them, and fold them up and down. It also tells you about
reclining front seatbacks and head restraints.

the whole control toward the front or rear of the vehicle.

the entire seat cushion.

Your vehicle's power
lumbar controls are
located near the power
seat controls.
You can increase or decrease lumbar support in an area
of the lower seatback with the lumber controls.
You can also reshape the side wing area of the lower
seatback for more lateral support.
To increase support, press and hold the top of the
control. To decrease support, press and hold the
bottom of the control. Let go of the control when
the lower seatback reaches the desired level of support.

1-3 Memory Seat and Memory Mirrors
The memory function controls are located on the
driver's door trim panel.
For this function to work, it must be enabled/configured
in the Secondary Information Center (SIC).
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index
for more information.These buttons are used to program and recall the
memory settings for the driver's seat and both
the driver's and the passenger's outside mirrors.
The seat and mirror positions can be personalized
for both driver 1 and driver 2. Driver 1 or driver 2
corresponds to the memory buttons labeled 1 and 2
on the control.
The memory function does not store the lumbar or
back support positions.
To set your memory seat and mirrors do the following:
1. Adjust the driver's seat and both outside mirrors to
the desired position.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 (driver 1 or 2) button of the
memory control for three seconds. When you hear a
chime ring two times, the memory position is stored.
To do the same thing for a second driver, follow the
preceding steps, but press the other number of the
memory control. The memory feature only works when
the transmission is in PARK (P).

1-4
To recall memory seat and mirror positions, make sure
your vehicle is in PARK (P), then press the 1 or 2 button
of the memory control. You will hear a chime ring one
time to let you know the setting has been selected.
The memory seat and mirror positions can also be
programmed to work with the keyless entry system.
See ªSICº in the Index for more information.
Memory Driver Seat Exit
For this function to work, it must be enabled in the SIC.
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index for
more information.
When this feature is active, it will automatically
(if programmed in the SIC) or manually (when the EXIT
button is pressed) move the driver's seat to a stored exit
position, making it it easier to leave the vehicle.To store the seat exit position for driver 1 or driver 2,
do the following:
1. Select the desired driver number by pressing
the 1 or 2 button.
2. Move the seat to the desired position.
3. Press and hold the EXIT button of the memory
control for three seconds. When you hear a chime
ring two times, the exit position is stored for the
identified driver (driver 1 or 2).
To use the exit feature, do one of the following:

Press the EXIT button on the memory control.

Or, if you have this feature enabled (active) in the
secondary information center, then removing the
key from the ignition will cause the seat to move to
the preset exit position without having to press the
EXIT button.
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index for
more information.
