Press the SET button, then within 3 seconds press
one of the memory buttons (1, 2, or 3) until you

■Linking driving position memory with door unlock operation (driver's seat only)
While holding down the desired memory button,
press and hold the button on the wireless
remote control or door lock switch until you hear a
beep.
To prevent triggering of the alarm, open one of
the doors within 180 seconds after the beep is

The seats can be returned to a previously set position by simply pressing a button.
The position of the steering wheel and the outside rear view mirrors is adjusted along with the
driver's seat.
Positions can be conveniently recorded for the vehicle's primary drivers and passengers.
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.)
