preferred position.

Recalling a PreSet Position
Press and release the preset button

the position stored for that preset.
Note: You can only recall a preset memory
position when the ignition is off, or when the
transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N)
and the vehicle is not moving if the ignition
is on.
You can also recall a preset memory
position by:
• Pressing the unlock button on your
remote control if it is linked to a preset
position.
• Unlocking the driver door handle if a
linked remote control is present. Note:
Using a linked remote control to
recall your memory position when the
ignition is off moves the seat to the Easy
Entry position.
Note: Pressing any active memory feature
adjustment control, or any memory button
during a memory recall, cancels the
operation.

Remote Control
Your vehicle can save the preset memory
positions for up to three remote controls.
1. With the ignition on, move the memory
features to the preferred positions.
2. Press and hold the preferred preset button for about five seconds. A tone
sounds after about two seconds.
Continue holding until you hear a
second tone.
3. Within three seconds, press the lock button on the remote control you are
linking.
To unlink a remote control, follow the
same procedure – except in step 3, press
the unlock button on the remote control.
Note: If more than one linked remote
control or intelligent access key is in range,
the memory function moves to the settings
of the first key to recall a memory position.

feature, it moves the driver seat position
rearward up to 2 in (5 cm) when you switch
the ignition off.
