{Warning
Never allow children to play with the RKE
transmitter. The transmitter contains a
small battery, which can be a choking
hazard. If swallowed, internal burns can
occur, resulting in severe injury or death.
Seek medical attention immediately if a
battery is swallowed.
{Warning
To avoid personal injury, do not touch
metal surfaces on the RKE transmitter
when it has been exposed to extreme
heat. These surfaces can be hot to the
touch at temperatures above 59 °C
(138 °F).
Caution
When replacing the battery, do not touch
any of the circuitry on the transmitter.
Static from your body could damage the
transmitter.
Caution
Always replace the battery with the
correct type. Replacing the battery with
an incorrect type could potentially create
a risk of battery explosion. Dispose of
used batteries according to instructions
and local laws. Do not attempt to burn,
crush, or cut the used battery, and avoid
exposing the battery to environments
with extremely low air pressures or high
temperatures.
Caution
If the RKE transmitter is not reassembled
properly, liquids could enter the housing
and damage the circuitry, resulting in an
RKE transmitter malfunction and/or
failure. To prevent damage, always follow
the steps for RKE transmitter reassembly
in this manual to ensure the transmitter
is sealed properly whenever the RKE
transmitter is opened.
Replace the battery in the transmitter soon
if the DIC displays REPLACE BATTERY IN
REMOTE KEY.

Memory Seats
Overview
If equipped, the memory seat feature allows
drivers to save their unique driving positions
and a shared exit position. See“Saving
Seating Positions” later in this section. The
saved positions can be recalled manually by
all drivers, see “Manually Recalling Seating
Positions” later in this section, and drivers
with RKE transmitters 1 and 2 can also recall
them automatically. See “Auto Seat Entry
Memory Recall” or“Auto Seat Exit Memory
Recall” later in this section. To enable
automatic recalls, turn on Seat Entry
Memory and/or Seat Exit Memory. See
“Enable Automatic Recalls” under“Vehicle Personalization Settings”
later in this section.
The memory recalls may be cancelled at any
time during the recall. See “Cancel Memory
Seating Recalls” later in this section.
Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the current driver by
their RKE transmitter number 1–8. The
current RKE transmitter number may be
identified by Driver Information Center (DIC)
welcome message, “You are driver x for
memory recalls,” This message is displayed
the first few times the vehicle is turned on
when a different RKE transmitter is used. For
Seat Entry Memory to work properly, save
positions to the 1 or 2 memory button
matching the driver number of this welcome
message. To aid in identifying transmitter
IDs, it is recommended to only carry one
RKE transmitter when entering the vehicle.
Perform the following if the welcome
message is not displayed:
1. Move all keys and RKE transmitters away from the vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another RKE transmitter. A DIC welcome message
should display indicating the driver
number of the other RKE transmitter. Turn the vehicle off and remove the
other key or RKE transmitter from the
vehicle.
3. Start the vehicle with the initial key or RKE transmitter. The DIC welcome
message should display the driver
number of the initial RKE transmitter.
Saving Seating Positions
Read these instructions completely before
saving memory positions.
To save preferred driving positions to
1 and 2: 1. Turn the vehicle on or to ACC/ ACCESSORY. A DIC welcome message
may indicate the driver number of the
current RKE transmitter. See “Identifying
Driver Number” previously in this
section.
2. Adjust all available memory features to the desired driving position.
3. Press and release SET; a beep will sound.
4. Immediately upon releasing SET, press and hold memory button 1 or 2 matching
the current Driver’s RKE transmitter
number until two beeps sound. If too
much time passes between releasing SET
and pressing 1 or 2, the two beeps will

The feature is active only once each time
the vehicle is turned on and off, and will
require reactivation by opening and closingthe rear doors. There may be an alert even
when there is nothing in the rear seat; for

without the vehicle being shut off.
The feature can be turned on or off. See
Vehicle Personalization
0116.
