Basic operation of Memory Profile System
In order for the system to be able to store or recall an individual's seat or
mirror position preferences, the Memory Profile 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 remote transmitter key
(DRIVER MEMORY 1 or DRIVER MEMORY 2 is identified by the
number on the back of the remote transmitter) 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 theControl and featuressection.
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 temporary 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 remote transmitter to turn
the Memory Profile System OFF
prior to pressing the unlock
control on the remote transmitter.
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.

Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.

To prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions) the
wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to
the tire being changed.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.
1. Park on a level surface, activate hazard flashers and set parking brake.
2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park) and turn engine OFF.
