recall memory positions 1 or 2.
The memory seat switch is located on
the driver's door trim panel. The
switch consists of three buttons:
• The “S” (SET) button, which is used
to activate the memory save
function. • The “1” and “2” buttons which are
used to recall either of two
programmed memory profiles.
Memory Profiles Setting NOTE:
Saving a new memory profile will
erase an existing profile from memory.
To create a new memory profile,
perform the following:
• Cycle the ignition device to the ACC
or RUN position.
• Adjust all memory profile settings to
desired preferences (i.e., seat, side
mirrors, adjustable pedals (optional),
power tilt and telescopic steering
column, and radio station presets).
• Press and release the “S” button on
the memory switch.

Easy Entry/Exit Driver Seat This feature provides automatic driver
seat positioning to enhance driver
mobility when entering and exiting
the vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves
depends on where you have the driver
seat positioned when you place the
ignition device to the OFF position.
• When you cycle the ignition to the
OFF position the driver seat:
• will move about 2.36 in (60 mm)
rearward if the driver seat position
is greater than or equal to ca. 2.67
in (68 mm) forward of the rear
stop;
• will move to a position of ca.
0.31 in (8 mm) forward of the rear
stop if the driver seat position is
between 0.9 in (23 mm) and
2.67 in (68 mm) forward of the
rear stop.
• The seat will return to its previously
set position when you place the
ignition into the ACC or RUN
position.
• The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is
disabled when the driver seat
position is less than 0.9 in (23 mm)
forward of the rear stop. In this
position, there would be no benefit to the driver by moving the seat for
Easy Exit or Easy Entry.
Each stored memory setting will have
an associated Easy Entry and Easy Exit
position.
