MEMORY FUNCTION

This facility enables the position of the 
driver’s seat, steering column and 
exterior rear-view mirrors to be 
memorised and recalled. Three different 
position sets can be entered into the 
memory.

Setting a driving position

To store a driving position in the memory:

1. Adjust the seat, steering column and 

exterior rear-view mirrors to the 
desired positions.

2. In the door switch pack, push the M 

memory button, A, and the red LED, 
B, will illuminate for a five second 
period.

3. While the red LED is illuminated, push 

either button 1, 2 or 3 to memorise. 
The LED will go out and a chime will 
indicate that the setting procedure is 
complete. Additionally, if the ignition 
is on, the message centre will display 
a message that the settings have 
been saved.

To replace a memorised position 
with a new position

Adjust the seat to the desired position, 
perform steps 2 and 3. The previous 
memory will be erased and the new 
position will be set.

Recalling a memorised position 
from the door switchpack

Press and hold the appropriate memory 
button (1, 2 or 3). The button has to be 
pressed and remain pressed until the 
recall is complete. If the button is 
released before total recall is completed, 
all movement will cease.

Memory system operating tips

• When making adjustments to a set 

driving position, reset the new 
position using the same memory 
button.

• Ensure that the seat has completed 

moving into the required memory 
position before shifting the gear 
selector from the P position.

Passenger seat memory setting

The passenger door has a seat memory 
switch pack similar to that on the driver’s 
door.

The passenger seat can be set to three 
memory positions by using the memory 
setting buttons 1, 2 and 3.

The procedure for the setting and the 
recalling of the passenger seat memory is 
the same as for the driver’s seat.

However, there are no acceptance 
messages or a completed procedure 
chime.
