the driver's seat will return to the positions
before being set.
IWhen the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
IWhen the driver's door is closed with the
key turned to ACC or LOCK.
IWhen the key is turned to ON.Procedure for storing memoryTwo positions can be stored in the automaticdrive positioner memory.Follow these proce-
dures to use the memory system.

ver to the P (Park) position.
