2010 ACURA ZDX Owners Manual

Your vehicle has a memory feature
for the steering wheel, driver's seat,
and outside mirror positions.
Seat, except for power lumbar,
steering wheel and outside mirror
positions can be stored in separate
memories. You select a memorized
position by pushing the appropriate
button or using the appropriate
remote transmitter or the keyless
access remote (Driver 1 or Driver 2).Storing a Driving Position in
Memory
Store a driving position only when
the vehicle is parked.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. You cannot add a new
driving position to the memory
unless the ignition switch is in the
ON (II) position. You can recall a
memorized position with the
ignition switch in any position.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine
start/stop button instead of an
ignition switch. ON mode is the
equivalent of ON (II). See page
196 for ignition switch and power
mode comparison. 2. Adjust the seat to a comfortable
position (see page 161).
Adjust the steering wheel to a
comfortable position (see page
145).
Adjust the outside mirrors for best
visibility (see page 178).Driving Position Memory System18009/10/28 17:15:37 10 ACURA ZDX KA KC New North America Own 50 31SZN600 enu
