To heat only the seatback, press the vertical
button with the heated seatback symbol. An
indicator light on the seatback button will come on
to designate that only the seatback is being
heated. Additional presses of the seatback button
will cycle through the heat levels for the seatback
only. Press the horizontal button again to heat
the whole seat.
The heated seats will be canceled after the
ignition is turned off. If you still want to use
the heated seat feature after you restart your
vehicle, you will need to press the heated
seat button again.Memory Seat and Mirrors
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls for
the memory function
are located on the
driver’s door.
These buttons are used to program and recall
memory settings for the driver’s seat and both the
driver’s and passenger’s outside mirrors. The
settings for these features can be saved for up to
two drivers.
12

To store the memory settings, do the following:
1. If you have an automatic transmission, place
the vehicle in PARK (P).
If you have a manual transmission, set the
parking brake.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, including the seatback
recliner and lumbar, and both outside mirrors
to your preference.
3. Press and hold the 1 or 2 button of the
memory control for three seconds. A
double chime will sound to let you know that
the position has been stored.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver,
follow the preceding steps, but press the other
numbered memory control button.To recall a memory position, do one of the
following:
If you have an automatic transmission, press
and release the desired button 1 or 2 while
the vehicle is in PARK (P). A single chime will
sound and the memory position will be
recalled.
If the vehicle is not in PARK (P), the memory
position will not be recalled.
If you have a manual transmission, press and
release the desired button 1 or 2 while the
parking brake is set. A single chime will sound
and the memory position will be recalled.
If the parking brake is not set, the memory
position will not be recalled.
To stop recall movement of the memory seat
feature at any time, press one of the memory
buttons or power seat controls.

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
(Regular and Extended Cab)
(With Passenger Sensing System)
Your vehicle has a right front passenger airbag. A
rear seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. SeeWhere to Put
the Restraint on page 55.
If your rearview mirror has one of the indicators
pictured in the following illustrations, your
vehicle has a passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system is designed to
turn off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag
when an infant in a rear-facing infant seat or
a small child in a forward-facing child restraint or
booster seat is detected. SeePassenger
Sensing System on page 103andPassenger
Airbag Status Indicator on page 250for more
information on this including important safety
information.United States
Canada

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 a passenger sensing
system and the airbag is off, the off indicator in
the inside rearview mirror 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.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. Also make sure the child
restraint is not trapped under the vehicle head
restraint. If this happens, adjust the head restraint.
If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the
child restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle if
one is available and check with your dealer.
To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is
attached to the top tether anchor, disconnect
it. 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.
90

In any particular crash, no one can say whether
an airbag should have inated simply because
of the damage to a vehicle or because of what the
repair costs were. Ination is determined by
what the vehicle hits, the angle of the impact, and
how quickly the vehicle slows down.
The airbag system is designed to work properly
under a wide range of conditions, including off-road
usage. Observe safe driving speeds, especially
on rough terrain. As always, wear your safety belt.
SeeOff-Road Driving on page 372for more tips
on off-road driving.Single Stage vs. Dual Stage Airbags
Depending on the weight of your vehicle, you will
have either “Single Stage Airbags” or “Dual
Stage Airbags.” Vehicles that have a passenger
sensing system also have dual stage airbags.
If the rearview mirror in your vehicle has a
passenger airbag status indicator, your vehicle
has the passenger sensing system and therefore,
it has dual stage airbags. If the rearview mirror
in your vehicle does not have a passenger airbag
status indicator, then your vehicle does not
have the passenger sensing system and it has
single stage airbags. SeePassenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 250orPassenger Sensing
System on page 103.
Single Stage Airbags
If your vehicle has frontal airbags with single stage
deployment and your vehicle goes straight into
a wall that does not move or deform, the threshold
level is about 13 to 16 mph (20 to 25 km/h). The
threshold level can vary, however, with specic
vehicle design, so that it can be somewhat above
or below this range.
96

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.
Passenger Sensing System
If your rearview mirror has one of the indicators
pictured in the following illustrations, your
vehicle has a passenger sensing system. The
passenger airbag status indicator will be visible
when you turn your ignition key to RUN or START.The words ON and OFF or the symbol for on and
off, will be visible on the rearview mirror 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 250. If your rearview mirror does not
have either of the indicators pictured below, then
your vehicle does not have the passenger
sensing system.

Q:What if I added a snow plow? Will it keep
the airbags from working properly?
A:We have designed our airbag systems to work
properly under a wide range of conditions,
including snow plowing with vehicles that have
the optional Snow Plow Prep Package
(RPO VYU). But do not change or defeat the
snow plow’s “tripping mechanism.” If you
do, it can damage your snow plow and your
vehicle, and it may cause an airbag ination.
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 638.
