Recalling RKE Memory Positions
(Memory Remote Recall)
The Memory Remote Recall feature
can recall the driver seat, outside
mirrors, and adjustable pedals,
if available, to previously stored
RKE Memory positions when
entering the vehicle.
Every time the ignition is
placed in OFF, the positions
of the driver seat, outside mirrors,
and adjustable pedals, if available,
are automatically stored to the RKE
transmitter that was used to start
the vehicle. These positions are
called RKE Memory positions and
may be different than the previously
mentioned Button Memory positions
saved to the“1”or“2” buttons. To automatically recall RKE
Memory positions, unlock the driver
door with the RKE transmitter, and
open the driver door. On vehicles
with Keyless Access, opening the
driver door when an RKE transmitter
is present will activate the RKE
Memory recall. If the driver door
is already open, pressing the
RKE transmitter
Kbutton will also
activate the RKE Memory recall.
The driver seat, outside mirrors,
and pedals, if available, will move to
the previously saved RKE Memory
positions.
This feature is turned on or off using
the vehicle personalization menu.
See “Memory Remote Recall”
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑40 for more information. To stop recall movement, press
one of the memory, power mirror,
or power seat controls, or the
adjustable pedal switch, if available.
If something has blocked the
driver seat and/or the adjustable
pedals, if available, while recalling
a memory position, the recall
may stop. Remove the obstruction;
then press and hold the appropriate
manual control for the memory item
that is not recalling for two seconds.
Try recalling the memory position
again by opening the driver door
and pressing the RKE transmitter
K
button. If the memory position is
still not recalling, see your dealer
for service.

{WARNING
In freezing weather, do not
use your washer until the
windshield is warmed. Otherwise
the washer fluid can form ice on

Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass
receives its heading and other
information from Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak,
and vehicle speed information. Avoid covering the GPS antenna
for long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
See
Multi-Band Antenna on
page 7‑19 for the location of the
vehicle's antennas. The compass
system is designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or degrees
of turn before needing a signal
from the GPS satellites. When the
compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can receive
a GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See Compass
Messages on page 5‑34 for more
information on the messages that
may be displayed for the compass.
Clock (Analog Clock)
The analog clock is located on the

The clock is not connected with any
other vehicle system and runs by

1. Locate the adjustment buttons directly below the clock face.
2. Push and hold either adjustment button to advance or reverse the
clock hands. Holding the buttons
down will cause the clock to
advance faster. Release the
buttons before reaching the
desired time.
3. Push and release the buttons to increase the time by one minute
increments until the desired time
is reached.
