Memory Function* 
The memory function allows a “one-touch” 
recall of personalized memory features like 
the positions of the driver seat and power 
mirrors. Use the memory controls located on 
the driver’s door to program and then recall 
memory positions. 
To program position 1, press and hold the 1 button until you 
hear a tone. Use this same procedure to set positions 2 
and 3 using the respective buttons. You can now use  
these controls to recall the set memory positions.
Tilting Front-row Head Restraints
Tilt the head restraint forward for additional comfort by 
gently pulling the top of the head restraint. Once it is in 
the forward-most position, tilting it forward once more 
releases it to the upright position.
Note: Do not attempt to 
force the head restraint 
backward after it is tilted. 
Instead, continue tilting 
it forward until the head 
restraint releases to the 
upright position.
