The next time a door is opened by a person with the same PCC in his/her possession, the driver's seat will
automatically move to the position that it was in when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying PCCs 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.
