the desired positions.
While pressing the “SET”
button, or within 3 seconds
after the “SET” button is
pressed, press button 1, 2 or 3

(driver’s seat only)
Record your driving position to button 1, 2 or 3 before performing
the following:
Carry only the key (including the card key) to which you want to
link the driving position. If 2 or more keys are in the vehicle, the

switches (either lock or unlock)
until the signal beeps.
The driving position is recalled
when the driver’s door is
unlocked using the entry func-
tion or wireless remote control
and the driver’s door is opened.
To prevent unintended triggering of the alarm, open and close a
door once after a driving position has been recorded. (If a door is
not opened within 30 seconds after door lock switch is pressed, the
doors will be locked again and the alarm will automatically be set.)
In case that the alarm is triggered, immediately stop the alarm.
