How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    First save the desired seat position: shift to P, turn the engine switch ON, adjust the seat, then hold SET and press memory 1 or 2 until the buzzer sounds.

  2. 02

    Remove every other electronic key from the vehicle; carry only the key you want to link and close the driver’s door.

  3. 03

    With the shift lever in P and engine switch ON, recall the saved memory position.

  4. 04

    While pressing that recalled memory button, press and hold either side of the interior door-lock switch until the buzzer sounds.

  5. 05

    Lock the doors. Later, unlock and open the driver’s door with that registered key to recall its linked position.

Important limits

  • Only carry the key being registered; two or more keys in the vehicle can prevent correct registration.
  • The lumbar-support adjustment is not included in the memorized positions, and disconnecting the 12-volt battery erases stored positions.
  • Keep occupants and objects clear while the seat moves; operate the seat controls to stop recall immediately.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓A continuous buzzer for about 3 seconds means registration failed; remove other keys, confirm P/ON and repeat after recalling the target position.
  • ✓If unlocking another door does not recall the seat, unlock and open the driver’s door—the manual limits automatic recall to that path.
  • ✓If no positions remain after battery service, record memory 1/2 again before relinking the key.
