If the memory seat feature appears inoperative, check the Driver Information Center (DIC).

Many of the memory seat modules that were returned through the Warranty Parts Center for a condition of inoperative have shown No Trouble Found. The Driver Information Center (DIC), programmed for Seat Entry and Exit, is set to the default "Off" mode at the assembly plant.

DO NOT REPLACE THE MEMORY SEAT MODULE.

Perform the following procedure.

Important: The following procedure will need to be completed for each Remote/Key selection.

Using the DIC menu, do the following steps:

  1. Set the "Seat Recall" to either "At Key In" or "On Remote" based on the customer's preference.
  2. Set the "Exit Seat" to "On".
