DRIVING POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM
The micro computer can memorize the position of the
driver's seat. 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 ºONº
position and the selector lever is in the ºPº position.

1. Adjust the driver's seat to the desired position.
2. While
pushing the ºSETº button, push button º1º
or º2º until the signal beeps.
The 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.
