How To: Program Memory Seats on GMC, Chevrolet, Buick [Video]

Where are the GMC memory seat buttons?

On the driver’s side door panel of your GMC, Chevrolet, Buick or Cadillac, you’ll notice a set of buttons that say SET, 1,2, followed by an image of an open door. Of course, these might vary slightly depending on the year and trim level of your vehicle. The process to program the seats, however, is similar. These features can be turned on or off using the vehicle personalization menu. When you find the perfect settings, then program the memory seats, they can automatically go back to your favorite settings.

Some GMC’s, Chevrolet’s, Buick’s and Cadillac’s are fitted with an electronic memory adjustable steering wheel, mirrors, and pedals. Whilst setting the memory for your seats, these features memory settings will also be saved. Memory settings can be attached to specific keys. For example, Driver 1 would keep one key and his settings would be saved for that key. Driver 2 takes the other key and the memories can be attached to that key and the 2nd driver settings.
