Recalling Personality Memory
All of these settings are automatically recalled when the driver unlocks
the door using the remote entry transmitter, keyless entry keypad or
selects either Memory 1 or Memory 2. The vehicle must be in P (Park )
or N (Neutral) to recall Personality Memory settings.
Remote entry
Pressing UNLOCK on the remote entry transmitter unlocks the driver's
door and recalls all of the Personality Memory settings. Two transmitters
are delivered with the vehicle; one is programmed to always recall Driver
1 and the other will always recall Driver 2. Personality Memory 1 or 2 is
indicated on the back of the transmitter.
Personality Memory recall from the remote transmitter can be disabled
by sliding the control on the back of the transmitter to OFF. Personality
Memory can still be recalled by using the keyless entry code.
Keyless entry
Up to three unique keyless entry codes can be programmed by the
customer. Two of the codes can be assigned to recall Personality Memory
1 or Memory 2. Each time the five-digit code is entered on the keypad,
the driver's door will unlock and Personality Memory 1 or Memory 2 will
be recalled.
Please note that even though the driver's Personality Memory may be
recalled using the remote or keyless entry, the seats and mirrors will not
move to the driver's set positions until the driver's door is opened. The
steering column will move when the key is inserted in the ignition.
Memory controls
Selecting either Memory 1 or Memory 2 will also recall the Personality
Memory settings as selected, providing your vehicle is in P (Park ) or N
(Neutral).

Memory settings will be updated and saved automatically. The display,

Memory.
If the driver does not use the remote entry transmitter or keyless entry
keypad to unlock the doors when entering the vehicle, or does not select
the Memory 1 or Memory 2, then any change to the Personality Memory
settings will not be automatically saved. Instead, the driver will be

SELECT (located on the right side of the instrument cluster) to identify
yourself; otherwise, the new setting (and any subsequent changes) will
not be saved.
Turning Personality off
The Personality Memory feature can be turned off using the Memory
OFF control on the driver's door. The amber indicator will be lit when
the feature is turned off. Selecting either Memory 1 or Memory 2 will
turn on the Personality Memory feature and recall the saved settings.

setting to.
