M e m o r i s a t i o n o f d r i v i n g positions
You have the possibility to memorise two driving positions, via the buttons M / 1 and M / 2.

To memorise, using the buttons lo-cated on the side of the seat:
- turn the ignition key to the drive position,
- adjust your seat and your exterior rear view mirrors,
- press on button M then immediately on button 1 " fi r s t d r i v i n g p o s i t i o n " or on button 2 "second driving position".
