Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the seat belts
cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front of
you. In a crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is
in motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit well back in the seat and wear
the seat belt properly.

Seats and Restraints 39
Memory Seats
Overview
If equipped, the memory seat feature allows
drivers to save their unique driving positions
and a shared exit position. See“Saving
Seating Positions” later in this section. The
saved positions can be recalled manually by
all drivers, see “Manually Recalling Seating
Positions” later in this section, and drivers
with RKE transmitters 1 and 2 can also recall
them automatically. See “Auto Seat Entry
Memory Recall” or“Auto Seat Exit Memory
Recall” later in this section. To enable
automatic recalls, turn on Seat Entry
Memory and/or Seat Exit Memory. See
“Enable Automatic Recalls” under“Vehicle Personalization Settings”
later in this section.
The memory recalls may be cancelled at any
time during the recall. See “Cancel Memory
Seating Recalls” later in this section.
Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the current driver by
their RKE transmitter number 1–8. The
current RKE transmitter number may be
identified by Driver Information Center (DIC)
welcome message, “You are driver x for
memory recalls.” This message is displayed
the first few times the vehicle is turned on
when a different RKE transmitter is used. For
Seat Entry Memory to work properly, save
positions to the 1 or 2 memory button
matching the driver number of this welcome
message. To aid in identifying transmitter
IDs, it is recommended to only carry one
RKE transmitter when entering the vehicle.
Perform the following if the welcome
message is not displayed:
1. Move all keys and RKE transmitters away from the vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another RKE transmitter. A DIC welcome message
should display indicating the driver
number of the other RKE transmitter. Turn the vehicle off and remove the
other key or RKE transmitter from the
vehicle.
3. Start the vehicle with the initial key or RKE transmitter. The DIC welcome
message should display the driver
number of the initial RKE transmitter.
Saving Seating Positions
Read these instructions completely before
saving memory positions.
To save preferred driving positions to
1 and 2: 1. Turn the vehicle on or to ACC/ ACCESSORY. A DIC welcome message
may indicate the driver number of the
current RKE transmitter. See “Identifying
Driver Number” previously in this
section.
2. Adjust all available memory features to the desired driving position.
3. Press and release SET; a beep will sound.
4. Immediately upon releasing SET, press and hold memory button 1 or 2 matching
the current Driver’s RKE transmitter
number until two beeps sound. If too
much time passes between releasing SET
and pressing 1 or 2, the two beeps will
