with the same PCC in his/her possession,
the driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position that they
were in when the door was most recently
locked.

tions they were in for the person who opens
the driver's door.
See also page 85 for information on adjusting
and storing the seat's position in the seat mem-
ory.
