Driver position memory system for power seat (if equipped)

A driver position memory system is provided to store and recall the driver seat, outside rearview mirror and Head-Up Display (HUD) position with a simple button operation.

Driver seat/outside rearview mirror: location

Head-Up Display (HUD): height

By saving the desired position into the system memory, different drivers can reposition the driver seat based upon their driving preference. If the battery is disconnected, the desired seat position memory will need to be re-saved.

WARNING

Driver position memory system

Never attempt to operate the driver position memory system while the vehicle is moving.

This could result in loss of control, and an accident causing death or serious injury.

CAUTION

The driver position memory system requires a large amount of electric power.

Refrain from using the system when the engine is stopped to prevent battery discharge.

Storing driver's seat positions

1
Place the ENGINE START/STOP button is ON while the vehicle stop.

Press one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) within 4 seconds after pressing the SET button. The system will beep twice when memory has been successfully stored.

When recalling an adjustment memory button while sitting in the vehicle, you can be surprised by the setting chosen if the memory has been adjusted by someone else. If that occurs, immediately push the seat position control switch in the direction of the desired position to stop further undesired movement.

Recalling positions from memory

Operate the following steps while the vehicle is stopped:

  • To recall a position already stored in the memory, press the desired memory button (1 or 2). The system will beep once, then the driver's seat will automatically adjust to the stored position.

If you adjust the control switch for the driver's seat while the system is recalling the stored position, the seat will stop and then move in the direction that the control switch is moved.

Resetting the driver position memory system
