Seats

Recalling a PreSet Position

Press and release the preset button
associated with your preferred driving
position. The memory features move to the
position stored for that preset.

Note: You can only recall a preset memory
position when the ignition is off, or when the

the vehicle is not moving if the ignition is on.

You can also recall a preset memory position
by:
•

Pressing the unlock button on your
remote control if it is linked to a preset
position.

•

Unlocking the intelligent driver door
handle if a linked remote control is
present.

•

Recalling a personal profile in your SYNC
3 menu.

Note: Using a linked remote control to recall
your memory position when the ignition is
off moves the seat to the Easy Entry position.

Note: Pressing any active memory feature
adjustment control, or any memory button
during a memory recall, cancels the
operation.

Easy Entry and Exit Feature

If you enable the easy entry and exit feature,
it moves the driver seat position rearward up

off.

The driver seat returns to the previous
position when you switch the ignition on.

You can enable or disable this feature
through the touchscreen.  See Settings
(page 488).

Personal Profiles

This feature allows you to create multiple
personal profiles enabling users to
personalize vehicle’s settings. You can
create one profile for each preset memory
seat button along with a guest profile. You
can recall a profile using SYNC 3 or the
preset button you selected when you created
your profile. You can also link a remote
control and a mobile device to your profile,
which are used to recall it.

Creating a Personal Profile

Use the SYNC display to create a personal
profile.

1. Switch the ignition on and leave the

vehicle in park (P).

2. Select the Personal Profiles button under

Linking a Personal Profile to Your Remote
Control or Mobile Device

You can save preset memory positions for
up to three remote controls, by assigning a
remote control to a personal profile in your
SYNC 3. You can assign three additional
remote controls set up as Phone as a Key.
See Keys and Remote Controls (page 64).

Use the SYNC display to link a remote
control, mobile device or both to a personal
profile.

1. Switch the ignition on and leave the

vehicle in park (P).

2. Select the Personal Profiles button under

Settings.

3. Touch the arrow for the profile you wish

to link to a remote control or mobile
device.

4. Select the correct button to link a remote

control, mobile device, or both.

5. Follow the instructions on the display.

Note: To successfully link a mobile device,
the mobile device must be present in your
vehicle, and must have previously been
setup as a remote control for your vehicle.

Note: If more than one linked remote control
is in range, the memory function moves to
the settings of the first key to initiate a
memory recall.

Note: The guest profile consists of existing
settings when there is no driver profile
created. After you create a driver profile, the
guest profile serves as an additional driver
profile.

Note: You cannot link a personalized name,
a memory seat button or a remote control
to a guest profile.

Personal Settings

Personal Profiles allow you to personalize
positional settings such as seats and mirrors,
as well as non-positional settings such as
radio, navigation, driver assist and system
settings.  See SYNC™ 3 (page 446).  You
cannot change the menu locations and
settings of those personalized features with
Personal Profiles.

Note: Non-positional settings are saved to
the active driver profile whenever you
change a setting.

Note: You can save positional settings if you
press and hold a memory seat button.

Recalling and Changing a Profile

You can recall a profile by:
•

Using a remote control or mobile device
that has been linked to a driver profile to
access the remote start feature, press an
unlock button or open the door with the
exterior door handle.

•

Pressing a memory seat button that has
been linked to a driver profile.

•

Using the Personal Profiles menu on the
SYNC touchscreen.

Note: The recalled profile replaces the
previously active profile. If the active profile
is not your preferred profile, you can change
it using any of the three methods listed.

recalls positional settings from the driver
profile which the remote control or
mobile device had been linked to.

not been saved to a preset setting recalls
non-positional settings from the guest
