DSM - Memory Seat 

The driver power seat is controlled by the DSM only when the vehicle is equipped with the programmable/recall memory option. The DSM is located under the driver seat. PMI must be carried out when installing a new DSM. Refer to Module Configuration .

This system allows automatic positioning of the driver seat 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 with the ignition ON (when the gear selector is in PARK or NEUTRAL) or anytime the ignition is OFF (regardless of gear selector position). For information on programming memory positions or recalling stored memory position, refer to Memory Position Programming .

The memory seat system includes the following serviceable components:

• DSM attached to the seat track
• Memory SET switch attached to the cushion side shield
• Seat control switch attached to the cushion side shield
• Memory seat track assembly (with seat position sensors integral to motors)
  • Horizontal motor (part of seat track)
  • Front height motor (part of seat track)
  • Rear height motor (part of seat track)
• Backrest power recliner motor (with integral position sensor) (part of backrest frame)

Easy Entry/Exit 

The easy entry/exit feature is a function of the DSM and can be enabled/disabled in the message center. Refer to the Owner's Literature or Instrumentation, Message Center, and Warning Chimes for information on the message center.

Climate Controlled Seats 

The climate control seat system is able to heat and cool the front seats. Each climate controlled seat is operated by buttons on the FCIM or touchscreen. Each front seat temperature is then monitored and controlled by the Front Seat Climate Control Module (SCME) located on the passenger front seat track.

The front seat cushions are equipped with a plenum (duct) attached to the cushion frame suspension wires (serviced with the cushion frame). Conditioned air from the cushion TED and blower assembly is routed through a plenum and into the manifold fitted within the cushion foam pad (serviced with the cushion foam pad). The front seat backrest TED and blower assembly operates similarly by routing conditioned air directly through the backrest manifold (serviced with the backrest foam pad).

The climate controlled seat system includes the following serviceable components:

• Touchscreen
• FCIM
• Front Seat Climate Control Module (SCME) attached to the passenger seat track
• TED and blower assemblies attached to the backrest and cushion frames of each front seat
• Air filter attached to each TED and blower assembly (See the Owner's Literature for additional service and scheduled maintenance interval information)
• Seat cushion and backrest foam pads equipped with manifolds (foam air ducts)
• Ventilated seat cushion and backrest covers
