressing and
holding the exit button until two beeps are heard.
The exit button is located between buttons 1 and 2.
With the vehicle in PARK (P), the exit position
for the previously set driver can be recalled
by pressing the exit button.
When you use the keyless access transmitter to
unlock your vehicle, automatic seat and steering
wheel movement to the exit position may
occur. The numbers on the back of the
transmitter, 1 and 2, corresponds to the numbers
on the memory buttons.
Further programming for automatic seat and mirror
movement can be done using the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
For programming information, seeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 220.Power Reclining Seatbacks
Your seats have power
reclining seatbacks.
Use the vertical power seat control located on the
outboard side of the seat to operate them.
To recline the seatback, press the control
toward the rear of the vehicle.
To raise the seatback, press the control
toward the front of the vehicle.

6. To tighten the belt, push down on the child
restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt
to tighten the lap portion of the belt, and
feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor.
If you are using a forward-facing child
restraint, you may nd it helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt. You should not be able
to pull more of the belt from the retractor
once the lock has been set.7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
8. If the airbag is off, the off indicator in the
inside rearview mirror will be lit and stay lit
when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed and the on
indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove
the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
child restraint.
If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to
make sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not
pressing the child restraint into the seat cushion. If
this happens, slightly recline the vehicle’s
seatback and adjust the seat cushion if possible.
If the on indicator is still lit, do not secure a
child restraint in this vehicle and check with your
dealer.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the
vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be
ready to work for an adult or larger child
passenger.

In many crashes severe enough to inate an
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front passenger
airbag.
Airbags are designed to inate only once.
After they inate, you will need some new
parts for the airbag system. If you do not get
them, the airbag system will not be there
to help protect you in another crash. A new
system will include airbag modules and
possibly other parts. The service manual for
your vehicle covers the need to replace
other parts.
Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. SeeVehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders on page 491.
Let only qualied technicians work on your
airbag system. Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing System
Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system. The
passenger airbag status indicator in the rearview
mirror will be visible when you start the vehicle.
The words ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and
off, will be visible during the system check.
When the system check is complete, either the
word ON or the word OFF, or the symbol for on or
the symbol for off, will be visible. SeePassenger
Airbag Status Indicator on page 189.

Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:Is there anything I might add to the front
or sides of the vehicle that could keep the
airbags from working properly?
A:Yes. If you add things that change your
vehicle’s frame, bumper system, height,
front end or side sheet metal, they may keep
the airbag system from working properly.
Also, the airbag system may not work properly
if you relocate any of the airbag sensors. If
you have any questions about this, you should
contact Customer Assistance before you
modify your vehicle. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure in this manual. SeeCustomer
Satisfaction Procedure on page 482.
Q:Because I have a disability, I have to get
my vehicle modied. How can I nd out
whether this will affect my advanced airbag
system?
A:Changing or moving any parts of the front
seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing and
diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument
panel, the inside review mirror, or airbag
wiring can affect the operation of the airbag
system. If you have questions, call Customer
Assistance. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure in this manual. SeeCustomer
Satisfaction Procedure on page 482.

K(Unlock):Press this button once to unlock the
driver’s door. The indicator light on the door
will ash twice. Press the button twice within
10 seconds to unlock both doors. If it is dark
enough outside, your interior lamps will come on.
Your memory settings may also be recalled when
you press the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each keyless access transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from working with your
vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through your
dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not work with your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when
you have a recognized transmitter, do the
following:
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized and new, unrecognized
transmitters on your person.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the
vehicle key into the key cylinder located on
the lower rear fascia on the driver’s side of the
vehicle. SeeTrunk on page 77for more
information on the key cylinder.
4. Open the trunk.

Window Indexing
This feature automatically lowers the window a
small amount when the door is opened. Then,
when the door is closed, the window will raise to
its full up position.
Sun Visors
Notice:Raising or lowering the retractable
hardtop with the visor or the visor vanity mirror
cover up, may cause damage to the visor or
mirror cover. Always return the visor to
the center mount or lower the cover on the
visor vanity mirror before raising or lowering
the retractable hardtop.
Swing down the visor to block out glare. It can
also be detached from the center mount and
moved to the side.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirrors
Swing the visor down and lift the cover. The lamp
will automatically come on when the cover is
opened.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle is equipped with a theft-deterrent
alarm system.
With this system, the
security light will ash
when the door is
open and locked with
the power door
lock switch.
If this light is on continuously while the engine is
running, your vehicle needs service.
