Memory Seat (Option)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver's
door panel and are used
to program and recall
the driver's seat position
and outside rearview
mirror position.
Adjust the driver's seat and the outside rearview mirrors
to the position you would like for driving. Then press
and hold memory button 1 for more than three seconds.
A double beep will sound when the memory seat and
mirrors are set.
To set the seat and outside rearview mirrors for a
second driver, follow the previous steps, but press
button 2 instead.
To recall your memory positions, your vehicle must
be in PARK (P). Push and release the memory button
(1 or 2) corresponding to the desired driving position.
The seat and the outside rearview mirrors will move to
the position previously stored for the identified driver.
You will hear one beep.

2-57 Electrochromic Automatic Dimming
Rearview Mirror (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an electrochromic day/night
rearview mirror. Push the button in the center of the
mirror to turn this feature on. The mirror will darken
gradually to reduce glare from headlamps behind you.
This may take a few moments. The mirror will also
lighten whenever you shift to REVERSE (R).
The mirror's two outer buttons operate the lights on the
bottom sides of the mirror.
One photocell on the front of the mirror senses when it
is becoming dark outside. Another photocell, facing
rearward, senses headlamps behind you.To turn the electrochromic feature off, press the button
in the center of the mirror again.
To keep the photocells operating well, occasionally
clean them with a cotton swab and glass cleaner.
Power Outside Rearview Mirrors
The power mirror
controls are located
on the driver's
door armrest.
To choose either the left or right outside mirror,
press the selector switch. Press any of the four arrows
located on the control pad to move the mirrors in the
desired direction.
Adjust each mirror so you can see the side of your
vehicle and the area behind your vehicle.

4-41 Driving with a Trailer
CAUTION:
If you have a rear-most window open and you
pull a trailer with your vehicle, carbon monoxide
(CO) could come into your vehicle. You can't see
or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness or
death. See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
To maximize your safety when towing a trailer:

Have your exhaust system inspected for
leaks, and make necessary repairs before
starting on your trip.

Keep the rear
-most windows closed.

If exhaust does come into your vehicle
through a window in the rear or another
opening, drive with your front, main
heating or cooling system on and with the
fan on any speed. This will bring fresh,
outside air into your vehicle. Do not use
recirculation because it only recirculates
the air inside your vehicle. See ªComfort
Controlsº in the Index.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience.
Before setting out for the open road, you'll want to get
to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of
handling and braking with the added weight of the
trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are
driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as
responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform
(and attachments), safety chains, electrical connector,
lamps, tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has
electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure
the brakes are working. This lets you check your
electrical connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the
load is secure, and that the lamps and any trailer brakes
are still working.
