Then immediately press and hold
1 or 2 until two beeps sound. To
manually recall these positions,
press and hold 1 or 2 until the
saved position is reached. Follow
the instructions under
“Saving

welcome message indicating the
transmitter number may display for
the first few ignition cycles following
a transmitter change. For Seat Entry
Memory to work properly, save the
positions to the memory button
(1 or 2) matching the RKE
