What it is:
The Memory Profile System offers different drivers the ability to set into memory their preferred positions for comfort and convenience. A driver is identified by a unique key fob or entry code, and the vehicle systems automatically adjust to his or her settings. Depending on the vehicle, some of the following features can be included in the memory profile:
Seat position
Steering wheel (tilt/telescope) and pedal position
Mirror positions
Safety belt 'D' ring height
Radio stations
Power steering assist level
Ride firmness
Additionally, the profile can include features desired to be inactive or active, such as automatic door locking.

How it works:
A driver records a personal profile by first adjusting everything in the vehicle the way he or she likes it. Pressing and holding a numbered memory button on the door records the profile onto a computer chip. Additional drivers can set their own preferences. Later, the driver can restore the vehicle to personal preferences by touching the numbered button or with a specific key fob or keyless entry code. Various actuators are required to adjust the settings on the vehicle systems.

Customer benefit:
Improved comfort and convenience.
