Comfort functions
Driving position memory

Used with the power driver's seat, this function stores two driving positions to make adjustments easier when drivers change frequently.
It stores the power seat and outside mirror settings.

Using the 1 / 2 / M buttons
► get in and switch the ignition on.
► adjust the seat and outside mirrors.
► press button M, then within 4 seconds, press button 1 or 2.
An audible signal sounds to confirm the position has been stored.
Storing a new position overwrites the previous one.
Recalling a stored position
When the seat is moving, make sure nothing and no one is obstructing its automatic movement.
Ignition on or engine running
► press button 1 or 2 to recall the corresponding position.
An audible signal sounds when the recall is complete. It is possible to interrupt the movement in progress by pressing button M, 1 or 2, or by using a seat adjustment control.
Position recall is not possible while driving.
Position recall is disabled approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off.
Heated seats

The function is only active with the engine running and when the outside temperature is below 20 °C.
► press the button for the corresponding seat.
► each press changes the heating level; the corresponding number of indicator lights comes on.
► to turn the heating off, press the button until all indicator lights go out.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat is unoccupied.
Reduce the heating level as soon as possible.
Once the seat and cabin temperatures have reached a sufficient level, turn the function off; lower current draw reduces energy consumption.
Prolonged use of the seat heaters is not recommended for people with sensitive skin.
Risk of burns for people with impaired heat perception (e.g. due to illness or medication).
To maintain the integrity of the heating element and prevent the risk of short circuit:
- Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the seat.
- Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
- Do not pour in any liquids.
- Never use the function while the seat cushion is soaked.
