MEMORY FUNCTION (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
Before activating the
memory seat, make sure that the area
immediately surrounding the seat is clear
of obstructions and that all occupants
are clear of moving parts. WARNING:
Do not use the
memory function when your vehicle is
moving.
This function automatically recalls the
position of these features:

The memory control is on the driver door. Saving a PreSet Position
1. Switch the ignition on.

display. You can save up to three preset memory
positions. You can save a memory preset
at any time.
Recalling a PreSet Position
Press and release the preset button
associated with your desired driving
position. The memory features move to
the position stored for that preset.
Note:
You can only recall a preset memory
position when the ignition is off, or when you
place the transmission in park (P) or neutral
(N) if the ignition is on and the vehicle is not
moving.
Note: Pressing any of the memory feature
controls during a memory recall cancels the
operation.
You can also recall a preset memory
position by:
• Pressing the unlock button on your
intelligent access key fob if you linked
it to a preset position.
• Unlocking the intelligent driver door
handle if a linked key fob is present.
Note: Using a linked key fob to recall your
memory position when the ignition is off
moves the seat and steering column to the
Easy Entry position.

positions for up to three remote controls
or intelligent access (IA) keys.
1. With the ignition on, move the memory
features to the position you desire.
