fied.
Seat memory indicator Memory indicator indicates the status of auto driving position sys-
tem by turning ON or blinking.
Power seat switch Sliding switch
Sliding switch is equipped to power seat switch on seat cushion
side surface.
The operation signal is input to driver seat control unit when slid- ing switch is operated.
Reclining switch The operation signal is input to driver seat control unit when re-
clining switch is operated.
The operation signal is input to driver seat control unit when re-
clining switch is operated.
Lifting switch (front) Lifting switch (front) is equipped to power seat switch on seat
cushion side surface.
The operation signal is input to driver seat control unit when lift-
ing switch (front) is operated.
Lifting switch (rear) Lifting switch (rear) is equipped to power seat switch on seat
cushion side surface.

Door mirror (driver side/
passenger side) Door mirror motor
It makes mirror face operate from side to side and up and down
with the electric power that automatic drive positioner control unit
supplies.
Mirror sensor Mirror sensor is inst
alled to door mirror.
The resistance of 2 sensors (horizontal and vertical) is changed when door mirror is operated.
Automatic drive positioner control unit calculates door mirror po- sition according to the change of the voltage of 2 sensor input
terminals.
Tilt motor Tilt motor
Tilt motor is installed to steering column assembly.
Tilt motor is activated with automatic drive positioner control unit.
Steering column is tilted upward/downward by changing the ro-
tation direction of tilt motor.
Tilt sensor Tilt sensor is integrated in tilt motor.
The resistance of tilt sensor is changed according to the up/
down position of steering column.
The terminal voltage of automatic drive positioner control unit
will be changed according to a change of tilt sensor resistance.
Automatic drive positioner control unit calculates the tilt position from the voltage.
Telescopic motor Te l e s c o p i c m o t o r
Telescopic motor is installed to steering column assembly.
Telescopic motor is activated with automatic drive positioner
control unit.
Compresses steering column by changing the rotation direction
of telescopic motor.
Telescopic sensor Telescopic sensor is integrated in telescopic motor.
The resistance of telescopic sensor is changed according to the
forward/backward position of steering column.
The terminal voltage of automatic drive positioner control unit will be changed according to a change of telescopic sensor re-
sistance.
Automatic drive positioner control unit calculates the telescopic position from the voltage.
Sliding motor Sliding motor
Seat sliding motor is installed to the seat cushion frame.
Seat sliding motor is activated with driver seat control unit.
Slides the seat frontward/ rearward by changing the rotation di-
rection of sliding motor.
Sliding sensor Sliding sensor is integrated in sliding motor.
The pulse signal is input to driver seat control unit when sliding
is performed.
Driver seat control unit counts the pulse and calculates the slid- ing amount of the seat.
Reclining motor Reclining motor
Seat reclining motor is installed to seat back frame.
Seat reclining motor is activated with driver seat control unit.
Seatback is reclined frontward/rearward by changing the rota-
tion direction of reclining motor.
Reclining sensor Reclining sensor is integrated in reclining motor.
The pulse signal is input to driver seat control unit when the re-
clining is operated.
Driver seat control unit counts the pulse and calculates the re- clining amount of the seat.
Lifting motor (front) Lifting motor (front)
Lifting motor (front) is installed to seat side cushion frame.
Lifting motor is activated with driver seat control unit.
Seat lifter (front) is moved upward/downward by changing the
rotation direction of lifting motor (front).
Lifting sensor (front) Lifting sensor (front) is inst
alled in lifting motor (rear).
When lifting motor (rear) operates, pulse signal is transmitted to driver seat control unit from lifting sensor. Driver seat control unit
counts the pulse and calculates the lift position (rear) of the seat.
