Power Seats
If the vehicle has power
seats, the controls used
to operate them are
located on the outboard
side of the seats.
To adjust the seat, do any of the following:
Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding
the horizontal control forward or rearward.
Raise or lower the front part of the seat
cushion by moving the front of the horizontal
control up or down.
Raise or lower the rear part of the seat
cushion by moving the rear of the horizontal
control up or down.
Raise or lower the entire seat by moving the
entire horizontal control up or down.
If the seats have power reclining seatbacks, the
control used to operate them is located behind
the power seat control on the outboard side of the
seats. See “Power Reclining Seatbacks” under
Reclining Seatbacks on page 14.

Manual Lumbar
If your vehicle has
this feature, there is
a knob located on
the outboard side of
the driver’s seat.
Turn the top of the knob toward the front of the
vehicle to increase lumbar support. Turn the top
of the knob toward the rear of the vehicle to
decrease lumbar support.
Power Lumbar
Your vehicle may have power lumbar on the
driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
The seatback lumbar
support can be adjusted
by moving the control
located on the outboard
side of the seat
cushions.
To increase or decrease support, hold the control
forward or rearward.
Keep in mind that as your seating position
changes, as it may during long trips, so should the
position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat
as needed.

See “Seat Recall” underDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 229for more information.
To stop recall movement of the memory seat
feature at any time, press one of the memory
buttons or power seat controls.
Easy Exit Seat
The control for the easy exit seat function is
located on the driver’s door below the memory
buttons 1 and 2. The easy exit seat button is used
to program and recall the desired driver’s seat
position when exiting or entering the vehicle. The
mirrors, power lumbar, recline, and adjustable
pedals, if equipped, positions will not be stored or
recalled when using the easy exit seat function.
The seat position can be saved for up to
two drivers.
To store the easy exit seat position, do the
following:
1. Press and release the 1 or 2 button of the
memory control for less than three seconds.
The seat will move to the stored memory
position.
2. Adjust the seat to the desired exit position.3. Press and hold the easy exit seat button for
more than three seconds. A double chime will
sound to let you know that the position has
been stored for the selected button 1 or 2.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver,
follow the preceding steps, but press the other
numbered memory control button.
To recall the easy exit seat position, do one of the
following:
Press the easy exit seat button on the
memory control while the vehicle is in
PARK (P). The seat will move to the stored
exit position.
Or, if the easy exit seat feature is activated in
the Driver Information Center (DIC), removing
the key from the ignition will move the seat
to the exit position. See “Easy Exit Seat” under
DIC Vehicle Customization on page 229for
more information on activating this feature in
the DIC.
If an easy exit seat position has not been stored,
the default position is all the way rearward.

To return the seatback to an upright position, do
the following:
1. Lift the lever fully without applying pressure
to the seatback and the seatback will return
to the upright position.
2. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure
it is locked.Power Reclining Seatbacks
If your seats have
power reclining
seatbacks, use the
vertical power
seat control located
on the outboard side
of the seat(s).
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.

A label on your sun visor says, “Never put a
rear-facing child seat in the front.” This is because
the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the
airbag deploys.
{CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint
can be seriously injured or killed if the
right front passenger’s airbag in ates.
This is because the back of the rear-facing
child restraint would be very close to the
in ating airbag.
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the right
front passenger’s frontal airbag if the
system detects a rear-facing child restraint,
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend
that rear-facing child restraints be secured
in the rear seat, even if the airbag is off.
If you need to secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the right front seat,
always move the front passenger seat as
far back as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front seat position, move the
seat as far back as it will go before securing
the forward-facing child restraint. SeeManual
Seats on page 8orPower Seats on page 9.

If your child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 56.
There is no top tether anchor at the right front
seating position. Do not secure a child seat in this
position if a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored or if the instructions
that come with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored. SeeLower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 56
if the child restraint has a top tether.
You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow
the instructions that came with the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s
frontal airbag. SeePassenger Sensing
System on page 82. We recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be secured in
a rear seat, even if the airbag is off.If your child restraint is forward-facing, move
the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the child restraint in this seat. See
Manual Seats on page 8orPower Seats
on page 9.
When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag, the off indicator in the passenger airbag
status indicator should light and stay lit
when you turn the ignition to RUN or START.
SeePassenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 202.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and
shoulder portions of the vehicle’s safety belt
through or around the restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show you how.

Electric Power Management
This vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), an advanced control
system. It estimates the battery’s temperature
and state of charge and then adjusts the voltage
for best performance and extended life of
the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, you may
see the voltage move up or down. This is normal.
If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s
output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It
can increase engine idle speed to generate more
power, whenever needed. It can temporarily
reduce the power demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels,
without being noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action, this action may
be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or Battery
Voltage Low. If this message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver reduce the electrical
loads as much as possible. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 222.
