Recalling a Preset Position
Press and release the preset button
associated with your preferred 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 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 intelligent driver door
handle if a linked remote control is
present.
• Recalling a personal profile in your SYNC
3 menu.
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.
Easy Entry and Exit Feature
If you enable the easy entry and exit feature,
it moves the driver seat position rearward up
to 2 in (5 cm) when you switch the ignition
off.
The driver seat returns to the previous
position when you switch the ignition on.
You can enable or disable this feature
through the touchscreen.
See Settings
(page 540). Personal Profiles
This feature allows you to create multiple
personal profiles enabling users to
personalize vehicle
’s settings. You can
create one profile for each preset memory
seat button along with a guest profile. You
can recall a profile using SYNC 3 or the
preset button you selected when you created
your profile. You can also link a remote
control and a mobile device to your profile,
which are used to recall it.
Creating a Personal Profile

profile.

Linking a Personal Profile to Your Remote
Control or Mobile Device
You can save preset memory positions for
up to three remote controls, by assigning a
remote control to a personal profile in your
SYNC 3. You can assign three additional
remote controls set up as Phone as a Key.

2. Select the Personal Profiles button under
Settings.
3. Touch the arrow for the profile you wish to link to a remote control or mobile
device.

control, mobile device, or both.
5. Follow the instructions on the display. Note:
To successfully link a mobile device,
the mobile device must be present in your
vehicle, and must have previously been
setup as a remote control for your vehicle.
Note: If more than one linked remote control
is in range, the memory function moves to
the settings of the first key to initiate a
memory recall.
Note: The guest profile consists of existing
settings when there is no driver profile
created. After you create a driver profile, the
guest profile serves as an additional driver
profile.
Note: You cannot link a personalized name,
a memory seat button or a remote control
to a guest profile.
Personal Settings
Personal Profiles allow you to personalize
positional settings such as seats and mirrors,
as well as non-positional settings such as
radio, navigation, driver assist and system
settings.
See SYNC™ 3 (page 492). You
cannot change the menu locations and
settings of those personalized features with
Personal Profiles. Note:
Non-positional settings are saved to
the active driver profile whenever you
change a setting.
Note: You can save positional settings if you
press and hold a memory seat button.
Recalling and Changing a Profile
You can recall a profile by:
• Using a remote control or mobile device
that has been linked to a driver profile to
access the remote start feature, press an
unlock button or open the door with the
exterior door handle.
• Pressing a memory seat button that has
been linked to a driver profile.
• Using the Personal Profiles menu on the
SYNC touchscreen.

previously active profile. If the active profile
is not your preferred profile, you can change
it using any of the three methods listed.

When you switch on the Personal Profiles
feature:

Unlocking a door with a remote control
or mobile device that is not linked to a
driver profile does not change the active
profile, but remains the last known
profile. It will not change the positional
settings.
• Pressing a memory seat button that is
not linked to a driver profile or has not
been saved to a preset setting does not
change active profile, but remains in the
last known profile. It will not change the
positional settings.
• Pressing a memory seat button that is
not linked to a driver profile but has been
saved to a preset setting does not recall
any non-positional settings, but recalls
the positional settings that you saved to
that memory seat button.
See SYNC™ 3 Troubleshooting (page 542). When you switch off a Personal Profiles
feature:
•
Unlocking a door with a remote control
or mobile device does not recall any
non-positional settings, but still recalls
positional settings from the driver profile
which the remote control or mobile
device had been linked to.
• Pressing a memory seat button that has
not been linked to a driver profile or has
not been saved to a preset setting does
not recall any settings, positional or
non-positional.
• Pressing a memory seat button that has
been linked to a driver profile or has
saved to a preset setting does not recall
any non-positional settings, but recalls
the positional settings that you saved to
that memory seat button.
