make sure that the area immediately
surrounding the seat is clear of
obstructions and that all occupants are
clear of moving parts. Do not use the memory function
when your vehicle is moving.

position of the following:
•
Driver seat.
• Power mirrors.
• Optional power adjustable foot pedals.
• Optional steering column.
The memory control is on the driver door. Saving a PreSet Position

at any time.
Recalling a PreSet Position
Press and release the preset button
associated with your desired driving
position. The memory features move to
the position stored for that preset.
Note: You can only recall a preset memory
position when the ignition is off, or when the
transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N) if
the ignition is on.
You can also recall a preset memory
position by:
• Pressing the unlock button on your
intelligent access key fob if it is linked
to a preset position.
• Unlocking the intelligent driver door
handle if a linked key fob is present.
• Entering a personal entry code on the
Securicode keypad. See

Locks (page 59).
Note: Using a linked key fob to recall your
memory position when the ignition is off

Note: Pressing any active memory feature
adjustment control (or any memory button)
during a memory recall cancels the
operation.
