Models:

2013 Cadillac ATS with RPO A45

This bulletin replaces PIC5833. Please discard PIC5833.

Before Service Update Bulletin 12262, the memory
seats were not linked to the key fobs. The vehicle
would automatically save driver seat, outside mirror,
and power tilt and telescoping steering column
positions to the current driver Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter when the ignition is placed in OFF/
LOCK. These automatically stored positions are
referred to as RKE Memory positions.
Example: If the seat was manually moved after a
memory recall, the memory would automatically be
saved for that fob to the different position upon
ignition off.

Instructions
The updated calibration installed during Service Update
Bulletin 12262 will eliminate the "RKE Memory
positions" and will now link memory 1 and 2 to the fobs.
There are no numbers on the key fobs, so the customer
will have to keep track of the fobs to continue proper
operation of both memories.
Example: If the seat was manually moved after a
memory recall, it will not automatically save that
position upon ignition off. The memory will always
recall the previously stored memory position unless a
new position is intentionally saved by the customer.
Fob 1 is the first fob that was programmed to the
vehicle at the vehicle assembly plant; and fob 2 is the
second fob programmed at the vehicle assembly plant.

If at any time the vehicle has new fobs learned to the
vehicle, then the first fob learned will be fob 1, and the
second is fob 2. This solely depends on the order in
which they are learned to the vehicle.
To find out which fob is #1 or #2, set up memory for
number 1 Driver, and number 2 Driver. Enter the vehicle
with one of the fobs. If the memory recall position goes
to #1 position, that fob is number 1 fob. If memory goes
to number 2 position, that fob is number 2 fob.
Please mark the fobs for customer reference.
The vehicle will now recall memory seats for the
appropriate fob at door open, or ignition on, depending
on which you have selected in the CUE personalization
screen.
Note: Please keep in mind that if the Easy Exit Seat is
turned on it is vehicle specific, not driver specific. It will
Easy Exit to the same position set for fob 1 driver and
fob 2 driver. Upon an Easy Exit the mirrors will move to
the memory position that was set previous to setting
Easy Exit position.
Radio presets and HVAC settings are also vehicle
specific and do not follow key fob 1 and key fob 2. They
retain the same settings that were selected at
ignition off.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
