choice features available with your vehicle:
·Automatic Door Locks

driver and recall the settings previously programmed for
that driver. The settings can also be recalled by
brie¯y pressing one of the MEMORY buttons located on
the driver's door.If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
will recall the information from the last transmitter used
or the last driver using the memory seat controls. If
this happens and you were not the last driver of
the vehicle, simply press your correct driver number on
the memory seat controls or press the unlock button
on your remote keyless entry transmitter.
