        • A key ID is registered to button 1, 2 or 3.

        • Engine switch is off.

        • The inside of the outside door handle is touched or the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly unlock button is pushed to unlock, and then the driver door is opened.

        The seat position that was memorized in the position control ECU assembly is recalled.
        Automatic Away
        • Engine switch is off.

        • Driver seat belt is not in use.


        • The seat automatically moves rearward up to 50 mm (1.97 inch).

        • The lumbar support moves to the rear most position.

        Automatic Return
        • Seat is in automatic away position.

        • Engine switch is turned on (ACC) or on (IG).


        • The seat automatically returns to the previous seat position.

        • If the position control ECU determines that the driver seat will interfere with the retractable table while the automatic away function is operating, the automatic away function stops and the buzzer (built into the front power seat switch assembly) sounds simultaneously.

          *1 Power Seat Motor *2 Position Control ECU (Front Power Seat Switch)
          *3 Hall IC - -
          *a Current pulsation generated by motor - -
  5. DIAGNOSIS


    1. The position control ECU (front power seat switch) has a diagnosis function. It stores a record of any power seat control system malfunctions in its memory in the form of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

    2. The position control ECU (front power seat switch) outputs malfunction data and 5-digit DTCs to the Global TechStream (GTS).

    3. The 5-digit DTCs can be read after connecting the Global TechStream (GTS) to the DLC3. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.
