wheel and outside rear view mirrors) can be entered into the computer's
memory and recalled with the touch of a button.
Two different driving positions can be entered into memory.
■Entering a position to memory
Check that the shift lever is set in “P”.
Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
Adjust the driver’s seat, steeri ng wheel, and outside rear view
mirrors to the desired positions.
While pushing the “SET” button,
push button “1” or “2” until the
signal beeps.

ously recorded position will be
overwritten.
