AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328097
 The system automatically moves the driver seat to facilitate entry/exit to/from the vehicle. The automatic
drive positioner control unit can also store the optimum driving positions (driver seat, steering wheel position
(tilt, telescopic) and door mirror position) for 2 people. If the driver is changes, one-touch operation allows
changing to the other driving position.
 The settings (ON/OFF) of the automatic sliding s eat (Entry/Exiting operation) at entry/exit can be changed
as desired, using the display unit in the center of the instrument panel. The set content is transmitted by
CAN communication, from display contro l unit to driver seat control unit.
 Using CONSULT-III, the seat slide and steering wheel amount at entry/exit setting can be changed.
MANUAL OPERATION
The driving position [seat position, steering wheel posit ion (tilt, telescopic) and door mirror position] can be
adjusted with the power seat switch or ADP steering switch or door mirror remote control switch.
NOTE:
 The seat can be manually operated with the ignition switch OFF.
 The door mirrors can be manually operated with the ignition switch turned ACC or ON.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
NOTE:
 Disconnecting the battery erases the stored memory.
 After connecting the battery, insert the key into the ignition cylinder and turn the driver door switch ON (open) →OFF (close) →ON
(open), the Entry/ Exiting operation becomes possible.

NOTE:
During automatic operation, if the ignition switch is turned ON →START, the automatic operation is suspended. When the ignition switch
returns to ON, it resumes.
MEMORY STORING AND KEYFOB INTERLOCK STORING
 Store the 2 driving positions and shifts to t he stored driving position with the memory switch.
Function Description
Memory switch operation The seat, steering and door mirror move to the stored driving position by pushing
memory switch (1 or 2).
Entry/Exiting function Exiting operation At exit, the seat moves backward and steering wheel moves forward/upward.
