Before
adjusting your seat there are some
important considerations to keep in mind.
• To prevent interference with the seat ad­
justment, never store anything under the
seats.
• The front seats should be adjusted be­
fore fastening the safety belts.
• The position of the driver's seat you find
most comforta ble can be stored in the me­
IT]Ory. See page 81 for details.
�W ARNING
Because the seats can be electri­
cally adjusted with the ignition
key removed, never leave children
unattended in the vehicle. Unsu­
pervised use of the electric seat
adjustments may cause serious in­
iury. Seat

Memor
y for front seats*
Yo u can store and recall 3 difference seat
positions for the driver and front passenger
seats using the memory buttons located in
the front doors. When you store the seat
position for the driver's seat, you can also
set and store the position of the outside mir­
rors and steering column position*.
The system works with the ignition
switched on or off. Memory

The "STOP" button must be depressed in

tings.

Notes
• If you memorize a new setting, the pre­
vious setting on that button will be erased.
• We recommend that you begin with but­
ton 1, and assign each subsequent driver a
particular button. This is especially impor­
tant for optimum utilization of the remote
control.
• If the vehicle battery is disconne cted, all
memorized setting will be erased.

Retrieving using the
memory buttons
• With the passenger's door open, de­
press and release the desired memory but­
ton. The seat will automatically adjust to the
stored position.
• If the door has been closed, you must
then depress and hold the memory button
until the seat has reached its stored posi­
tion.
Note
You can not reca ll the stored seat adjust­
ment for the front passenger's seat using
the remote control in the master key.
84 Emergency
Off
In an emergency, you can interrupt
any retrieval procedure by
• pressing the '"STOP'" button (see il­
lustration on page 81 and 83). or
• tapping one of the memory buttons.
Pushing the"ON/OFF"button to the OFF
position only switches off the Memory. The
stored settings will not be erased.
It's a good idea to turn the Memory off if the
vehicle is going to be used temporarily by a
driver whose driving position will not be
memorized.
The advantage is that the personal settings
that have already been memorized will re­
main intact and will not change each time
the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control. Note
The memory function is switched off when
the STOP button is pressed. The word
''OFF" lights up if the headlights are
switched on. However, the programmed
seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel
positions remain stored in the memory.
