NOTE: For additional information about power seats, see POWER SEATS article. For additional information about power mirrors, see POWER MIRRORS article.

The memory system includes driver's memory seat and mirrors that can be set in 2 preset positions when gearshift is in Park. The memory seat/mirror module controls movement of 3 driver's seat position motors, 2 left mirror motors and 2 right mirror motors. Seatback recline is not part of memory functions, but manual movements are controlled by memory seat/mirror module. All motors have a position sensor, and work independently of each other. When DRIVER-1 and DRIVER-2 buttons are pushed simultaneously when ignition is off, seat will move fully down and back to allow for easy exit.
