DRIVING POSITION MEMORYSYSTEM

Recording a driving position in the computer's memory
can only be done when the ignition key is in the ªONº
position and the selector lever is in the ªPº position.

1. Adjust the driver's seat and outside rear view
mirrors to the desired position.
2. While
pushing the ªSETº button, push button ª1º
or ª2º until the signal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions are recorded
in the computer's memory. By repeating these two steps and pressing the
remaining button, the driving position for another driver
can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired
position and perform step 2. The previous memory will
be erased and the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized
position, the easiest way is to first activate the
memorized position, then make the desired changes
and perform step 2 above.
