1-3 Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
This feature allows you to program and recall memory
settings for the driver's seating and outside rearview
mirror driving positions for up to two drivers.
The buttons for this feature
are located on the driver's
door armrest.

stored setting. Each time a memory button is pressed, a
single beep will sound.
Three chimes will sound and the setting will not be
recalled if you press button 1 or 2 while the engine is
running and the vehicle is not in PARK (P) on an
automatic transmission or the parking brake is not
set on a manual transmission.
If you would like the stored driving positions to be
recalled when unlocking your vehicle with the remote
keyless entry transmitter or when you place the key in
the ignition, see ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

memory seat button 2 or the remote keyless entry
transmitter with the number 2 on the back.To recall the stored exit positions, press and release the
exit button. One beep will sound, and the seat will move
to the previously stored exit position for the currently
identified driver. If an exit position has not been stored
for this driver, the seat will move all the way back. The
position of the outside mirrors is not stored or recalled
for the exit position.
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the
vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall the exit positions.

be set if the engine is running to recall the stored
exit positions.
Three chimes will sound and the exit setting will not be
recalled if you press the exit button while the engine is
running and the vehicle is not in PARK (P) on an
automatic transmission or the parking brake is not set on

the driver's door is opened, see ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.

Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Power Outside Rearview Mirrors
The control on the driver's door armrest operates both
outside rearview mirrors.Press the left mirror symbol on the selector switch to
choose the driver's side mirror or the right mirror
symbol to choose the passenger's side mirror. The center
position is off and will not move the mirrors if the
control pad is touched.
Once you select the mirror you want to adjust, use the
arrows on the control pad to move the mirror in the
direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each mirror
so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area
behind your vehicle.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through an automatic car wash. To
fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the
mirror to its original position, push outward. Be sure to
return both mirrors to their original unfolded position
before driving.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
and the curb view assist feature if you have the optional
memory package. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat and Mirrorsº and ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

2-64
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the memory seat and
mirrors, it will also be capable of performing the curb
view assist mirror feature. This feature will cause the
passenger's mirror to tilt to a preselected position when
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE (R). Use this
feature to view the curb when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five
-second delay has occurred, the passenger's mirror
will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is
tilted, the mirror controls can be used. See ªPower
Outside Rearview Mirrorsº listed previously for
more information.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the DIC.
See ªVehicle Programming and Personalization
Featuresº in the Index for more information.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver's seat.
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.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside rearview mirrors to help clear them
of fog or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index
for more information.
