transmitter need not be reprogrammed unless it needs
to correspond to the other numbered memory button.

adjust the seat.
Pressing any of the seat adjuster switches, the SET
button or pressing the desired memory button twice will
cause the seat to stop moving.
If you press the numbered button to adjust the seat and
start the vehicle while the seat is still adjusting,

Setting the seat memory function for a particular driver
will also personalize the radio station presets that have
been selected. Each time the driver sets this function, the
respective radio station presets will also be retained.
