Driving position memory∗
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver's seat, steering
wheel and outside rear view mirrors) can be memorized and recalled with
the touch of a button. It is also possible to set this function to activate auto-
matically when the doors are unlocked.
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory.
On some models, the same buttons are found on the front passenger’s side,
allowing the position of the front passenger’s seat to be memorized.
■Entering a position to memory
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside rear view
mirrors to the desired positions.
Press the “SET” button, then
within 3 seconds press button
“1”, “2” or “3” until the signal
beeps.
If the selected button has
already been preset, the previ-
ously recorded position will be
overwritten.

■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 “ENGINE START STOP” switch to ACCESSORY mode or fastening
the driver’s seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
■Canceling the linked door unlock operation
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode and
close the driver's door.
While pressing the “SET” button, press the driver’s door lock switches
(either lock or unlock) until the signal beeps.
■Operating the driving position memory after turning the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch off
Memorized positions (except for the steering wheel position) can be activated up
to 180 seconds after the driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is
closed again, even after turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
■Stopping seat position operation part-way through
Perform any of the following operations:
●Press the “SET” button.
●Press button “1”, “2” or “3”.
●Adjust the seat using the switches (only cancels seat position recall).
●Adjust the steering wheel using the tilt and telescopic steering control switch
(only cancels steering wheel position recall).
■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 the driver seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function may not
operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
■Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away function
can be changed. (Customizable features →P. 6 2 2 )

memory)
A desired steering position can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. (→P. 8 1 )
