Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

Window Lock Out
The driver’s window controls also include a lock-out
switch. Press the right side of the WDO LOCK switch to
stop rear passengers from lowering their window.
The driver can still control all of the windows with the
lock on. Press the other side of the WDO LOCK switch
for normal window operation.
Sun Visors
To block out glare you can swing down the visors. You
can also remove them from the center mount and
swing them to the side. There may be an extension on
the inboard side of the sun visors. Pull the extension
out to block out glare.
Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull down the sun visor. Flip up the cover to expose the
vanity mirror.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirrors
Pull down the sun visor. Flip up the cover to expose the
vanity mirror. The lamps will come on when you open
the cover.
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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A security light, located on
top of the instrument panel
will ash slowly to let
you know that the system
has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
2-15

Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
The vehicle may have a rearview mirror that can be
adjusted for day or night driving. Push or pull the tab at
the bottom of the mirror to adjust it for day or night
conditions.
The mirror’s two outer buttons operate the lamps on the
bottom of the mirror.
The mirror may have a passenger airbag indicator. See
Passenger Sensing System on page 1-77for more
information.
Outside Power Mirror
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.
2-31

Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, it can be helpful when
parallel parking. The passenger’s outside rearview mirror
will tilt towards the curb when the vehicle is shifted
into REVERSE (R) and return to its previous position
when the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R). If
further adjustment is needed, the power mirror controls
can be used. SeeOutside Power Mirror on page 2-31.
Also seeDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-66
for information on how to turn this feature on and off.
Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver’s seat. It also makes things appear farther
away than they really are.
Outside Heated Mirrors
If the vehicle has this feature, the outside rearview
mirrors are heated when the rear window defogger is
turned on. See “Rear Window Defogger” underClimate
Control System on page 3-28,Dual Climate Control
System on page 3-30,orDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 3-33.
2-32

Sunroof
If the vehicle has a
sunroof, the switch to
operate it is located on the
headliner, between the
sun visors.
The sunroof switch will only work when the ignition is
ON or when the ignition is OFF and retained accessory
power (RAP) is active. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 2-21.
Notice:Opening the sunroof when the luggage
rack crossrails are not in the full-rear position could
cause damage to the sunroof or luggage rack.
Verify the luggage rack crossrails are in the full-rear
position before opening the sunroof.
Press the rear of the switch to open the sunroof to the
vent position. The sunshade must be opened by hand.Press and release the rear of the switch a second time to
express-open the sunroof. The sunshade will open with
the sunroof. Press the switch in either direction to stop it
from moving. If the rear of the switch is pressed and held,
the express-open operation will be overridden.
To close the sunroof, press and hold the front of the
switch.
Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver’s door
panel and are used to
store and recall the driver’s
seat position and the
outside rearview mirror
position.
The settings for these features can be personalized for
both driver 1 and driver 2. Driver 1 and driver 2
correspond to the memory buttons labeled 1 and 2 on
the driver’s door.
2-47

To store the memory settings, do the following:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat and the outside rearview
mirrors to the position you would like for driving.
2. Press and hold memory button 1 for more than
three seconds.
A double beep will sound when the memory seat and
mirror position have been stored.
To store the seat and outside rearview mirror positions
for a second driver, follow the previous steps, but
press button 2 instead.
To recall your stored positions, your vehicle must be in
PARK (P). Press 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 identied driver.
You will hear one beep.To store an exit position for each driver, do the following:
1. Move the seat to the desired exit position.
2. Hold the button with the exit symbol, located below
the memory buttons, for more than three seconds.
The exit position stored will be for the most recently
selected driving position (1 or 2). A double beep
will sound when the exit position is stored.
To use the exit feature, your vehicle must be in PARK (P).
Press and release the button with the exit symbol and the
seat will move to the exit position stored for the most
recently selected driver. You will hear one beep.
To stop recall movement of the seat at any time, press
one of the three memory buttons or one of the power seat
controls located on the outboard side of the driver’s seat.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Driver Information
Center (DIC), you can use it to program certain functions
of the memory seats. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 3-66.
