ment cluster display.
• For vehicles equipped with a manual trans- mission, the vehicle speed must be at
0 mph (0 km/h) to recall memory positions.
If a recall is attempted with the vehicle
speed above 0 mph (0 km/h), a message

Easy Entry/Exit Seat
This feature provides automatic driver’s seat
positioning to enhance driver mobility when
entering and exiting the vehicle.
The distance the driver’s seat moves depends
on where you have the driver’s seat positioned
when you remove the key fob from the igni-
tion (or change the ignition to OFF, for ve-
hicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go). • When you remove the key fob from the
ignition (or change the ignition to OFF, for
vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go), the driver’s seat will move about
2.4 inches (60 mm) rearward if the driver’s
seat position is greater than or equal to
2.7 inches (67.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. The seat will return to its previously
set position when you place the ignition
into the ACC or RUN position.
• When you remove the key fob from the ignition (or change the ignition to OFF, for
vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go), the driver’s seat will move to a position
0.3 inches (7.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop if the driver’s seat position is between
0.9 inches and 2.7 inches (22.7 mm and
67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat
will return to its previously set position
when you place the ignition to the ACC or
RUN position.
• The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the driver’s seat position is less than
0.9 inches (22.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. At this position, there is no benefit to
the driver by moving the seat for Easy Exit
or Easy Entry.

tion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods.

wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of
any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.
DRIVER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS —
IF EQUIPPED
The adjustable pedals system is designed to
allow a greater range of driver comfort for
steering wheel tilt and seat position. This
feature allows the brake, accelerator, and clutch pedals (if equipped) to move toward or

position with the steering wheel.
The adjustable pedal switch is located to the
left side of the steering column.
• The pedals can be adjusted with the igni-
tion OFF.
• The pedals cannotbe adjusted when the
vehicle is in REVERSE or when the Speed
Control System is on. The following mes-
sages will appear on vehicles equipped with
an instrument cluster display if the pedals
are attempted to be adjusted when the
system is locked out: “Adjustable Pedal
Disabled — Cruise Control Engaged” or
“Adjustable Pedal Disabled — Vehicle In
Reverse”.
NOTE:
• Always adjust the pedals to a position that allows full pedal travel.
• Further small adjustments may be neces- sary to find the best possible seat/pedal
position.
29

• For vehicles equipped with Driver MemorySeat, you can use your remote keyless entry
key fob or the memory switch on the driver’s
door trim panel to return the adjustable
pedals to pre-programmed positions. Refer
to “Driver Memory Seat” in “Getting To
Know Your Vehicle” for further information.
WARNING!

is moving. You could lose control and have
an accident. Always adjust the pedals
while the vehicle is parked.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under the adjust-
able pedals or impede its ability to move,
as it may cause damage to the pedal con-
trols. Pedal travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in
the adjustable pedal's path.
MIRRORS

position. If the mirror does not electrically
fold, check for ice or dirt build up at the pivot
area which can cause excessive drag. Resetting The Power Folding Outside Mirrors

• The mirrors are accidentally blocked while
folding.
• The mirrors are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
• The mirrors come out of the unfolded posi- tion.
