Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel On vehicles with the memory package, the controls are located on the driver’s door. 1: Saves the seating position for driver 1. 2: Saves the seating position for driver 2. B : Recalls the easy exit position. The numbers on the back of the keyless access transmitters correspond to the numbers on the memory buttons. To save seating positions in the memory: 1.

To recall a memory position: • On vehicles with an automatic transmission, press and release the desired button. If the vehicle is in P (Park), a single beep sounds and the memory position is recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle is not in P (Park), three beeps sound and the memory position is not recalled. • On vehicles with a manual transmission, when the vehicle is on, the parking brake needs to be set to recall the memory position. Press and release the desired button. A single beep sounds and the memory position is recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle is on and the parking brake is not set, three beeps sound and the memory position is not recalled. 1-4 Information Provided by: For vehicles with the Auto Memory Recall, see “Auto Memory Recall” under DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73 for more information. To stop recall movement of the memory feature, press one of the power seat controls, power mirror or memory buttons, or the telescopic steering column switch.

You’d think they’d put stuff like that in the owner’s manual.

3 FOB Memory Programming For C6 Like The C5?

The C5 has 3 FOB memory programming. The 3rd FOB is programmed by holding down Mem1 and Mem2 simultaneously. I have yet to try it on my 2013 C6. Maybe it works too.

Put on a helmet and have the roof off before you try that on a C6. That’s the trigger for the ejection seat.

I can feel it being pumped back up when I start the car and the seat moves into the saved driving position. When the bottom bladder is empty, the seat does feel pretty sunken. So if you’ve got those adjustable supports, I’d be checking to see you can use the buttons to inflate and deflate the seat bottom as a starting point.

I have the lumbar support and side bolsters, but no seat bottom bladder, or seat presets

I think there are other vendors offering similar.

But, if the seat collapse was sudden as described in the first post, that’s not what happens as the wires and sharp edges cut into the foam. That’s a gradual thing. This sounds more like the air bladder not inflating, as I said above.

Much appreciated but I don’t have memory presets. I have lumbar support & side bolster buttons, but nothing on the door for memory.

Memory seats came with the 3LT Option Package. I copied this directly from a 2013 sales brochure. Maybe Chevrolet redefined the option groups from one model year to another. You cannot also rule out that some features from a higher group could be included in a lower group as options priced individually. This is why I appreciate having the window sticker and build sheet.

1LT
6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine, 430 horsepower 6-speed manual transmission with launch control Active Handling System, Traction Control, ABS and cruise control Auto-dimming mirrors and compass Dual power-adjustable heated sport mirrors Xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps, automatic headlamps and foglamps Air bags:1 Frontal and side-impact, driver and front passenger with Passenger Sensing System Dual-zone automatic climate control and cabin air filtration Floor mats OnStar 2 with Directions & Connections Plan for six months Keyless Access with Push-Button Start Leather seating surfaces 6-way power driver and passenger seats Tilt steering wheel with steering wheel-mounted audio controls AM/FM stereo with CD player/MP3 playback, SiriusXM Satellite Radio3 with 3-month trial, seven speakers, automatic volume, Radio Data System (RDS),4 TheftLock and auxiliary audio input jack Tire Pressure Monitoring System and run-flat tires Variable-ratio power steering

Just fyi - if you have the memory option, you can program either fob to either button. The numbers on the back of the fobs are just there to help the owner identify the different fobs.

Thanks,I have a 2LT, but speaking of not moving one option to another option group: I have leather seats, fully adjustable, lumbar support, side, bolsters, etc. no heads up display. (Don’t like it anyway). Kinda strange, no?
