If your vehicle has the memory feature, you can program and recall memory settings for the driver's seating and outside rearview mirror driving positions for up to two drivers.


Object Number: 829236  Size: A2

The buttons for this feature are located on the driver's door armrest.

Use the following steps to program the buttons:

  1. Adjust the driver's seat including the seatback recliner and both outside mirrors.
  2. Press and hold button 1 for at least three seconds.
  3. Two beeps will sound to confirm that the seat and mirror positions have been saved.

  4. Repeat the procedure for a second driver using button 2.

If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall the stored driving positions. If your vehicle has a manual transmission and the engine is running, the parking brake must be set to recall the memory seat driving positions. The stored driving positions can be recalled without setting the parking brake if the vehicle is off.

Press one of the numbered memory buttons to recall the stored setting. Each time a memory button is pressed, a single beep will sound.

Three chimes will sound and the setting will not be recalled if you press button 1 or 2 when the vehicle is not in PARK (P) on an automatic transmission or the parking brake is not set on a manual transmission.

If you would like the stored driving positions to be recalled when unlocking your vehicle with the remote keyless entry transmitter or when you place the key in the ignition, see DIC Vehicle Personalization .

To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any time, press one of the power seat or mirror controls.

Two personalized exit positions can also be programmed. Use the following steps to program exit positions:

  1. Press memory seat button 1 or the button with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter with the number 1 on the back to recall the driving position.
  2. Adjust the driver's seat to the desired exit position.
  3. Press and hold the exit button located above buttons 1 and 2 on the driver's door armrest for at least three seconds.
  4. Two beeps will sound to confirm that the exit position has been saved.

  5. Repeat the procedure for a second driver using memory seat button 2 or the remote keyless entry transmitter with the number 2 on the back.

To recall the stored exit positions, press and release the exit button. One beep will sound, and the seat will move to the previously stored exit position for the currently identified driver. If an exit position has not been stored for this driver, the seat will move all the way back. The position of the outside mirrors is not stored or recalled for the exit position.

If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall the exit positions. For a manual transmission, the parking brake must be set to recall the stored exit positions.

Three chimes will sound and the exit setting will not be recalled if you press the exit button when the vehicle is not in PARK (P) on an automatic transmission or the parking brake is not set on a manual transmission.

If you would like your stored exit position to be recalled when unlocking the vehicle with the remote keyless entry transmitter or when the ignition is turned off and the driver's door is opened, see DIC Vehicle Personalization .
