Ford Escape: Memory Function

How Does the Memory Function Work

The memory function recalls the position of these features:

• Driver seat.
• Power mirrors.

Memory Function Precautions

WARNING: Before activating the memory seat, make sure that the area immediately surrounding the seat is clear of obstructions and that all occupants are clear of moving parts.

WARNING: Do not use the memory function when your vehicle is moving.

Locating the Memory Function Buttons

The memory function buttons are on the driver door.

Saving a Preset Position

1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Adjust the memory features to your preferred position.
3. Press and hold the preferred preset button until you hear a single tone.

A confirmation message appears in the information display.

You can save up to three preset memory positions at any time.

Recalling a Preset Position

Press and release the preset button.

Note: You can only recall a preset memory position when the ignition is off, or when you place the transmission in park (P) or neutral (N) if the ignition is on and the vehicle is not moving.

You can also recall a preset memory position by:

• Pressing the unlock button on your remote control if you linked it to a preset position.
• Unlocking the intelligent driver door handle if a linked remote control is present.

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 preset buttons during a memory recall cancels the operation.

Linking a Preset Position to your Remote Control or Passive Key

Your vehicle can save the preset memory positions for up to three remote controls or passive keys.

1. With the ignition on, move the memory features to the position you prefer.
2. Press and hold a preset button for five seconds. A tone sounds after two seconds. Continue holding until you hear a second tone.
3. Within three seconds, press the lock button on the remote control you are linking.

To unlink a remote control, follow the same procedure – except in Step 3, press the unlock button on the remote control.

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