for up to two drivers. Adjust the seat to a comfortable
ªexitº position and then press the SET button followed
by the EXIT button. While your vehicle is in PARK (P),
briefly press the EXIT button to recall your programmed
exit position.
Further programming for automatic seat and mirror
movement can be done using the Driver Information
Center (DIC). You can select or not select the following:

Automatic seat and mirror movement when the
vehicle is unlocked with the remote keyless entry
transmitter, or

automatic seat and mirror movement when a key
is placed in the ignition.
For programming information, see ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.Heated Front Seat (Option)
The switch for the heated
front seat is located in the
center console.
Move the switch to 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 light in the switch is on when the system is in use.
The heated seats can only be used when the ignition
is turned on.
To turn the heated front seat off, move the switch to
the center position.

Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or
if electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the body
and the trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on AUTO and the temperature between
65F (18C) and 85F (29C). That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock Release
The button for this feature
is located above the radio
on the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Press the TRUNK button to open the trunk.
You can also press the button with the trunk symbol
on the remote keyless entry transmitter to access the
trunk compartment.
When the trunk opens, a light will come on inside the
trunk so that you can see what's inside the trunk.
To use this feature, your vehicle must be in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N) and the VALET lockout button
must be off.

2-27
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power
than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills,
or in deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is put in
FIRST (1), the transaxle won't shift into gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.)
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can't turn, don't try to drive.
This might happen if you were stuck in very deep
sand or mud or were up against a solid object.
You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could cause overheating and
damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to
hold your vehicle in position on a hill.
Parking Brake
The parking brake pedal
is located to the left of
the regular brake pedal,
near the driver's door.
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal
down with your right foot and push down the parking
brake pedal with your left foot.
If the ignition is on, the BRAKE indicator light
should come on. If it doesn't, you need to have
your vehicle serviced.

2-53 Cigarette Lighter
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.
The cigarette lighter is located near the ashtray. You may
also have a lighter located at the rear seat air outlet.
Press the lighter all the way in and release it. It will pop
back out by itself once the element has heated for use.
Cigarette lighters can be used to provide electrical
power to accessories. See ªAccessory Power Outletsº
in the Index for more information.
Sun Visors
Swing down the visor to block out glare. It can also be
detached from the center mount and moved to the side.
The driver's sun visor is also equipped with a storage
flap that can be used for maps or toll tickets.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Move the sun visor down and lift the cover to see the
mirror. Move the slide switch up or down to brighten
or dim the lamp.

2-72 Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light tells you that
the engine coolant has
overheated. A warning
chime will sound if this
light comes on.
As a check, the light should come on for a few seconds
when you start your vehicle.
If the light comes on and the chime sounds while
you are driving, you should stop your vehicle and
turn the engine off as soon as possible. See ªEngine
Overheatingº in the Index for more information.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine
coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into
the shaded area, the engine
is too hot.
When the pointer is in the shaded area, that means
the same thing as when the engine coolant temperature
warning light comes on and the chime sounds.
See ªEngine Coolant Temperature Warning Lightº
previously in this section and ªEngine Overheatingº
in the Index for more information.

2-82
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation
of the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on
a level surface. A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears and
your vehicle has been parked on level ground with the
engine off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should
be checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to
checking the oil level, be sure the engine has been off
for five minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface.
Then check the dipstick and add oil if necessary.
See ªEngine Oilº in the Index.

- 140: This message will
display when the vehicle is being shifted out of

when the vehicle's speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
ENGINE COOLANT HOT, IDLE ENGINE
- 44:
This message will appear when the engine coolant
temperature is over 248
F (126
C). To avoid added
strain on a hot engine, turn off the climate control
system. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle until it cools
down or the message is removed. If it does not cool
down, turn off the engine and have it serviced before
driving it again. Severe engine damage can result from
an overheated engine. See ªEngine Overheatingº in
the Index.

2-83
ENGINE HOT - A/C OFF - 16: This message
displays when the engine coolant becomes hotter than
the normal operating temperature. To avoid added strain
on a hot engine, the air conditioning compressor is
automatically turned off so that air conditioned air is

normal, you must select AC to return to a normal A/C
compressor operation. If this message continues to
appear, have the system repaired as soon as possible to
avoid compressor damage.

exterior lamps is recommended even though the
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are still illuminated
(it's become dark enough outside to require the
headlamps and/or other exterior lamps).
ICE POSSIBLE
- 13: This message appears when
the outside air temperature is cold enough to create icy
road conditions.

change the messages to WAIT 3 MINUTES, WAIT
2 MINUTES, WAIT 1 MINUTE and then START CAR.
When the REMOVE KEY message is displayed, remove
the ignition key. Check the ignition key for damage. If it is damaged, it may need to be replaced. If you see
no damage, clean the pellet contacts with a soft cloth or
napkin before inserting the key back into the ignition.
Have your vehicle serviced if the message still appears.
SERVICE A/C SYSTEM
- 14: This message
appears when the electronic sensors that control the air
conditioning and heating systems are no longer working.
Have the climate control system serviced if you notice a
drop in heating and air conditioning efficiency.

the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (air bag) system
when this message appears. Let only a qualified
technician work on your vehicle. See your dealership
