Driver position memory system (for power seat) (if equipped)

A driver position memory system is provided to store and recall the driver seat position with a simple button operation. 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 position memory will be erased and the driving position should be restored in the system.

WARNING

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

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

Storing positions into memory using the buttons on the door

Storing driver’s seat positions

1
Shift the shift lever into P or N (for Dual clutch transmission / Automatic transmission) or Neutral (for Manual transmission / Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT)) whilst the ENGINE START/STOP button is ON or ignition switch ON.
2
Adjust the driver’s seat comfortable for the driver.
3
Press SET button on the control panel. The system will beep once.
4
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.

Recalling positions from memory

1
Shift the shift lever into P or N (for Dual clutch transmission / Automatic transmission) or Neutral (for Manual transmission / Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT)) whilst the ENGINE START/STOP button is ON or ignition switch ON.
2
To recall the position 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.

Adjusting the control switch for the driver’s seat whilst the system is recalling the stored position will cause the movement to stop and move in the direction that the control switch is moved.

WARNING

Use caution when recalling the adjustment memory whilst sitting in the vehicle. Push the seat position control switch to the desired position immediately if the seat moves too far in any direction.

Initializing Driver position memory system

Initialize Driver position memory system as follows if the system fails to function properly.

Initialization method

  1. (for Manual transmission / Intelligent manual transmission (iMT)) Have the vehicle completely stopped, the ignition [ON], and open the door on driver’s side.

    (for Dual clutch transmission and Automatic transmission) Have the vehicle completely stopped, the ignition [ON], and the shift lever placed into P (Parking). Afterwards, open the door on driver’s side.

  2. Using the control switches for forward or backward and seatback angle, pull the seat forward to the fullest and the seatback upright forward to the fullest.

  3. Press both [SET] button and the forward movement control switch at the same time for two seconds.

Initialization process

1
The alarm sounds and the initialization process starts.
2
The driver seat and its seatback automatically move backward. The alarm continues to sound during the movement.
3
The seat and seatback move to the centre and the alarm sounds and the initialization is completed.

In the following cases, however, the initialization process and the alarming sound come to a stop.

  • When Driving position memory system button is pressed

  • When the control switches for driver’s seat are pressed

  • When the shift lever was displaced from [P] to another position (for Dual clutch transmission / Automatic transmission)

  • When vehicle is ran at the speed of 3km/h or faster

  • When the door on the driver’s side is closed

WARNING

  • Re-start initialization if the alarming sound or initialization stop whilst the initialization is in process.

  • Make sure that nothing blocks the place near the driver seat before initializing Driver position memory system.

  • Once initialization is completed, make sure to adjust the seat to the driver’s preferences and remember the driving position.

Easy access function (if equipped)

  • Without smart key system

    • It will move the driver’s seat rearward when the ignition key is removed and front driver’s door is opened.

    • It will move the driver’s seat forward when the ignition key is inserted.
