2013 Ford Expedition EL King Ranch, RWDSECTION Driver Seat Module (DSM) - Memory Seat

The driver power seat, power exterior mirrors, power adjustable pedals and adjustable steering column are controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM) only when the vehicle is equipped with the programmable/recall memory option. The DSM is located under the driver seat. To install a new DSM, refer to Driver Seat Module (DSM)Β . Programmable Module Installation (PMI) must be carried out when installing a new DSM. Refer to GENERAL PROCEDURES .

This system allows automatic positioning of the driver seat, power exterior mirrors, power adjustable pedals and power tilt steering column to 2 programmable positions. The personalized memory seat positions are recalled using memory switch buttons 1 and 2 or with the remote entry transmitter. Memory positions can be stored at any time. A memory recall can be initiated only if the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL and the ignition switch is not in START. A memory recall in progress will not be affected by moving the ignition switch to START or by moving the gear selector lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL. For information on programming memory positions or recalling stored memory position, refer to Memory Position ProgrammingΒ .
