Activating Memorized Position: Notes

CAUTION: 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 wheel. If this happens, you can stop the movement by pressing another driving position memory switch.

When you push the 1 or 2 button, the driving position will be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that button.
