GMC Terrain: Memory Seats / Seat Entry Memory

The vehicle identifies the number of the current driver’s RKE transmitter (1–8). See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation. If the RKE transmitter is 1 or 2, and Seat Entry Memory is programmed on in vehicle personalization, the positions saved to the same memory button number 1 or 2 are automatically recalled when the ignition is turned on, or turned from off to ACC/ACCESSORY. RKE transmitters 3–8 will not provide automatic memory recalls.

To turn Seat Entry Memory on or off, see "Vehicle Personalization Settings" previously in this section and Vehicle Personalization.

The shift lever must be in P (Park) to start Seat Entry Memory. Seat Entry Memory will complete if the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park) prior to reaching the saved memory position.

To stop Seat Entry Memory movement, turn the ignition off or press any of the following controls:

  • Power seat
  • Memory SET, 1, 2, or GMC Terrain. Seat Entry Memory
  • Power mirror, with the driver or passenger side mirror selected
  • Power steering wheel, if equipped

If the saved memory seat position does not automatically recall or recalls to the wrong positions, the driver’s RKE transmitter number (1 or 2) may not match the memory button number that positions were saved to. Try saving the position to the other memory button or try the other RKE transmitter.
