ignition switch is ON (II). You canrecall a memorized position with
the ignition switch in any position.
2. Adjust the seat to a comfortable position (see page 94). Adjust
the steering wheel to acomfortable position (see page
71).
Adjust the outside mirrors for best visibility (see page 99). 3. Press and release the MEMO
button on the control panel. You
will hear a beep. Immediately press and hold one of the memory

other memory button.
All stored driving positions will be lost if your car's battery goes dead or
is disconnected.
Selecting a Memorized Position
You can select memorized positions as follows.
1. Make sure the parking brake is set and the shift lever is in Park.
2. Insert the key in the ignition switch. If you do not insert the key
in the ignition switch, the steering
wheel will not adjust to the memorized position until you do. 3. Press the desired memory button
(1 or 2) until you hear a beep, then
release the button.
The system will move the seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors
