DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
A microcomputer will memorize the position of the driver’s
seat, and the positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and
outside rear view mirrors. Two dif ferent driving position profiles
can be entered into the computer’s memory.
Recording the driving position in the computer’s memory can
only be done when the ignition key is in the “ON” position and
the selector lever is in the “P” position.
Setting the driving position
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic steering and
outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2”
until the signal beeps.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
172The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer’s memory.
By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining
button,
the driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position,
the easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Recalling the memorized position
When you push button “1” or “2”, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button. Conditions for memorized position activation

Ignition key “ON” and selector lever in “P” position.
All parts of the memorized positions can be activated.
 Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening
driver’s door.
The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt
and telescopic steering.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the
memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (“1” or “2”)\
again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be
operated while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, the computer’s
memory will be erased and the memorized positions will have
to be set again.
CAUTION
 Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are
being made.
 Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat
could strike the rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this happens, you can
stop the movement by pressing another driving
position memory switch.
