doors with) and open the driver's door, the driver's seat will automati\
cally move to the position in which
you left it.
The seat will move to this position even if someone else has adjusted it\
since you last unlocked the car
with the same remote control.
NOTE:
l This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control tr\
ansmitters (up to 3) that you
use with your car.
l This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key.
