Storing
Three sets of seat/head restraint positions may be
programmed into memory.
Together with the driver’s seat position you can store
the exterior rear view mirror positions.
After the seat/head restraint and exterior rear view
mirrors are positioned, push memory button (6),
release, and within 3 seconds push position button “1”.
A second and third set of positions for the same seat/
head restraint and exterior rear view mirrors can be
programmed into memory by pushing first memory
button (6) and then “2”, respectively “3”.
Note:
See page 75 for instructions on adjustment of mirrors.Recalling
To recall a seat/head restraint and exterior rear view
mirror position, push and hold position button “1”, “2”
or “3” until seat/head restraint and exterior rear view
mirror movement has stopped. The seat/head restraint
and exterior rear view mirror movement stops when the
position button is released.
Caution!
Do not operate the power seats using the memory
button if the backrest is in an excessively reclined
position. Doing so could cause damage to front or rear
seats.
First move the backrest to an upright position.
Synchronizing power seats and head restraints
If the power supply was interrupted (battery
disconnected or empty), the power seats and head
restraints are no longer adjusted automatically.
To resynchronize the adjustment feature, turn
electronic key in steering lock to position 2, move the
seat completely forward and the head restraint fully
down, and hold respective buttons for approx.
2seconds.

backrest of the sliding seat is pushed against an
occupant or object. The seat will slide forward, stop, and
make 3 attempts sliding backward.
To halt the automatic process, activate the power seat
switch. Investigate and correct the cause of interruption.
Now use memory button or power seat switch to bring
seat into desired position.
The backrest release lever (1) also serves as a rest for
the front seat belt, bringing it within easy reach.

Multicontour seat (optional)
Some models may be equipped with multicontour seats.
These seats have movable seat cushions, and inflatable
air cushions built into the backrest to provide additional
lumbar and side support.We recommend to adjust the multicontour seat in the
following order:
1Seat cushion depth
Slide the switch fore or aft until your legs are
supported comfortably.
2Backrest bottom
3Backrest center
4Side bolster adjustment
Adjust the side bolster to provide good lateral
support.
The seat cushion movement and amount of backrest
cushion height and curvature can be continuously
varied with regulators (1, 2 and 3) after turning the
electronic key in steering lock to position 2.
The side bolsters of the backrest can be adjusted with
rocker switch (4):
•press to the right – increase side support,
•press to the left – decrease side support.
If the engine is turned off, the last cushion setting is
retained in memory, and automatically adjusts the
cushion to this setting when the engine is restarted.
