Driver Seat Module - Memory Seat
The power driver seat, power outside rear view mirrors and power adjustable pedals are controlled by the driver seat module (DSM) only when the vehicle is equipped with the programmable/recall memory option. The DSM is located underneath the driver seat cushion.

The memory seat system consists of the following components:
- Driver seat module (DSM)
- Driver memory seat switch
- Memory set switch
- Adjustable pedal switch
- Power mirror switch with power fold
- Front vertical seat motor
- Rear vertical seat motor
- Horizontal seat motor
- Power recliner seat motor
- LH heated memory mirror
- RH heated memory mirror
- Power adjustable memory pedals
- Remote keyless entry transmitter

Two personalized seat positions may be programmed into the memory seat system. A memory seat position may be set by first positioning the driver seat using the driver power seat switch and depressing the memory SET switch. A light emitting diode (LED) is activated and memory seat position 1 or 2 must be selected within 5 seconds to set a personalized seat position. If position 1 or 2 is not selected within 5 seconds, the operation is aborted (LED is turned off). This operation also aborts if any input is received from the driver power seat switch, the power mirror switch, the adjustable pedal switch or if the memory SET switch is depressed again during the 5-second limit. The personalized memory seat positions are recalled using the memory switch positions 1 and 2 or with the remote keyless entry transmitter.

Climate Control Seats
The climate control seat system is able to heat and cool the front seats. Each climate controlled seat is operated by push-buttons on the dual automatic temperature controller (EATC) located on the instrument panel. Each front seat temperature is then monitored and controlled by the dual climate control seat module (dual CCSM) located underneath the passenger front seat cushion.

The climate controlled seat system contains the following components:
- EATC
- Dual CCSM
- Thermo-electric device (TED) within each front seat cushion and backrest
- Blower assembly (underneath each front seat cushion)
- Air filter (attached to each blower assembly)
- Blower ducts
- Cushion and backrest foam pads
- Cushion and backrest covers
