Cancelation procedure
Carry only the key you want to cancel and then close the driver’s
door.
If 2 or more keys are in the vehicle, the driving position cannot be
canceled properly.

Turn the power switch to ON mode.
While pressing the “SET” button, press and hold the door lock
switch (either lock or unlock) until the buzzer sounds twice.
If the button could not be canceled, the buzzer sounds continuously for
approximately 3 seconds.
■Recalling the driving position us ing the memory recall function
● Different driving positions can be registered for each electronic key. There-
fore, the driving position that is recalled may be different depending on the
key being carried.
● If a door other than the driver’s door is unlocked with the smart key system,
the driving position cannot be recalled. In this case, press the driving posi-
tion button which has been set.

nates.
The function will set to ON mode each time the power switch is turned to
ON mode.
Pressing the button turns the function to OFF mode. (The indicator also
turns off.)

erly, do not touch or cover them.

resulting in death or serious injury.
