Saving a Pre-Set Position
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Adjust the seat, exterior mirrorsand power steering column to your
desired position.
3. Press and hold the desired pre-set button until you hear a single
chime.
Up to three pre-set memory positions
may be saved. A memory pre-set may
be saved at any time.
Recalling a Pre-Set Position
Press and release the pre-set button
associated with your desired driving
position. The seat, mirrors and
steering column will move to the
position stored for that pre-set.
Note: A pre-set memory position can
only be recalled when the ignition is off,
or when the transmission selector lever
is in position P or N (and your vehicle
is not moving) if the ignition is on.
A pre-set memory position can also
be recalled by pressing the unlock
button on your remote control or
intelligent access key if it is linked to
a pre-set position.
Linking a Pre-Set Position to
your Remote Control or
Intelligent Access Key
Your vehicle can save the pre-set
memory positions for up to three
remote controls or intelligent access
(IA) keys.
1. With the ignition on, move the memory positions to the desired
positions.
2. Press and hold the desired pre-set button for about five seconds. A
chime will sound after about two
seconds. Continue holding until a
second chime is heard.
3. Within three seconds, press the lock button on the remote control
you are linking.
To unlink a remote control, follow the
same procedure – except in step 3,
press the unlock button on the remote
control.
Note: To stop seat movement during
a recall, press any driver seat
adjustment control, any of the memory
buttons, or any mirror control switch.
Seat movement will also stop if you
move your vehicle.
Note: If more than one linked remote
control or IA key is in range, the memory
function will move to the settings of
the first key stored.

Driving on Hilly or Sloping Terrain
Note:Avoid driving crosswise or
turning on steep slopes or hills. A
danger lies in losing traction, slipping
sideways and possibly rolling over.
Whenever driving on a hill, determine
beforehand the route you will use. Do
not drive over the crest of a hill without
seeing what conditions are on the other
side. Do not drive in reverse over a hill
without the aid of an observer.
Although natural obstacles may make
it necessary to travel diagonally up or
down a hill or steep incline, you should
always try to drive straight up or
straight down.
When climbing a steep slope or hill,
start in a lower gear rather than
downshifting to a lower gear from a
higher gear once the ascent has
started. This reduces strain on the
engine and the possibility of stalling.
If you do stall out, do not try to
turnaround because you might roll
over. It is better to back down to a
safe location.
Apply just enough power to the
wheels to climb the hill. Too much
power will cause the tires to slip, spin
or lose traction, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
E143949
Descend a hill in the same gear you
would use to climb up the hill to avoid
excessive brake application and brake
overheating. Do not descend in
neutral; instead, disengage overdrive
or manually shift to a lower gear.
When descending a steep hill, avoid
sudden hard braking as you could lose
control. The front wheels have to be
turning in order to steer the vehicle.
Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,
therefore apply the brakes steadily.
Do not “pump” the brakes.
Driving on Snow and Ice
WARNING
If you are driving in slippery
conditions that require tire
chains or cables, then it is critical that
you drive cautiously. Keep speeds
down, allow for longer stopping
distances and avoid aggressive
steering to reduce the chances of a
loss of vehicle control which can lead
to serious injury or death. If the rear
end of the vehicle slides while
cornering, steer in the direction of the
slide until you regain control of the
vehicle.
