A desired driving position can be recalled linked with the unlocking of
the door.
Setting procedure
Record your driving position to button “1”, “2” or “3” before perform-
ing the following:
Carrying only the key (including the card key) to which you want to
link the driving position, shift the shift lever to P and then close the
driver’s door.
If 2 or more keys are in the vehicle, the driving position cannot be
linked properly.
Turn the power switch to ON mode and recall the position which
you want to link.
While pressing the button to
recall the position, press the
driver’s door lock switch
(either lock or unlock) until
the buzzer sounds.
The driving position is recalled
when the driver’s door is
unlocked using the entry function
or wireless remote control and the
driver’s door is opened.

operation.
If 2 or more keys are in the vehicle, the driving position cannot be can-
celed properly.

IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
When driving position memory is linked with door unlock operation
If the driver’s door is opened, the driver’s seat will move toward the memorized
position but stop slightly beforehand to allow easy access to the vehicle.
Turning the power switch to ACCESSORY or ON mode, or fastening the
driver’s seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
Operating the driving position memory after turning the power switch off
Memorized seat positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the driver’s
door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is closed again. Memorized steer-
ing wheel position can be activated by pressing the power switch.
Correct seat position
When the seat is in the most forward or most backward position, and the seat is
being moved in those directions, the system may not correctly recognize the cur-
rent position and the memorized position will not be correctly recalled.
The auto away function for exiting
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function may
not operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
When the driving position is recalled by a memory linked door unlock operation
Since each memorized driving position is registered to a specific electronic key,
the driving position recalled may be different depending on the carried key.
When only doors other than the driver’s door are unlocked by the smart entry &
start system, the driving position will not be recalled. In this case, press a driv-
ing position memory button to recall the desired driving position.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away func-
tion can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 575)
CAUTION
Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear passen-
ger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.
