Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Power Lumbar Control (If Equipped) Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
The
LUMBAR control is
located on the outboard side
of each front seat. It
provides additional support
to your lower back and it
works independently of the
other seat controls. Use the
power seat control first to
get the proper position.
Then proceed with the
lumbar adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, move the LUMBAR
switch forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support. Move the LUMBAR switch side to
side to raise or lower the support mechanism to suit
your preference.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as it
may during long trips,
so should the position of your
lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.
If you have the optional personalization package, the
power lumbar control can be programmed for memory
recall. For more information, see “Programmable, Memory and Personalization Features” in the Index. Automatic seat and mirror movement will occur if the
Remote Keyless Entry
(RE) transmitter is used to
enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the
transmitter corresponds to the
1 or 2 seat and
mirror position.
After the unlock button is pressed on the
RKE
transmitter (the ignition must be in LOCK) or when the
key is placed in the ignition, the seat and mirrors will
automatically adjust to the appropriate position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Automatic seat and mirror movement is programmed
through the Driver Information Center (DIC)
so that the
driver can select whether or not movement will occur
using the
RKE transmitter or by placing the ignition key
in the ignition. For programming information, see
“Programmable, Memory and Personalization
Features” in the Index.
Heated Front Seat (Option)
The control is located on the outboard side of each front
seat. Move the
SEAT HEAT control to either LO or HI to turn on the heating elements in the seat.
The
LO
setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat
approximates body temperature. The
HI setting heats the
seat to a slightly higher temperature.
A telltale light in
the control reminds you that the heating system is in use.
The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is
turned on.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
Press the recliner control forward or rearward to adjust
the seatback.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s
safety belt properly, see “Driver Position” earlier in
this section.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt
-- except for one thing. If
you ever pull the lap portion of the belt out all the way,
you will engage the child restraint locking feature.
If
this happens, just let the belt go back all the way and
start again.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR) Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) systems or air
bag systems.
Your vehicle has four air bags
-- a “Next Generation”
reduced-force frontal air bag for the driver, another
“Next Generation” reduced-force frontal air bag for the right
front passenger, a side impact air bag for the driver,
and another side impact air bag for the right front
passenger. Reduced-force frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the
risk of injury from the force of an
inflating frontal air bag. But even these air bags must
inflate very quickly if they are to do their job and
comply with federal regulations.
Here are the most important things
to know about the air
bag systems:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if you aren’t wearing your safety belt
-- even if
you have air bags. Wearing your safety belt
during a crash helps reduce your chance of
,. hitting things inside the vehicle or being
ejected from it. Air bags are “supplemental
’ restraints” to the safety belts. All air bags -- even
reduced-force air bags
-- are designed to work
with safety belts but don’t replace them.
CAUTION: (Continued)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced. There are
parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your dealer and the DeVille
Service Manual have information about servicing your
vehicle and the air bag systems.
To purchase a service
manual, see “Service and Owner Publications” in
the Index.
/1 CAUTION:
I
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close
to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are
probably part
of the air bag systems. Be sure to
follow proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is qualified
to do
so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.
Center Passenger Position
Lap Belt
If your vehicle has a front split seat and a rear bench
seat, someone can sit in the center positions.

The
oval key
doors and all is
for the
other locks. When
a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the
plug
from the door key. The plug has a code on it that
tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith how to make
extra keys. The ignition key has a
bar code tag attached
to it rather than a knock out plug.
Your dealer or
qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the
bar code tag.
Keep the
bar code tag and the door key plugs in a safe
place. If you lose your keys, you will be able to have
new ones made using the plug or
bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You
can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside and you
may have to
damage your vehicle
to get in. Be sure you
