AUTOMATIC SEAT POSITIONER
OPERATION This system is designed so that the driver's
seat will automatically move when the auto-
matic transmission selector lever is in the P
(Park) position or when the parking brake is
applied (manual transmission model). This al-
lows the driver to get in and out of the driver's
seat more easily.
When one of the following conditions is met,
the driver's seat will slide backward. (AT mod-
els only)
O When the key is removed from the ignition
switch.
O When the driver's door is opened with the
key turned to ACC or LOCK.
O When the key is turned from ON to ACC
with the driver's door open.
When one of the following conditions is met,
the driver's seat will return to the positions
before being set. (AT models only)
O When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
O When the driver's door is closed with the
key turned to LOCK.
O When the key is turned from ACC to ON with the driver's door open.
PROCEDURE FOR STORING
MEMORY Two positions can be stored in the automatic
driver's seat positioner memory. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.
1. AT models:
Set the automatic transmission selector
lever to the P (Park) position.
M/T models:
Apply the parking brake securely when the
vehicle is stopped.
2. Turn the ignition ON.
3. Adjust the driver's seat to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjusting

leted.
Confirming memory storage O Turn the ignition ON and push the SET
switch. If the main memory has not been
stored, the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. When the
memory has stored the position, the indica-
tor light will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.
O If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse blows, the memory will be canceled. In
such a case, reset the desired positions
using the following procedures.
1. Open and close the driver's door more than two times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.
2. Reset the desired position using the previ-
ous procedure.
