their unique driving positions
and a shared exit position. See

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 remote key

automatically. See “Auto Seat
Entry Memory Recall” or“Auto Seat Exit Memory Recall”

automatic recalls, turn on Seat
Entry Memory and/or Seat

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

felt, the seat heater may
cause burns. To reduce the
risk of burns, use care when
using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of
time. Do not place anything
on the seat that insulates
against heat, such as a
blanket, cushion, cover,
or similar item. This may
cause the seat heater to
overheat. An overheated
seat heater may cause a
burn or may damage
the seat.

have another person assist
with the programming
process.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future
programming. Erase the
programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing Universal Remote
System Buttons”
later in this
section.
