Key FOB recognized but not as "Driver 1". All memory lost.

My 9 year old was playing with the "Driver 1" FOB today. He said he pushed the lock and unlock together (In hopes of figuring out how I open the windows/sunroof remotely).

Now, when I start the car using that FOB, all the settings (radio, nav, clock) go back to the default. Also, the welcome screen no longer says "Welcome Driver 1." It only says, "Welcome."

Any ideas how to reset it to get it back to be recognized as Driver 1 again?

Push lock and unlock together again for a few seconds to relink it. Its says it right on the back of the FOB itself.

Thanks for your quick reply. I have tried it repeatly but it doesn't relink.

Does the car need to be on or off when I do it? I have noticed that the first time I do it, the fob blinks a few times and the next time I try it actually lights a steady light. Not sure which is the one for the relink.

Page 134 of Owners Manual:

When you unlock the door with your
remote, each remote activates the
keyless memory settings related to
that remote. The driver’s ID (Driver
1 or Driver 2) is shown on the back
of each remote.

To turn off this feature, press and
hold the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons at the same time. The LED
in the remote will blink once. Then
release the buttons. Doing this
cancels the keyless memory settings
for that remote and restores the
default settings.
Some of them keeps the same
settings as they were set previously.
To turn the keyless memory settings
back on, repeat this procedure. The
LED will blink twice to indicate the
feature has been turned on.

I got it to work, thanks!

I had to try about 5 times before I got it to work though and am not sure exactly what I did differently the last time that made it work.

Anyway, all is well that ends well.

Thanks again.
