position. The column will return when autoglide is completed.
During easy exit (if activated through the Message Center) operation the
column will move to the full in and up position. When the key is inserted
into the ignition switch the column will return to the previous setting.
When you remove the key the column will move away.
If the steering column adjustment control is pressed during memory
recall it will cancel the automatic operation and the column will respond
to manual adjustment of the control.

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.

be recalled.

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.

yourself; otherwise, the new setting (and any subsequent changes) will
not be saved.
