will be stored in the seat's memory.
•The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same remote key in his/her pos-
session, 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 keyless drive
remote keys 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.
Keyless drive information messagesIf anyone leaves the vehicle with the only key-
less drive remote key in his or her possession
while the ignition is switched on, a message will
be shown in the information display and an
audible signal will sound.

and the audible signal will stop when the
remote key has been returned to the vehicle
and one of the following has occurred:
•A door has been opened and closed
•The start control has been turned to posi-
tion 0
