AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
System DescriptionNIS0025R
The system automatically moves the driver seat, steering and door mirror position by the driver seat con-
trol unit and the automatic drive positioner control unit. The driver seat control unit corresponds with the
automatic drive positioner control unit via UART communication. The driver seat control unit can store the
optimum driving positions (driver seat, steering and door mirror position) for 2 people. If the driver
changes, one-touch operation allows changing to the other driving position.
The driver seat, steering and door mirror position are adjusted automatically to the proper positions for the
driver in different ways: MEMORY OPERATION, EXITING OPERATION, ENTRY OPERATION and
INTELLIGENT KEY INTERLOCK OPERATION.
MANUAL OPERATION
The driving position (seat, steering and door mirror position) can be adjusted with the power seat switch, ADP
steering switch and door mirror control switch.
NOTE:
The door mirrors can be manually operated with the ignition switch in either ACC or ON.
MEMORY OPERATION
The driver seat control unit can store the optimum driving positions (seat, steering and door mirror position) for
2 people. If the front seat position is changed, one-touch (pressing desired memory switch for more than 0.5
second) operation allows changing to the other driving position.
Operation procedure
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press desired memory switch for 0.5 second. (Indicator LED illuminates.)

CAN Communication System DescriptionNIS0025S
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitNIS0025T
