Basic operation
In order for the system to be able to store or recall an individuals seat or
mirror position preferences, the Driver Profile System must first
recognize who will be driving the vehicle. Drivers may identify
themselves to the system one of two ways:
²Pressing the unlock control on the appropriate Key FOB (DRIVER
MEMORY 1 or DRIVER MEMORY 2 Key FOB is identified by the
number on the back of the Key FOB) before opening the driver's door.
²Entering either the DRIVER MEMORY 1 or DRIVER MEMORY 2
personalized code into the keyless entry keypad before opening the
driver's door. For information on programming personalized codes see
Keyless entry systemin this section.
Pressing OFF will turn the system off.
Once the system has identified the driver (DRIVER MEMORY 1 or
DRIVER MEMORY 2), the seat and mirror will automatically begin to
move to that driver profile. Changes made to the seat or mirror positions
will automatically be saved to that profile.
If the driver should enter the vehicle without first identifying themselves,
all features will remain at their last setting or position and any settings
will be saved as vehicle settings not individualized settings.
If Driver 1 or Driver 2 wishes to make temporarily changes to their seat
or outside mirror positions without affecting their preferred positions
they may do so by:
²Using the switch on the back of the Key FOB to turn the Driver
Profile System OFF prior to pressing the unlock control on the Key
FOB.
²Entering the vehicle without identifying themselves using the two
methods listed above.
This option may be useful to temporarily reposition the driver's seat and
mirrors during an extended drive.
