Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals
Your vehicle may have the memory package.
The controls for this
feature are located on
the driver’s door
panel, and are used to
program and recall
memory settings for the
driver’s seat, outside
mirrors, and the
adjustable throttle and
brake pedal.
To save your positions in memory, do the
following:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, including the seatback
recliner and lumbar, both outside mirrors, and
the throttle and brake pedals to a comfortable
position.
SeeOutside Power Mirrors on page 176and
Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal on
page 136for more information.Not all mirrors will have the ability to save and
recall their positions.
Not all adjustable throttles and brake pedals
will have the ability to save and recall their
positions.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps are
heard indicating that the position has been
stored.
A second seating, mirror, and throttle and brake
pedal position can be programmed by repeating
the above steps and pressing button 2.
To recall the memory positions, the vehicle must
be in PARK (P). Press and release either button 1
or button 2 corresponding to the desired driving
position. The seat, outside mirrors, and adjustable
throttle and brake pedals will move to the position
previously stored. You will hear a single beep.
If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to
enter your vehicle and the remote recall memory
feature is on, automatic seat, adjustable mirror,
and adjustable pedal movements will occur.
See “MEMORY SEAT RECALL” underDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 289
for more information.
13

To stop recall movement of the memory function
at any time, press one of the power seat controls,
memory buttons, power mirror buttons, or
adjustable pedal switch.
If something has blocked the driver’s seat and/or
the adjustable pedals while recalling a memory
position, the driver’s seat and/or the adjustable
pedals recall may stop working. If this happens,
remove the obstruction and press the appropriate
control for the area that is not responding for
two seconds. Try recalling the memory position
again by pressing the appropriate memory button.
If the memory position is still not recalling, see
your dealer for service.Easy Exit Seat
The control for this feature is located on the
driver’s door panel between buttons 1 and 2.
With the vehicle in PARK (P), the driver’s seat exit
position can be recalled by pressing the exit
button. You will hear a single beep, and the
driver’s seat will move back.
If the easy exit seat feature is programmed in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), automatic
seat movement will occur when the key is removed
from the ignition. See “EASY EXIT SEAT” under
DIC Vehicle Customization (With DIC Buttons)
on page 289for more information.
The memory seat and easy exit features can also
be programmed using the DIC.
For programming information, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 289.

On the extended cabs,
push down on the
release button (A) and
move the height
adjuster to the desired
position.
You can move the adjuster up just by pushing up
on the shoulder belt guide.
After you move the adjuster to where you want it,
try to move it down, without squeezing the
buttons for the regular and crew cabs, or without
pushing the release button for extended cabs,
to make sure it has locked into position.
Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to
be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts.A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder
belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low
as possible, below the rounding, throughout
the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt
in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone,
the key to making safety belts effective is wearing
them properly.
Extended Cab

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. If your child restraint manufacturer
recommends using a top tether, and the
position you are using has a top tether anchor,
attach and tighten the top tether to the top
tether anchor. Refer to the instructions
that came with the child restraint and toLower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 58.
8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
9. If your vehicle has the passenger sensing
system and the airbag is off, the off indicator in
the overhead console will be lit and stay lit
when the key is turned to RUN or START.
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.

{CAUTION:
If the right front passenger’s airbag is
turned off for a person who is not in a risk
group identied by the national
government, that person will not have the
extra protection of an airbag. In a crash,
the airbag will not be able to inate and
help protect the person sitting there. Do
not turn off the passenger’s airbag unless
the person sitting there is in a risk group.
To turn off the right front passenger’s airbag,
insert your ignition key into the switch, push in, and
move the switch to the off position.
The word OFF or the off symbol will come on in
the passenger airbag status indicator located in the
overhead console to let you know that the right
front passenger’s airbag is off, after the system
check is completed. The airbag off light will come
on and stay on to let you know that the right
front passenger’s airbag is off. SeeAirbag Off Light
on page 250.

{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on when you have turned off the airbag, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. The right front
passenger’s airbag could inate even
though the switch is off. If this ever
happens, do not let anyone whom the
national government has identied as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger’s position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front
passenger’s seat) until you have your
vehicle serviced. SeeAirbag Readiness
Light on page 250for additional
information.To turn the right front passenger’s airbag on
again, insert your ignition key into the switch, push
in, and move the switch to the on position.
The right front passenger’s frontal airbag is now
enabled (may inate). SeeAirbag Off Light
on page 250for more information.
