AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
System DescriptionNIS0025R
The system automatically moves the driver seat, steering and door mirror position by the driver seat con-
trol unit and the automatic drive positioner control unit. The driver seat control unit corresponds with the
automatic drive positioner control unit via UART communication. The driver seat control unit can store the
optimum driving positions (driver seat, steering and door mirror position) for 2 people. If the driver
changes, one-touch operation allows changing to the other driving position.
The driver seat, steering and door mirror position are adjusted automatically to the proper positions for the
driver in different ways: MEMORY OPERATION, EXITING OPERATION, ENTRY OPERATION and
INTELLIGENT KEY INTERLOCK OPERATION.
MANUAL OPERATION
The driving position (seat, steering and door mirror position) can be adjusted with the power seat switch, ADP
steering switch and door mirror control switch.
NOTE:
The door mirrors can be manually operated with the ignition switch in either ACC or ON.
MEMORY OPERATION
The driver seat control unit can store the optimum driving positions (seat, steering and door mirror position) for
2 people. If the front seat position is changed, one-touch (pressing desired memory switch for more than 0.5
second) operation allows changing to the other driving position.
Operation procedure
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press desired memory switch for 0.5 second. (Indicator LED illuminates.)
3. Driver seat, steering and door mirror will move to the memorized position.
(Indicator LED blinks during adjustment, then illuminates for 5 seconds.)
Operation Condition
If the following conditions are not satisfied, memory switch operation is not performed.
Ignition switch is in ON position.
Driver side power seat switch, ADP steering switch and door mirror control switch are not operated.
Seat memory switch and set switch are not operated.
Output malfunction is not detected.
CAN and UART communications are normal.
A/T selector lever position is in P position.
Detention switch malfunction is not detected.
[Detention switch malfunction is sensed when detention switch remains OFF, vehicle speed is higher than
7 km/H. (4 MPH).]
Input voltage from tilt sensor and telescopic sensor are normal.
NOTE:
The memory operation operates following order.
Function Description
Manual operationThe driving position (seat, steering and door mirror position) can be adjusted with
the power seat switch ADP steering switch or door mirror control switch.
Auto-
matic
operationMemory operation The seat, steering and door mirror move to the stored driving position by pushing
seat memory switch (1 or 2).
Entry/
Exiting
functionExiting operation At exit, the seat moves backward and the steering wheel moves upward.
Entry operationAt entry, the seat and steering wheel returns from exiting position to the previous
driving position before the exiting operation.
Intelligent Key interlock operationPerform memory operation, exiting operation and entry operation by pressing Intel-
ligent Key unlock button.
