Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Activating Memorized Positions
- Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are being made.
- Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat could strike the rear passenger or hit your body against the steering. If this happens, you can stop the movement by pressing another driving position memory switch, or by depressing the brake pedal.
When you push button "1" or "2", the driving position will be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that. See Fig 1.
Conditions for memorized position activation:
- Ignition key ON and shift lever into "P" position. However, if the brake pedal is being depressed, the seat position will not change.
- Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening the driver's door. The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt and telescopic steering. This will be activated when the key is inserted into the ignition switch.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the operation will stop. To activate the system, push the desired button ("1" or "2") again. The driving position memory control system cannot be operated while the vehicle is moving. If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the computer's memory will be erased and the memorized position will have to be set again.
