With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted
the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers
to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number
on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter
or the ignition key is placed in the ignition,
the climate control settings will automatically adjust to
where they were last
set. The settings can also be
changed by briefly pressing the memory seat
buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.

settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers

store and recall their own radio settings for AM and FM
presets, last tuned station, volume, tone and audio
source (radio, cassette
or CD). The settings recalled by
the radio are determined by which remote keyless
entry transmitter
(1 or 2) was used to enter the vehicle.

a problem within the system, the
Driver Information Center
(DIC) will display a
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message. If this message
appears, have your vehicle serviced at your dealership.
