Driving position memory (driver’s seat)∗∗
: If equipped
Your preferred driving position (the po sition of the driver’s seat, steering
wheel and outside rear view mirrors) can be memorized and recalled with
the touch of a button. It is also possible to set this function to activate auto-
matically when the doors are unlocked.
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory.

Check that the shift position is in P.
Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode.
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside rear view
mirrors to the desired positions.
While pressing and holding the
“SET” button, or within 3 sec-
onds of pressing the “SET” but-
ton, press button 1, 2 or 3 until
the signal beeps.
If the selected button has
already been preset, the previ-
ously recorded position will be
overwritten.
■Recalling the memorized position

Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode.

Linking driving position memory with door unlock operation
Record your driving position to button 1, 2 or 3 before performing the fol-
lowing:
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 driving position
cannot be linked properly.
Shift the shift position to P and close the driver’s door. Turn the
“POWER” switch to ON mode. Press the desired button (1, 2 or 3)
to recall the position. Then, while
keep pressing the button, press the
driver’s door lock switches (either
lock or unlock) until the signal
beeps.
The driving position is recalled
when the driver’s door is unlocked
using the entry function or wireless
remote control and the driver ’s
door is opened.

■Operating the driving position memory after turning the “POWER” switch off
Memorized positions (except for the steering wheel position) can be activated up
to 180 seconds after the driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is
closed again, even after turning the “POWER” switch off.
■Canceling the linked door unlock operation
Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode and close the driver’s door.
While pressing the “SET” button, press the driver’s door lock switches
(either lock or unlock) until the signal beeps.
■Stopping seat position operation part-way through
Perform any of the following operations:
●Press the “SET” button.
●Press button 1, 2 or 3.
●Adjust the seat using the switches (only cancels seat position recall).
●Adjust the steering wheel using the tilt and telescopic steering control switch
(only cancels steering wheel position recall).
■Correct seat position
When the seat is in the most forward or most backward position, and the seat is
being moved in those directions, the system may not correctly recognize the cur-
rent position and the memorized position will not be correctly recalled.
■Customization
If a seat position is memorized, the driver seat will move back the set distance
(→ P. 584) from that memorized position.
CAUTION
■Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear passenger
or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.
