Four-Way Power Lumbar Control
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the driver's and

lumbar support controls are
located on the outboard
sides of the seats.
Use the power seat controls first to get the proper
position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, press the lumbar control
forward to increase support and rearward to decrease
support. Press the control up or down to raise or lower
the support mechanism.
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 Equipped)
The controls for these
features are located on the
driver's door panel, and are
used to program and recall
memory settings for the
driver's seating positions.

1. Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback
recliner, lumbar, head restraint and shoulder belt
height adjustments), both outside mirrors and the
steering wheel to a comfortable position.
2. Press the SET button.3. Within five seconds, press button 1. A single beep
will sound through the driver's side front speaker to
let you know that the position has been stored.
A second mirror, seating and steering wheel position can
be programmed by repeating the above steps and
pressing button 2 (for driver 2). Each time a memory
button is pressed, a single beep will sound. Each time
button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while the vehicle
is in PARK (P), the memory positions will be recalled.
If the vehicle is not in PARK (P), the memory buttons
must be pressed and held to recall the stored positions.
If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to enter
your vehicle, automatic seat and mirror movement will
occur. The numbers on the back of the transmitters,
1 and 2, correspond to the numbers on the buttons on
the door panel.
When the key is placed in the ignition in OFF if you
have entered the vehicle without using the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the seats and mirrors will
automatically adjust to the programmed position of
the last driver.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.

recalled by pressing the EXIT button. The mirrors,
power lumbar and shoulder belt height positions will
not be stored or recalled for the exit positions.
