DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
The micro computer can memorize the position of the driver’s seat,
the height of the shoulder belt anchor of the driver’s seat belt, and the
positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and outside rear view
mirrors. Two different driving position profiles can be entered into
the computer’s memory.
Recording a driving position in the computer’s memory can only be
done when the ignition key is in the ”ON” position and the shift lever
is in the ”P” position.
Setting a driving position
16L055
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, driver’s shoulder belt anchor, tilt and
telescopic steering and outside rear view mirrors to the desired
position.
2. While pushing the ”SET” button, push button ”1” or ”2” until
the signal beeps.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
114The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer ’s memory.
By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining button, the
driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position and
perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and the new
position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position, the
easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then make the
desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Activating a memorized position
16L056
When you push button ”1” or ”2”, the driving position will be
automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that button.Conditions for memorized position activation
Ignition key ”ON” and shift lever in ”P” position.
All parts of the memorized positions can be activated.
However, if the brake pedal is being depressed, the seat position
will not change.
Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening
driver’s door.
The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt and
telescopic steering.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the
memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the operation
will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (”1” or ”2”) again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be operated
while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, the computer’s memory will
be erased and the memorized positions will have to be set again.
CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are being
made.
Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat could
strike the rear passenger or hit your body against the
steering wheel. If this happens, you can stop the movement
by pressing another driving position memory switch, or
depressing the brake pedal.
