sound.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0196.

less than 8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may
display a warning triangle on the
RVC screen and a graphic on the
instrument cluster to provide the

you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from

Seats and Restraints 51
Memory Seats
If equipped, the MEM, 1, and 2
buttons on the outboard side of the
driver seat are used to manually
store and recall the driver seat and
outside mirror positions. These
manually stored positions are
referred to as Button Memory
positions.
The vehicle will also automatically
store driver seat and outside mirror
positions to the current driver
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter when the ignition is
turned off. These automatically
stored positions are referred to asRKE Memory positions. See
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
026.
Storing Button Memory Positions
To store positions into Button
Memory: 1. Adjust the driver seat and both outside mirrors to the desired
driving positions.
2. Press and hold MEM (Memory) and 1 at the same time until a
beep sounds.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for a second driver using 2.
Recalling Button Memory
Positions
To recall the manually stored Button
Memory positions, press and hold
1 or 2. The driver seat and outside
mirrors move to the positions stored
to those buttons when pressed.
Releasing 1 or 2 before the stored
positions are reached stops the
recall.
If something has blocked the driver
seat 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 pressing the appropriate memory
button. If the memory position is still
not recalling, see your dealer for
service.

(Memory Remote Recall)
The Memory Remote Recall feature
can recall the driver seat and the
outside mirrors to previously stored
RKE Memory positions when
entering the vehicle.
Every time the ignition is placed in
OFF, the positions of the driver seat
and outside mirrors 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
stored to the 1 or 2 buttons. To
automatically recall RKE Memory
positions, unlock the driver door
with the RKE transmitter and open
