Driving position memory system
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 button. 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 front passenger’s side, allowing the
position of the front passen ger’s seat to be memorized.
■Entering a position to memory
Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode.
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside rear view
mirrors to the desired positions.
While pushing the “SET” but-
ton, or within 3 seconds after
the “SET” button is pushed,
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.
