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

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 “Enabling
Automatic Recalls” later in this
section. The memory recalls
may be cancelled at any time
during the recall. See “Cancel
Memory Seating Recalls” later

Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the
current driver by their remote
key number 1–8. The current
remote key number may be

This message is displayed the
first few times the vehicle is
turned on when a different
remote key 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 remote key IDs, it
is recommended to only carry
one remote key when entering
the vehicle. Perform the
following if the welcome
message is not displayed:
1. Move all keys and remote keys away from the
vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another remote key. A DIC
welcome message should
display indicating the
driver number of the other
remote key. Turn the

number of the initial
remote key.
