Key in Recall Memory

If your vehicle has the optional memory package, you
will have this feature. When this feature is turned on, you
can recall any previously programmed seat and mirror
positions when the key is inserted into the ignition.

Programmable Modes

Mode 1: ON

Mode 2: OFF

Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was
programmed to Mode 2. The mode to which the
vehicle was programmed may have been changed since
it left the factory. To program the vehicle to a different
mode, use one of the following procedures:

To change the mode using the Base audio system,
do the following:

1. Enter the personalization portion of the SETUP

menu following the instructions listed previously.

2. Scroll to KEY IN RECALL MEMORY to highlight it.

3. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to switch back and forth

between on and off.

When the mode is turned on, a check mark will
appear next to the feature name.

To change the mode using the Navigation system,
do the following:

1. Enter the Personalization menu by following the

instructions listed previously.

2. Scroll to KEY IN RECALL MEMORY and press the

ON or OFF button next to it as desired. If the item
is turned on the color of the ON button will be
light blue. If the item is turned off the color of the
OFF button will be light blue.

If KEY IN RECALL MEMORY is turned on, this will
also turn off REMOTE RECALL MEMORY if it is
not already turned off.

The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit
the programming mode by following the instructions
later in this section or program the next feature available
on your vehicle.
