How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    First store the preferred driving position in memory button 1, 2 or 3 using the normal SET procedure.

  2. 02

    Carry only the electronic key that will be linked and close the driver's door; keep all other vehicle keys away.

  3. 03

    Select P and turn the power switch to ON.

  4. 04

    Press the memory button containing the desired position and let the vehicle recall it.

  5. 05

    While continuing to press that recalled memory button, press and hold either Lock or Unlock on the driver's door lock switch until the buzzer sounds.

  6. 06

    Test the link later by locking the vehicle, carrying only that key, then unlocking and opening the driver's door.

Important limits

  • Do not perform the procedure with two or more keys inside; the manual says the position may not register correctly.
  • Seat movement can pinch an object or passenger; keep the seat path clear and confirm the final position before driving.
  • If a passenger door is used to unlock the vehicle, automatic recall may not occur.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓A continuous buzzer for approximately three seconds indicates that registration failed; remove other keys and repeat from P with power ON.
  • ✓If the RX has My Settings, assign the desired electronic key to the driver in the multimedia profile rather than using this button sequence.
  • ✓If automatic recall does not occur, manually press the saved memory button and verify that the position itself was stored correctly.
