This system can memorize the position
of the driver's seat and outside rear
view mirrors, and recall them at the
touch of a button.
Buttons ª1º and ª2º can memorize two
separate positions.
SETTING THE DRIVING POSITION
The key must be in the ªONº position and
the shift 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 a beep
is heard.
The system can memorize up to 2 posi-
tions by repeating the above steps. If step
2 is performed when both buttons ª1º and
ª2º are memorized, the previous position
will be erased and a 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.
