Driving and Seat Position Memory System
■Setting memory positions
While holding down the “SET” button, press and
hold one of the memory buttons (“1”, “2”, or “3”)
until you hear a beep.
The current position of the seat, as well as the
position of the steering wheel and the outside
rear view mirrors (for the driver's seat only) is
recorded.
■Recalling memory positions
Press one of the memory buttons (“1”, “2”, or “3”).
■Linking driving position memory with door unlock operation
While holding down the desired memory button,
press and hold on the wireless remote control
until you hear a beep.
To prevent triggering of the alarm, open one of
the doors within 60 seconds after the beep is
heard.
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver's seat, steering wheel and the
outside rear view mirrors) and front passenger seat position can be memorized and
recalled with the touch of a button.
Linking driving position memory to the door unlock operation allows the memory position
to be recalled automatically when the driver's door is opened. (The linked function does not
operate if the driver's door is unlocked using the mechanical key or manually from inside
the vehicle.)
