Seats: Description and Operation
Driver Seat ModuleThe power driver seat and power outside rear view mirrors are controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM) only when the vehicle is equipped with the programmable/recall memory option.
The DSM system consists of the following components:
^ Driver seat module (DSM).
^ Driver memory seat switch. Memory mirror switch.
^ Memory set switch. Front vertical seat motor.
^ Rear vertical seat motor.
^ Driver horizontal memory mirror.
^ LH heated memory mirror.
^ RH heated memory mirror.
^ Remote entry key fob.
The DSM incorporates multiple functions into one module and offers diagnostics to easily locate and repair concerns affecting the subsystems that it controls.
Memory Power Driver Seat Operation
The memory driver seat feature allows the driver to program a personalized seat position that can be recalled using the memory switches or remote entry key fob. There are three memory settings possible. The outside rear view mirror positions are also stored and recalled with the power driver seat positions.
Programming Seat Positions
^ A power driver seat position can be stored at any time. The driver must move the seat to the desired position using the driver seat switch assembly. The driver must then depress the memory SET switch which activates the memory SFT switch Light Emitting Diode (LED). Within five seconds (before the LED goes out), the driver must select a memory position. Memory 1 is selected by depressing memory switch 1. Memory 2 is selected by depressing memory switch 2. Memory 3 is selected by depressing both memory switch I and memory switch 2 simultaneously.
^ If no memory switch input is received within the five second time limit, the operation is aborted and the memory SET switch LED is turned off. If one of the following inputs is received during the five second programming limit, the operation is aborted and the memory SET switch LED is turned off:
- Power driver seat switch.
- Power outside rear view mirror switch.
- Memory SET switch.
- Power adjustable pedal switch.
Recalling a Stored Seat Position
NOTE: A memory recall can be initiated only if the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL gear 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 gearshift lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL.
Once the driver has stored the driver seat position, the driver can recall the setting by depressing the corresponding memory switch or by using a programmed remote entry transmitter.
^ The driver can recall the desired driver seat position by depressing one or both of the memory recall switches. Depressing memory switch 1 will initiate a recall of the power driver seat position stored in memory 1. Depressing memory switch 2 will initiate a recall of the power driver seat position stored in memory 2. Depressing memory switch 1 and memory switch 2 simultaneously will initiate a recall of the power driver seat position stored in memory 3.
^ A remote transmitter can be used to recall previously set memory positions. Transmitters are manufactured with an assigned personality number (1, 2 or 3) and are so designated on the back of the transmitter. The transmitter assigned with personality l is capable of recalling memory position 1 only. Similarly, the personality 2 and 3 transmitters can recall only memory positions 2 and 3 respectively.
^ Memory recall occurs when the UNLOCK switch is depressed on the transmitter. The second depression of the UNLOCK switch, which unlocks passenger doors, does not initiate a memory recall.
^ A memory recall in progress does not prohibit the initiation of another memory recall; the most recently requested memory recall will be executed.
