turns on the interior lights for 25 seconds. You can
turn these lights off with the LOCK button or by

two transmitters programmed will recall a different
seat position.
Pressing the transmitter UNLOCK button once will
unlock the driver's door and move the seat to its
corresponding memory seat/mirrors position, just as
if you had pressed the memory button in the
vehicle.When your dealer programs new transmitters, the
order of programming controls seat recall as follows:
q
First Transmitter Programmed Ð Recall
Seat/Mirrors/Steering Column Position #1
q
Second Transmitter Programmed Ð Recall
Seat/Mirrors/Steering Column Position #2
q
Third Transmitter Programmed Ð NO
Recall/Memory Seat/Mirrors/Steering Column
(allows only three positions)
You may change seat/mirrors positions at any time.
Once programmed, Transmitter #1 will always
move the seat/mirrors/steering column to position
#1.
The feature is turned on at the factory for your
convenience. You can deactivate the system by
using the OFF button or switching the key fob
switch to OFF.
