Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, take them out, put them back in and fold and
unfold them.
Driver's 4-Way Manual Seat
Use the lever on the front left side of the seat to adjust
the seat forward or rearward. Pull up the lever on the
front of the seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you
want it.
To make sure the seat is locked into place, release the
lever and try to move the seat with your body.
To raise the seat, pull up on the lever on the front right
side of the seat. To lower the seat, push the lever down.
CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver's seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you
don't want to. Adjust the driver's seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.

2-14Entering Programming Mode
To program features that are available on your vehicle,
your vehicle must be in the programming mode. Follow
these steps:
1. The Content Theft
-Deterrent system (if equipped)
must be disarmed. See ªContent Theft
-Deterrent
Systemº in this section.
2. Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse from the instrument
panel fuse block, located to the right of the glove
box. (See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.)
3. Close the driver's door.
4. Turn the ignition key towards you to ACCESSORY.
5. Count the number of chimes you hear. You will hear
two to four chimes depending on the features your
vehicle is equipped with. Refer to the chart
shown previously.
You can now program your choices.
To exit the programming mode, follow the steps listed
under ªExiting Programming Modeº later in
this section.
Delayed Illumination and Exit Lighting
With Delayed Illumination, the interior lamps will stay
on for about 25 seconds after all the doors and the
liftgate are closed.
With Exiting Lighting, the interior lamps will come on
and stay on for about 25 seconds whenever you remove
the key from the ignition.
To customize these features to your preference, see
ªProgrammable Modesº following.
Programmable Modes
Your vehicle can be programmed to one of the
following modes.
Mode 1: Both Features Off (The interior lamps will turn on
or off at the same instant that a door is opened or closed.)
Mode 2: Delayed Illumination Only (The interior lamps
will stay on for about 25 seconds after all the doors and
liftgate are closed, or until you lock the doors.)
Mode 3: Exit Lighting Only (The interior lamps will come
on whenever you remove the key from the ignition and stay
on for about 25 seconds, or until you lock the doors.)
Mode 4: Both Features On (This combines Modes 2 and 3.)
Vehicles are delivered programmed in Mode 4.

5. Repeat Step 3 until you hear the number of chimes
that matches the mode you want.
6. Remove your key from the door key cylinder.
The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit
the programming mode by following the instructions
next in this section or program the next feature available
on your vehicle.
Exiting Programming Mode
To exit programming mode, just turn the key from
ACCESSORY to OFF and put the BCM PRGRM fuse
back into the instrument panel fuse block.
NOTE: After programming a feature, you can exit the
programming mode at anytime. Also, if your vehicle is
equipped with the Content
-Theft Deterrent system,
remember to arm the system before exiting.
Sliding Door
To open the sliding door from outside the vehicle, pull
the handle out and then pull the door toward the rear. If
you slide the door all the way back, the door will rest in
a detent position. The door must overcome this detent
when closing.
To move the door forward, you must first pull the door
past the open detent position.
If your vehicle has a sliding door on the driver's side,
the door is designed to open only a little if the fuel door
is open. If this ever happens, don't try to force the
sliding door. Just close the driver's side sliding door.
Then when the fuel filler door is closed, the driver's side
sliding door can be opened normally.

2-30
If you want to open the sliding door when the security
lock is on, unlock the sliding door and open the door
from the outside.
You should let adults and older children know how the
security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If you
don't, adults or older children who ride in the rear won't
be able to open the sliding door from the inside when
the security lock feature is in use.
Resetting the Power Sliding Door
The power sliding door may operate incorrectly or not at
all because of the following conditions:

A low voltage or dead battery,

Disconnecting the battery or

If the IGN 1, B/U LAMP, RADIO or PWR
SEAT/PSD fuse is removed or blown.
See ªFuse Panelº in the Index for more information
about your fuse panel.
If any of these conditions occur, the power sliding door
will need to be reset. To do this, follow the directions
listed here. It will be easier if you read through them
once before beginning this procedure.1. Check to be sure the power sliding door is unlocked
and securely closed.
2. Turn the ignition key to OFF.
3. Turn on the power sliding door on the switchbank.
4. Remove the RADIO fuse from the underhood fuse
and relay center. Leave it out for 30 seconds.
5. Reinstall the fuse and wait 10 seconds.
6. Disable the power sliding door override feature.
7. Push either of the power door buttons to open the
power sliding door.
8. Open the door.
9. Wait five seconds and close the door by pushing
either power door button.
10. Wait five seconds and repeat Steps 7 through 9.
If the door does not rest in the fully open position after
repeating Step 7, repeat Steps 7 through 9 again. If the
door still does not operate correctly, see your dealer
for service.
NOTE: If your audio system is equipped with
THEFTLOCK and a code has been entered to secure
your radio, the code will need to be unlocked before
resetting the power sliding door. See ªTHEFTLOCKº in
the Index to unlock a secured radio.

PASS
-Key III uses a radio frequency transponder in the
key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS
-Key III system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will
stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a
trial
-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of electrical
key codes.When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not
start and the PASS KEY light comes on, the key may
have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off and
try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse (see ªFuses and
Circuit Breakersº in the Index). If the engine still does
not start with the other key, your vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service the
PASS
-Key III to have a new key made.
It is possible for the PASS
-Key III decoder to learn the
transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to
10 additional keys may be programmed for the vehicle.
This procedure is for learning additional keys only. If all
the currently programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith who
can service PASS
-Key III to have keys made and
programmed to the system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS
-Key III to get a new key blank that is a cut
exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.

2-56Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel will flash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
flashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won't see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned
-out bulbs and check the
fuse (see ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index).If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will flash at a
normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out.
Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to
make sure they are working.
Turn Signal on Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than
3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the
driver know to turn it off.
If you need to leave the signal on for more than
3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it
back on.
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from high to low beam, or low
to high, simply pull the turn signal lever all the way
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light on the
instrument cluster will also
be on.

To use your air inflator system, the engine must be
running or the ignition key in ACCESSORY. Attach the
appropriate nozzle adapter, if required, to the end of the
hose that has the pressure gage. Then attach that end of
the hose to the object you wish to inflate. Remove the
protective cap covering the outlet. Attach the other end
of the hose to the outlet. Press the ON switch.If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, press OFF and detach the hose,
first from the inflated object, then from the outlet.
Replace the protective cap. Place the inflator kit tools in
the pouch, and store in the glove box.
To replace the cover, line up the tabs at the back of the
cover and put it in place. Push down the tab to secure
the cover.

3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power outlet. Turn off all
lamps that aren't needed, as well as radios. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. In
addition, it could save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive (+) and negative (
-) terminals on
each battery.
CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
5. Your vehicle has a
remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal. The
terminal is under a
tethered cap at the front
of the underhood fuse
and relay center.
Squeeze the tabs and
pull up on the cap to
access the remote
positive (+) terminal.
You should always use the remote positive (+) terminal
instead of the positive (+) terminal on your battery.
