OperationThe seats can be adjusted for a short period
after unlocking the door with the remote con-
trol without the key in the ignition slot. Seat
adjustment is normally made when the ignition
is on and can always be made when the engine
is running.
NOTE
•Only one of the power seat's controls
can be used at the same time.
•The power seats have an overload pro-
tector that activates if a seat is blocked
by any object. If this occurs, switch off
the ignition (key in position 0) and wait
for a short period before operating the
seat again.

the position of the power driver's seat and door
mirrors in the following way:

tion in which you left them:1. Unlock the driver's door with the same

The driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position in which you left
them.

if someone else has moved it to a dif-
ferent seating position and locked the
vehicle with a different remote control.
•This feature will work in the same way
with all of the remote control transmit-
ters that you use with your vehicle.
