●When the auto return function is on, a buzzer will sound intermittently while the
switch-operated “Front, Fold & Return” seat is in motion.
●If any seat adjustment switch or driving position memory switch is operated
after the seat is moved to the forward and fold position using the “Front, Fold &
Return” seat switch, the seat cannot be returned using the “Front, Fold & Return”
seat switch. Use a switch other than the “Front, Fold & Return” seat switch to
return the seat.
●The switch-operated “Front, Fold & Return” seat cannot operate when:
• A person or item of luggage is on th e seat or the seat belt is fastened.
• The vehicle is moving.
●Operation of the Switch-operated “Front, Fold & Return” Seat will stop if:
• The “Front, Fold & Return” seat switch is pressed again.
• Any seat adjustment swit ch or driving position memory switch is pressed.
• A person enters the seat or an item of luggage is put on the seat (during for- ward movement only).
• The vehicle starts off.
• The seat belt is fastened (during forward movement only).
