Warning!
Do not adjust the driver's seat
while driving. Adjusting the seat
while driving could cause the
driver to lose control of the vehi­
cle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle
with the seat back reclined. The
seat back and seat belts provide
the best restraint, when the
wearer is in an upright position
and the belts are properly posi­
tioned on the body.
Storing seat/head restraint/steering
wheel positions in memory:
D Memory button.
E Position buttons " 1 " and "2" .
Two sets of seat/head restraint/steer­
ing wheel positions may be program­
med into memory. After the seat/head
restraint/steering wheel are posi­
tioned, push memory button D, re­
lease, and within 3 seconds push
position button " 1" . A second set of
positions for the same seat/head re­
straint/steering wheel can be pro­
grammed into memory by pushing
first button D and then "2" .
Recalling seat/head restraint/steering
wheel positions stored in memory:
To recall a seat/head restraint/steering
wheel position, push position button " 1"
or "2" until seat/head restraint/steering
wheel movement has stopped. For safe­
ty reasons, the seat/head restraint/steer­
ing wheel movement stops after releas­
ing the position button.
Note:
See page 36 for instructions to adjust
telescopic steering column.
