Memory Seat and Mirrors
If your vehicle has the memory feature, you can
program and recall memory settings for the
driver’s seating and outside rearview mirror
driving positions. Different adjustments can be
programmed for two drivers.The buttons for this
feature are located
on the driver’s
door armrest.
Use the following steps to program the buttons:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat including the seatback
recliner and both outside mirrors.
2. Press and hold button 1 for at least
three seconds.
Two beeps will sound to conrm that the seat
and mirror positions have been saved.
3. Repeat the procedure for a second driver

If your vehicle has an automatic transmission,
the vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall
the stored driving positions.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission and the
engine is running, the parking brake must be
set to recall the memory seat driving positions.
The stored driving positions can be recalled
without setting the parking brake if the vehicle
is off.
Press one of the numbered memory buttons to
recall the 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 when
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 after the
key is placed in the ignition, seeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 242.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat or mirror
controls.
Two personalized exit positions can also be
programmed. Use the following steps to program
exit positions:

button on the RKE transmitter, that has the
number 1 on the back of it, to recall the
driving position.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat to the desired exit

Two beeps will sound to conrm that the exit
position has been saved.
4. Repeat the procedure for a second driver
using memory seat button 2 or the RKE
transmitter, that has the number 2 on the
back of it.
To recall the stored exit positions, press and
release the exit button. One beep will sound, and
the seat will move to the stored exit position
for that 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 does
not change for the exit position.If your vehicle has an automatic transmission,
the vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall the
exit positions. If your vehicle has a manual
transmission and the engine is running, the parking
brake must be set to recall the stored exit
positions.
Three chimes will sound and the exit setting will
not be recalled if you press the exit button when
the vehicle is not in PARK (P) on an automatic
transmission or the parking brake is not set on a
manual transmission.

5. To tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder
belt while you push down on the child
restraint. You may nd it helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
7. If the airbag is off, the off indicator in the
rearview mirror will be lit and stay lit when
the key is turned to ON 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 and check with your dealer/retailer.
To remove the child restraint, just 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.

Passenger Sensing System
Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system for
the right front passenger position. The passenger
airbag status indicator will be visible when you
turn your ignition key to ON 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. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 202.The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger’s frontal airbag under certain
conditions. The driver’s airbags are not part of
the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with
sensors that are part of the right front passenger’s
seat. The sensors are designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the passenger’s frontal airbag should
be enabled (may inate) or not.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear rather than the front
seat. We recommend that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in
a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat and an older child riding
in a booster seat.

Canada

The passenger sensing system is designed to turn
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag if:
The right front passenger seat is unoccupied.
The system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat.
The system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint.
The system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat.
A right front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time.
The right front passenger seat is occupied by
a smaller person, such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints.
There is a critical problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing system.When the passenger sensing system has turned
off the passenger’s frontal airbag, the off indicator
in the rearview mirror will light and stay lit to
remind you that the airbag is off. SeePassenger
Airbag Status Indicator on page 202.
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 following the child restraint
manufacturer’s directions and refer toSecuring a
Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position
on page 66.
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.

Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:Is there anything I might add to the front
or sides of the vehicle that could keep the
airbags from working properly?
A:Yes. If you add things that change your
vehicle’s frame, bumper system, front
end or side sheet metal or height, they may
keep the airbag system from working properly.
Also, the airbag system may not work
properly if you relocate any of the airbag
sensors. If you have any questions about this,
you should contact Customer Assistance
before you modify your vehicle. 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 482.
Q:Because I have a disability, I have to get
my vehicle modied. How can I nd out
whether this will affect my airbag system?
A:Changing or moving any parts of the
front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing
and diagnostic module, the inside rearview
mirror, steering wheel, ceiling headliner, ceiling
and pillar garnish trim, 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 482.
