GUID-AC446E91-1F9B-43A2-9329-094E9765C780The automatic drive positioner system has
two features:
.Seat synchronization function
. Memory storage
SPA2659
SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTIONGUID-CC5EAD91-1CB1-41A4-AE89-0E4A71BE361FThe seat synchronization function automa-
tically adjusts the positions of the steering
wheel and outside mirrors when the seat is
adjusted using the power seat switches.
However, the steering wheel and outside
mirrors will not move if the seat is adjusted
over the maximum thresholds. The system
considers that the steering wheel and
outside mirror adjustments are not neces-
sary because the seat may not be adjusted
for the driving position. Note that the
function is set to disabled as the factory
default setting. The seat synchronization function operates
under the following conditions:
.
The ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
. The selector lever is in the P (Park)
position (Automatic Transmission mod-
els) or the parking brake is applied
(Manual Transmission models).
. The seatback is raised.
If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the
function is automatically disabled. Restart
the function by selecting a previously
stored seat memory position using the
memory switches (1 or 2). An Intelligent
Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to
restart the function.
If a seat position was not previously stored
in the seat memory, restart the function by
adjusting the steering wheel and outside
mirrors manually for your best driving
position and then drive the vehicle above
4 MPH (7 km/h).

equipped)

Cancel or activate seat synchroni-
zation function
GUID-8DECD39E-AC7D-4729-ACFB-A937B6048CF2For Automatic Transmission models:
The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
For Manual Transmission models:
The parking brake must be applied with
the ignition switch in the ACC position.
The seat synchronization function can be
activated or canceled by pushing and
holding the SET switch for more than 10
seconds while the ignition switch is in the
ACC position.
The indicator lights on the memory
switches (1 and 2) will blink once when
the function is canceled, and the indicator
lights will blink twice when the function is
activated. Note that the indicator lights
may illuminate after 5 seconds while
holding the SET switch. This indicates
readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to
a stored memory position. Keep the SET
switch pushed for more than 10 seconds to
turn on or off the seat synchronization
function.
MEMORY STORAGEGUID-476C2856-A4A1-4174-8516-4637D097B016Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored
in the automatic drive positioner memory.
