Keyless Memory Settings™When you unlock the driver's door
with your remote, each remote
activates the keyless memory
settings related to that remote. The

the remote:
●Customized settings
(see page83).●Driving position memory
(see page157).●Audio system settings
(see page200).●Climate control settings
(see page171).
When you unlock and open the
driver's door with the remote
transmitter, the driver's seat (except
the power lumbar feature) and
outside mirrors start to move to the
positions stored in memory. The
indicator in the related memory
button to the remote comes on. The steering wheel will move to the
stored position when you insert the

remote transmitter is used.

hold the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons at the same time. The LED
in the remote will blink twice. Then

back on, repeat this procedure. The
LED will blink once to indicate the
feature has been turned on.
