Seats and Restraints 39
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

position. You can move the height adjuster
up by pushing up on the shoulder belt
guide.
After the adjuster is set to the desired
position, try to move it down without
pushing the release button to make sure it
has locked into position.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for
front outboard occupants. Although the seat
belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they are
part of the seat belt assembly. They can
help tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner activation are
met. Seat belt pretensioners can also help
tighten the seat belts in a side crash or a
rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash, the
pretensioners and probably other parts of
the vehicle’s seat belt system will need to
be replaced. SeeReplacing Seat Belt System
Parts after a Crash 051. Do not sit on the outboard seat belt while
entering or exiting the vehicle or at any
time while sitting in the seat. Sitting on the
seat belt can damage the webbing and
hardware.
Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides
Rear seat belt comfort guides may provide
added seat belt comfort for older children
who have outgrown booster seats and for
some adults. When installed on a shoulder
belt, the comfort guide positions the
shoulder belt away from the neck and head.
Comfort guides are available through your
dealer for the rear outboard seating
positions. Instructions are included with the
guides.
Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy
Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, they
are more likely to be seriously injured if
they do not wear seat belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should
be worn as low as possible, below the
rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When a seat belt is
worn properly, it is more likely that the
fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to
making seat belts effective is wearing them
properly.
Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten around
you, you should use it.

90 Instruments and Controls
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle has
wireless charging in the storage bin at the
front of the floor console . The system
operates at 145 kHz and wirelessly charges
one Qi compatible smartphone. The power
output of the system is capable of charging
at a rate up to 3 amp (15 W), as requested
by the compatible smartphone. SeeRadio
Frequency Statement 0353.
{Warning
Wireless charging may affect the
operation of an implanted pacemaker or
other medical devices. If you have one, it
is recommended to consult with your
doctor before using the wireless charging
system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/ACCESSORY,
or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) must be
active. The wireless charging feature may
not correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP, during a Bluetooth phone
call, or when phone projection (e.g. Apple
CarPlay / Android Auto) is active. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) 0206. The operating temperature is
−40 °C (−40 °F)
to 85 °C (185 °F) for the charging system and
0 °C (32 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
A charging stopped alert may be displayed
on the infotainment screen, if the wireless
charger or smartphone are outside of
normal operating temperature. Charging will
automatically resume when a normal
operating temperature is reached.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the charger
before charging your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charger may become
very hot.
On the rare occasion that the charging
system does not detect an object, and
the object gets wedged between the
smartphone and charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object to cool
before removing it from the charger, to
prevent burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:
1. Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless charging.
2. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may not charge if there
are any objects between the smartphone
and charger.
3. Place the smartphone face up against the rear of the charger.
To maximize the charge rate, ensure the
smartphone is fully seated and centered
in the holder with nothing under it.
