Description & Operation

WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service operation. See appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. DO NOT apply electrical power to any component on steering column without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may deploy.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting battery, obtain anti-theft code for radio. After battery is reconnected, the word CODE will appear on radio display. Enter 5-digit anti-theft code using select buttons and radio will begin working. If code is entered wrong 10 times, leave radio on at least one hour and enter code correctly. Any time radio power is lost, pre-selected radio stations will have to be set.

The Driver's Position Memory Systems (DPMS) can memorize driver's seat position, power mirror positions and steering column position for 2 different driver's by pressing the MEMO button on the DPMS switch after adjustments have been made. The DPMS switch is located in the driver's door panel. Manual adjustments can also be made.

Memory mirrors use a Hall-Effect type tilt sensor to transmit voltage changes in voltage caused by mirror movement. These voltages are stored in DPMS control unit memory, relative to memorized seat positions.

On driver's seat, 4 motors provide for front up/down, rear up/down, forward/back, and recline adjustment. See Figure . Additionally, 2 motors are used to adjust steering column position. See Figure . Each motor includes a reed-switch sensor, which sends a pulse signal to DPMS control unit.
