automatically move to the position that it was in when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive remote controls approach the vehicle at the same time, the driver's seat will
assume the position it was in for the person who opens a door first.

switched on, a message will be shown in the information display and an audible signal will sound.
