• Adjust the seat to your preferences.
• When you leave your vehicle, lock it using the remote key.

The position of the seat is now stored in the remote key.

Automatic seat adjustment

To move the seat to the position in which you left it:

1. Unlock the driver's door with the same remote key (the one used to lock the doors)
2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes.

The driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left it.

Programming the memory

Programming the memory

Three different seating and door mirror positions can be stored in the driver seat's memory.

The following example explains how button 1 can be programmed. Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same way.

To program (store) a seat position in button 1:

1. Move the seat to the desired position using the seat adjustment controls.
2. Press and hold down the MEM (memory) button
3. With the MEM button depressed, press button 1 briefly to store the seat's current position.

To move the seat to the position that it was in when button 1 was programmed:

Press and hold down button 1 until the seat stops moving.

As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button is released before the seat has reached the preset position.
