2007 TOYOTA AVALON ignition

This system can memorize the position
of the driver’s seat and outside rear
view mirrors, and recall them at the
touch of a button.
Buttons “1” and “2” can memorize two
separate positions.
SETTING THE DRIVING POSITION
The ignition switch must be set at ON and
the shift lever is in the “P” position.1. Adjust the driver ’s seat and outside rear view mirrors to the desired
position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2” until a beep
is heard.
The system can memorize up to 2 posi-
tions by repeating the above steps. If step
2 is performed when both buttons “1” and
“2” are memorized, the previous position
will be erased and a 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
When you push button “1” or “2”, a
beep will sound and the driving posi-
tion will be automatically adjusted to
the position recorded for that button.
The memorized position can be recalled
under the following conditions:
The ignition switch is set at ON and
the shift lever is in the “P” position
with the brake pedal released.
The key is not in the ignition switch
(vehicles with key cylinder−type ignition
switch) or the ignition is turned off (ve-
hicles with smart key system), and
less than 30 seconds have passed
since opening the driver ’s door. To stop the operation, push any driving
position memory button.
To reactivate the system, push the button
“1” or “2” again.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected,
the memory will be erased and the memo-
rized positions will have to be set again.
CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the
adjustments are being made.
Take care not to select the wrong
button, or the seat could strike the
rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this
happens, you can stop the move-
ment by pressing another driving
position memory switch, or de-
pressing the brake pedal.
When the driver’s door is opened, you
can recall the memorized position using
the wireless remote control function or
the entry function of the smart key sys-
tem.
This function can be used after setting the
driving position by following procedure.
