DRIVER MEMORY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
Once programmed, the memory buttons 1 and 2 on the
driver’s door panel can be used to recall the driver’s seat
position, driver’s outside mirror position, adjustable
brake and accelerator pedals position, Automatic Tem-
perature Control (ATC) temperature and radio station
preset settings. Your Remote Keyless Entry transmitters
can also be programmed to recall the same positions
when the UNLOCK button is pressed.
Your vehicle was delivered with two Remote Keyless
Entry transmitters. One or both transmitters can be
linked to either memory position. The memory system
can accommodate up to two transmitters, each transmit-
ter linked to either of the two memory positions.

Remote Keyless Entry transmitter to recall memory po-
sitions.

Memory Position Recall
NOTE:
•The driver’s seat belt must be unbuckled to recall
memory positions.
•The vehicle must be in Park to recall memory posi-
tions.
•Not all motors may be moved at one time. Please refer
to the 8-way power seat description.
To recall the memory settings for driver one, press
memory button number 1 on the driver’s door or the
Unlock button on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter
linked to memory position 1.
To recall the memory setting for driver two, press
memory button number 2 on the driver’s door or the
Unlock button on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter
linked to memory position 2.A recall can be cancelled by pressing any of the memory
buttons on the drivers door during a recall (S, 1, or 2), or
pressing any one of the power seat buttons, or pressing
the adjustable pedals button, or pressing either the LOCK
or UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry trans-
mitter when not in the ignition switch. When a recall is
cancelled, the driver’s seat, and the pedals stop moving.

3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the UNLOCK
button on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
To disable another transmitter linked to either memory
position, repeat steps 1-3 for each transmitter.
NOTE:The capability to link Remote Keyless Entry
transmitters to memory is enabled when delivered from
the factory. The capability to link Remote Keyless Entry
transmitters to memory can be disabled (or later reen-
abled) by a qualified DaimlerChrysler representative.
Self-Limiting Control
To improve vehicle reliability, the memory system in-
cludes a self-limiting control for full travel positioning of
power seat and Adjustable Pedal movement (all direc-
tions). This self-limiting control may however develop an
unintended movement limitation if an obstruction is
encountered at sometime during usage. One example of
such an occurrence may include a box or package ob-
structing the full rearward movement of the driver’s seat.Once the obstruction is removed, the self-limiting control
may be restored to maximum position. The self-limiting
control may be restored by first reaching the recently
limited or obstructed position, then release and reactivate
the same button or buttons. Continued seat travel beyond
the obstructed position will indicate the recently encoun-
tered self-limitation has been cleared.
Driver Easy Exit and Easy Entry Control
This additional feature provides automatic driver’s seat
positioning which will enhance driver mobility out of
and into the vehicle. The seat cushion will move rear-
ward approximately 2.5 inches (60 mm) when the key is
removed from the ignition switch. The seat will move
forward approximately 2.5 inches (60 mm) when the key
is placed into the ignition and turned out of the LOCK
position. Each stored memory setting will have an asso-
ciated Easy Exit and Easy Entry position. The Easy Exit
and Easy Entry feature may be automatically disabled if

Headlights, Parking Lights, Panel Lights
When the headlight switch is rotated to the first position
to the right, the parking lights, taillights, side marker
lights, license plate light and instrument panel lights are
all turned on. The headlights will turn ON when the
switch is rotated to the second position.
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight lenses
that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore
different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and
reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution fol-
lowed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel
wool or other abrasive materials to clean the lenses.
Illuminated Entry
Headlights turn on for 90 seconds, when the Remote
Keyless Entry UNLOCK button is pressed.
NOTE:This feature can be activated by your authorized
dealer.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only)
The headlights on your Durango will illuminate when
the engine is started. This provides a constant “Lights
ON” condition until the ignition is turned OFF. The lights
illuminate at reduced intensity. If the parking brake is
applied the Daytime Running Lights will turn off. If the
headlights are activated, the Daytime Running Lights
feature will transition to the normal headlight operating
mode.

OVERHEAD CONSOLE
The overhead console has the following features:
•Courtesy Lights
•Garage Door Opener — If Equipped
•Compass/Temperature Mini-Trip Computer — If

Courtesy/Reading Lights
Near the front of the console are two courtesy/reading
lights.
Both lights illuminate as courtesy lights when a door is
opened, when the dimmer control is rotated to the
courtesy light position (fully upward position), or when
the UNLOCK button is pressed on the Remote Keyless
Entry transmitter, if so equipped. These lights are also
operated individually as reading lights by pressing the
recessed area of the corresponding lens.
NOTE:The courtesy/reading lights will remain on until
the switch is pressed a second time, so be sure they have
been turned off before leaving the vehicle. If the interior
lights are left on after the vehicle is turned OFF, they will
extinguish after 15 minutes.
