Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat
Your vehicle may have this
feature. The controls are located on the driver’s
door, and are used
to program and recall memory settings for the
driver’s seating and
outside mirror positions.
Adjust the driver’s seat (including the seatback recliner
and lumbar) and both of the outside mirrors to the
desired position. Then press and hold button
1
(for driver 1) for three seconds. A double chime will
sound
to let you know that the position has been stored.
A second mirror and seating position can be
programmed by repeating the procedure with a second
driver and pressing button
2 for three seconds. Each
time button
1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK
(P), a single chime will sound,
and the memory position will be recalled.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver’s
seat and mirror positions will be recalled
if programmed
to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The numbers on the back of the transmitters,
1
or 2, correspond to the numbers on the memory
controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled by
placing the key in the ignition
if programmed to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any
time, press one of the power seat controls or memory
buttons.

Two personalized exit positions can be set by first
recalling the driver’s position (by pressing
1 or 2), then
positioning the seat in the desired exit position for
that driver. Press and hold the button with the exit
symbol for three seconds. A double chime will sound
to
let you know that the position has been stored. With
the vehicle in PARK (P), the exit position for that driver
can be recalled by pressing the exit button. The
mirrors, power lumbar and recline positions will not be
stored or recalled for the exit positions.
If no exit position
is stored, the default is all the way rearward. Further
programming for automatic seat and mirror
movement can be done through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). You may choose
to either select or
not select the following:
Automatic seat and mirror movement when the
vehicle is unlocked with the remote keyless entry,
automatic seat and mirror movement when a key is
placed in the ignition, and
automatic seat movement to the exit position when
the vehicle is in
PARK (P).

Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They
also let police know you have a problem. Your front
and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and
off.

The button for the hazard
warning flashers is located
on top of the steering
column. Horn
To sound the horn, press the horn symbols on the
steering wheel pad.
The hazard warning flashers work no matter what
position your key is in, and even
if the key isn’t in.
Press the button all the way down to make your front
and rear turn signal lamps flash on and
off. To turn
off the flashers, press the button again until it clicks and
then release it.

signals won’t work.
Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at
the side of the road about
300 feet (I00 m) behind your
vehicle.
Tilt Wheel
You should adjust the
steering wheel before you
drive. The tilt lever is
located on the driver’s side
of the steering column,
under the turn signal lever.
You can raise it to the highest level to give your legs
more room when you enter and exit the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the
lever toward you. Move the steering wheel to a
comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the
wheel in place.
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever Turn 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.
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
60 : Turn and Lane Change Signals
20 : Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Flash-to-Pass Feature
: Windshield Wipers
6 : Windshield Washer
: Cruise Control (If Equipped) 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. The bottom of the outside
rearview mirrors may also be equipped with lane change
indicators.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
flash more quickly than normal,
a signal bulb may
be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
