Driving position memory system (if equipped)
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver’s seat, steering 
wheel and outside rear view mirrors)  can be entered into the computer’s 
memory and recalled with the touch of a bu tton. It is also possible to set this 
function to activate automatically when the doors are unlocked. 
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory. 
The same buttons are found on the fr ont passenger’s side, allowing the 
position of the front passenger’s seat to be memorized.
■ Entering a position to memory
Check that the shift lever is set in “P”.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP ” switch to IGNITION ON 
mode. 
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering  wheel, and outside rear view 
mirrors to the desired positions. 
While pushing the “SET” button, 
push button “1”, “2” or “3” until 
the signal beeps. 
If the selected button has 
already been preset, the previ-
ously recorded position will be 
overwritten.
