AUTO DOOR LOCKS - automatically locks all
doors when the driver shifts out of PARK, all
doors are closed, and the vehicle speed is at
least three mph (five km/h). HORN CHIRP - sounds an audible "chirp"
when you press the LOCK button on the remote
entry transmitter to verify that the doors have
been locked and the vehicle's anti-theft system
has been armed (if equipped). SEAT ACCESS - moves the driver's seat back
two (2) inches or to the end of the seat track
when the vehicle is turned off and the ignition
key is removed. Upon the driver entering the
vehicle and closing the door, the seat will move
forward to its previous position. REVERSE MIRROR - when the vehicle is
shifted to REVERSE, the outside rearview
mirrors tilt down. This provides an improved
view of the side of the vehicle and curb area
when backing up. When you shift out of
REVERSE, the mirrors return to their previous
positions.
120Recalling Personality Memory
All of these settings are automatically recalled
when the driver unlocks the door using the
remote entry transmitter, keyless entry keypad or
presses either Memory I or Memory 2 switch
inside the driver's door. The vehicle must be in
PARK or NEUTRAL to recall Personality
Memory settings.
Remote Entry
Pressing the UNLOCK button 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 Memory I
and the other will always recall Memory 2.
Personality Memory 1 or 2 is indicated on the
back of the transmitter.
Personality Memory recall from the remote
transmitter can be disabled. This is done by sliding
the switch on the back of the transmitter to OFF.
Personality Memory can still be recalled using

keyless entry code or the Memory I or Memory 2
switches.
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 I or
Memory 2. Each time the 5-digit code is entered on
the keypad, the driver's door will unlock and
Personality Memory 1 or Memory 2 will be
recalled.
NOTE: Please note that even though the driver's
Personality Memory may be recalled using remote
or keyless entry, the seats and mirrors will not
move to the driver's set positions until the driver's
door is opened.
Memory Switches
Pressing either the Memory I or Memory 2 switch
on the driver's door will also recall the Personality
Memory settings as selected, providing your
vehicle is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).Auto Save
Any change made by the driver to one of the
above Personality Memory settings will be
updated and saved automatically. The display,
SAVED TO DRIVER I or SAVED TO
DRIVER 2, will appear on the Message Center
for five (5) seconds as a confirmation of the
update to Personality Memory. If a radio preset
is changed the radio display will also show
SAVED.
If the driver does not use the remote entry
transmitter, or keyless entry keypad to unlock the
doors upon entering or does not press the
Memory I or Memory 2 switch, then any change
to one of the Personality Memory settings
(except radio presets) will not be automatically
saved. Instead the driver will be prompted by the
Message Center whether to save the settings to
Driver 1 or Driver 2.
