CAUTION
When using the lower anchorages for the child
restraint system, be sure that there are no irregular
objects around the anchorages or that the seat belt is
not caught.
 Push and pull the child restraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
 Do not install a child restraint system on the rear seat
if it interferes with the lock mechanism of the front
seats. This can cause death or severe injury to the
child and front passenger in case of sudden braking
or a collision.
DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
The microcomputer can memorize the positions of the driver's
seat. Two different driving position profiles can be entered into
the computer's memory.
Automatic transmission: 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 posi\
tion.
Manual transmission: Recording a driving position in the
computer's memory can only be done when the ignition key is
in the ºONº position and the parking brake is applied.

Setting the driving position
SV16170
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.
Recalling the memorized position
SV16171
Automatic transmissionÐ
When you push button º1º or º2º, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for
that button.
Manual transmissionÐ
While button º1º or º2º is being pushed down, the driving
position will be automatically adjusted to the position
recorded for that button.
Conditions for memorized position activation
 Automatic transmission: Ignition key ºONº and selector
lever in ºPº position.
 Manual transmission: Ignition key ºONº and apply the
parking brake.
 Ignition switch off and within 30 seconds of opening driver's
door.
