features:
Driver seat position
Easy Entry/Exit seat operation (on/off)
(if equipped)
Side mirrors
Adjustable pedals (if equipped)
A set of desired radio station presets

mirror positions will not set as part of a
memory profile.
Your vehicle is equipped with two key fobs,
one key fob can be linked to memory position
1 and the other key fob can be linked to
memory position 2. The driver memory settings switch is located on
the driver door, next to the door handle, and
consists of three buttons:

the memory save function.
The (1) and (2) buttons which are used to
recall either of two saved memory profiles.

Easy Entry/Exit Seat
This feature provides automatic driver’s seat
positioning to enhance driver mobility when
entering and exiting the vehicle. The distance the driver’s seat moves depends
on where you have the driver’s seat positioned
when you remove the key fob from the ignition.
When you place the ignition in the OFF posi
-
tion, the driver’s seat will move about
2.4 inches (60 mm) rearward if the driver’s seat position is greater than or equal to
2.7 inches (67.7 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.

When you place the ignition in the OFF position,
the driver’s seat will move to a position
0.3 inches (7.7 mm) forward of the rear stop if
the driver’s seat position is between 0.9 inches
and 2.7 inches (22.7 mm and 67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat will return to its previ-
ously set position when you place the ignition to
the ACC or RUN position.

The Easy Entry/Exit feature is disabled when
the driver’s seat position is less than
0.9 inches (22.7 mm) forward of the rear stop.
At this position, there is no benefit to the driver
by moving the seat for Easy Exit or Easy Entry.
When enabled in Uconnect Settings, Easy Entry
and Easy Exit positions are stored in each
memory setting profile Ú
page 32.
NOTE:
The Easy Entry/Exit feature is enabled or
disabled through the programmable features in
the Uconnect system Ú page 228.
HEATED SEATS — IF EQUIPPED
On some models, the front and rear seats may
be equipped with heaters located in the seat
cushions and seat backs.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medica -
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion or other phys -
ical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time.

entry key fob or the memory switch on the
driver’s door trim panel to return the adjust -
able pedals to saved positions Ú page 32.

button is pushed
The Fixed Speed Cruise Control on/off button
is pushed
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
4WD Low is engaged
To Resume
If there is a set speed in memory push the RES

Resume can be used at any speed above
20 mph (32 km/h) when only Fixed Speed
Cruise Control is being used.
Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph
(0 km/h) when ACC is active. NOTE: 

WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used if
traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming
a set speed that is too high or too low for
