Driving position memory system (if equipped)
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver’s seat, steering
wheel and outside rear view mirrors) can be entered into the computer’s
memory and recalled with the touch of a bu tton. It is also possible to set this
function to activate automatically when the doors are unlocked. 
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory.
The same buttons are found on the fr ont passenger’s side, allowing the
position of the front passenger’s seat to be memorized.

mode.

the signal beeps.
If the selected button has
already been preset, the previ-
ously recorded position will be
