on the outboard side
I I
of each front seat. It
provides additional support
to your lower back and it
works independently

key is placed in the ignition, the seat and mirrors will
automatically adjust
to the appropriate position.
Automatic seat and mirror movement

lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to
the lamp control knob when a door is opened or
if you
press a remote keyless entry transmitter button. Since
the illuminated
entry system has a photocell, this means
that it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy
lamps or backlighting
to turn on. The courtesy lamps
turn off approximately
20 seconds after the last door is
closed
or after the ignition key is placed in the ignition.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits backlighting and the dimming
of the instrument panel lights during daylight while the
headlamps are
on. This feature operates with the light
sensor for the twilight sentinel and is fully automatic.
When
the light sensor reads darkness outside, the
instrument panel lights can be adjusted. Backlighting
to the instrument panel will also turn on.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps automatically come on
when either door
is opened and it is dark outside. For

against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When
the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes
if a new car has I5 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Storage Mode Personalization
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the Driver Information Center
(DIC) while the ignition is in RUN. Storage mode
personalization protects the battery by placing your
vehicle in a storage mode
so that the radio, amplifiers,
instrument cluster and remote keyless entry will
not drain the battery over a long period of time.
For programming information, see “Programmable,
Memory and Personalization Features” later
in
this section.
