WARNING

Never operate the Integrated Memory System while your Kia Telluride is moving.

Unexpected seat, steering wheel, or mirror movement could distract the driver, reduce vehicle control, and increase the risk of a collision that could result in serious injury, death, or property damage.

NOTE

  • If the vehicle battery is disconnected or completely discharged, all stored memory positions will be erased and must be programmed again.

  • If the Integrated Memory System does not operate as expected, have your Kia Telluride inspected by an authorized Kia dealer to ensure proper system operation.

Storing memory positions

  1. Shift the transmission into P (Park) while the ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ON position.
  2. Adjust the driver's seat, outside rearview mirrors, steering wheel, and Head-Up Display to your preferred driving positions before saving them.
  3. Press and hold the desired memory button (1 or 2). A confirmation chime will sound, and the infotainment display will show the message, "Driver 1 (or 2) settings saved." Your customized Kia Telluride driving profile is now stored for future use.

Recalling memory positions

  1. Place the transmission in P (Park) with the ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position.
  2. Press the previously programmed memory button (1 or 2). After a confirmation chime, the driver's seat, outside mirrors, steering wheel, and Head-Up Display will automatically move to the stored positions.

    The infotainment system will display "Driver 1 (or 2) settings applied."

Seat easy access

The Seat Easy Access feature automatically adjusts the driver's seat and steering wheel to make entering and exiting your Kia Telluride more comfortable.

Exiting the vehicle

Entering the vehicle:

The driver's seat automatically returns to its memorized driving position when the ENGINE START/STOP button is switched to the ACC, ON, or START position, or when the driver's door is closed while carrying the Smart Key with the ENGINE START/STOP button in the OFF position.

The Seat Easy Access feature can be customized through the infotainment system.

Resetting the system

If the Integrated Memory System in your Kia Telluride does not operate correctly, perform the following reset procedure.

Resetting the integrated memory system

  1. Stop the vehicle, shift into P (Park), switch the ENGINE START/STOP button to the ON position, and open the driver's door.
  2. Move both the driver's seat cushion and seatback to their forward-most positions.
  3. Press and hold Memory Button 1 (or 2) while simultaneously pushing the driver's seat adjustment switch forward for more than two seconds.

While resetting the integrated memory system

  1. A notification chime confirms that the reset process has started.

  2. The driver's seat and seatback automatically move to the fully rearward position while another notification chime sounds.

  3. The seat then automatically returns to its factory default (center) position with an additional notification sound.

    The reset process will stop if any of the following occurs:

    • A memory button is pressed.

    • The driver's seat adjustment switch is operated.

    • The transmission is shifted out of P (Park).

    • Vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).

    • The driver's door is closed.

    TIP

    • If the reset procedure stops before it finishes, simply repeat the entire process from the beginning.

    • Before starting the reset, ensure there are no objects around or behind the driver's seat that could interfere with seat movement.

    • After completing the reset, store your preferred driver's seat settings again before attempting to recall them with the memory buttons.

Reverse parking aid function: (if equipped)

When the transmission is shifted into the R (Reverse) position, the outside rearview mirrors can automatically tilt downward to provide a clearer view of the area near the vehicle, making reverse parking in your Kia Telluride more convenient and precise...
