can be activated within 30 seconds after the driver’s door is opened, even if

■ If any position memory button is pushed while the adjustments are
being made
The operation will stop. To reactivate the system, push the button (“1” or “2”)
again.
■ If the battery is disconnected
The memorized positions must be reset because the computer’s memory is
erased when the battery is disconnected.

Take care during seat adjustment that the seat does not strike the rear pas-
senger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.
If this happens, you can stop the movement by pressing another seat posi-
