Driving Position Memory System Description

Overview 

The driving position memory system (DPMS) can store the driver's seat, steering column, and power mirrors positions to one of three memorized presets. Drivers can activate the system using the driving position memory switch or the remote.

Along with the seat, the power door lock settings will also be memorized based on which remote (Driver 1 or Driver 2) is used.

Memorizing the Seat, Mirror, and Steering Position 

Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, then move the seat, mirrors, and steering column to the desired position. Press and hold the SET button on the driving position memory switch. A single beep will be heard and both of the green LED will begin to flash. Press No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3 to match the remote that is to be used. There will be two more beeps confirming that the seat, mirror, and steering column positions have been memorized. The LED will remain lit unless the seat and the mirrors are moved from the memorized position.

Memorized Position Recall with the Remotes 

When the door on the driver's seat side is unlocked and then opened, the driver's seat moves rearward and the steering column moves to the memorized position corresponding to the remote. The green LED corresponding to that remote will then turn on and stay lit until the seat position is changed or the vehicle is turned to the OFF (LOCK) mode. When the door on the driver's seat side is opened with the vehicle in the OFF (LOCK) mode, the driver's seat and the steering column move to the Entry/Exit position.

Memorized Customized Setting Recall with the Remotes 

The customized setting is controlled independently by the remotes (Driver 1 and Driver 2).

Failsafe Function 

When a failure occurs in the inputs of the power supply and B-CAN signals or an abnormality with the control unit, the failsafe function disables the driving position memory system function.
