Description & Operation

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 too many 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 reset.

The Driving Position Memory System (DPMS) can memorize driver's seat position and power mirror positions for 2 different drivers by pressing the MEMO button, then either button No. 1 or 2 on DPMS switch after adjustments have been made. The DPMS switch is located in driver's door panel. Adjustments can also be made manually. Afterward, when vehicle is in PARK and driver's door is closed, return to memorized position by pressing either DPMS switch button No. 1 or 2.

Memory mirrors use a Hall-Effect type tilt sensor to transmit voltage changes caused by mirror movement. These voltages are stored in DPMS control unit memory, relative to memorized positions. With power mirror switch in the center OFF position, when vehicle is shifted into REVERSE, passenger side rear view mirror tilts downward to aid driver's rear view.

On driver's seat, 4 motors provide for front up/down, rear up/down, forward/back, and recline adjustment. See Fig 1 . Each motor includes a reed-switch sensor, which sends a pulse signal to DPMS control unit to indicate motor position.
