AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: 2007 April2007 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.

INTELLIGENT KEY INTERLOCK OPERATION
When pressing unlock button on Intelligent Key or request switch, the system performs memory operation,
exiting operation and entry operation.
Operation procedure
1. Press unlock button on Intelligent Key or request switch.
2. The system performs MEMORY OPERATION, and then performs EXITING OPERATION continually.
NOTE:
If the seat position is in memorized position before push unlock button, MEMORY OPEPATION dose not per-
form.
3. Turn ignition switch ON or close driver side door when ignition switch is in “ACC” position.
4. The system performs ENTRY OPERATION. (Seat and steering positions are moved to memorized posi-
tions. The memorize position is related to key ID.)
Operation Condition
If the following conditions are not satisfied, memory switch operation is not performed.

Ignition switch is in OFF position.

Driver side power seat 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 position switch malfunction is not detected.
[Detention position switch malfunction is sensed when detention switch remains OFF and vehicle speed is
higher than 7 km/h (4 MPH).]
Linking Intelligent Key to the Stored Memory Procedure
NOTE:

If ignition switch turns ON in the middle of memory operation, the system does not perform exiting opera-
tion after memory operation.

If ignition switch turns ON in the middle of exiting operation, entry operation starts at that time.

If entry / exiting operation is cancelled, perform memory operation only.
FAIL-SAFE MODE
If any of the parts move more than a period “T” without any switch operation, MEMORY OPERATION, EXIT-
ING OPERATION, ENTRY OPERATION, INTELLIGENT KEY INTERLOCK OPERATION and the malfunction
part of manual operations are not operated (output malfunction).
Canceling Fail-safe Mode
The mode is cancelled by either of the following operations.

When the selector lever is shifted to P position from any other position (detention switch is turned OFF).

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
After reconnecting battery cable, perform initialization procedure A or B. If initialization has not been per-
formed, EXITING OPERATION will not operate.
Procedure A
1. Turn ignition switch from ACC to OFF position.
2. Driver door switch is ON (open) → OFF (close) → ON (open).
3. END
Procedure B
1. Drive the vehicle at more than 25 km/h (16 MPH).
2. END
SETTING CHANGE FUNCTION
The settings of the automatic driving positioner system can be changed, using CONSULT-II and the display
unit in the center of the instrument panel.
×: Applicable –: Not applicable
It is possible to set sliding driver seat for entry/exit of vehicle by pressing set switch.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNIS0025S
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitNIS0025T
