This feature recalls the following:

  • Driver seat.
  • Power mirrors.
  • Optional power steering column.

The memory control module is located on the driver door.

Storing a Preset Position

  1. Turn the ignition on.
  2. Adjust the memory functions to the desired position.
  3. Press and hold the desired preset button until you hear one tone.

You can store up to three memory preset positions. You can store a memory preset at any time.

Recalling a Preset Position

Press and release the preset button associated with your preferred driving position. The memory functions move to the position stored for that preset.

You can also recall a memory preset position as follows:

  • Press the unlock button on the remote control if it is linked to a preset position.
  • Unlock the driver door handle when a remote control is paired.

Linking a Preset Position to Your Remote Control

Your vehicle can store memory preset positions for three remote controls.

  1. With the ignition on, move the memory functions to the preferred positions.
  2. Press and hold the preferred preset button for approximately five seconds. A tone sounds after approximately two seconds. Continue holding until you hear a second tone.
  3. Within three seconds, press the lock button on the remote control to complete the linking.

To unlink a remote control, follow the same procedure, except in step 3, press the unlock button on the remote control.

Easy Entry and Exit

If you turn on the Easy Entry and Exit feature, it moves the driver seat back up to 2 in (5 cm) when the ignition is turned off.

The driver seat returns to its previous position when the ignition is turned on.

You can turn this feature on or off using the touchscreen. See Settings.
