Seats, Seat belts, Steering wheel and Mirrors -> Driving position memory system for Your Toyota Avalon 4 Door Second Generation (2000-2004)

’03 AVALON U (L/O 0206)  
Driving position memory  
system  
The micro computer can memorize the  
position of the driver’s seat and outside  
rear view mirror. Two different driving  
position profiles can be entered into  
computer’s memory.  
CAUTION  
To reduce the risk of sliding under  
the lap belt during a collision, avoid  
reclining the seatback any more than  
needed. The seat belts provide maxi-  
mum protection in a frontal or rear  
collision when the driver and the pas-  
senger are sitting up straight and  
well back in the seats. If you are  
reclined, the lap belt may slide past  
your hips and apply restraint forces  
directly to the abdomen. In the event  
of a frontal collision, the more the  
seat is reclined, the greater the risk  
of personal injury.  
Recording  
a
driving position in the  
computer’s memory can only be done  
when the ignition key is in the “ON”  
position and the automatic transmission  
selector lever is in the “P” position.  
SETTING THE DRIVING POSITION  
1. Adjust the driver’s seat and outside  
rear view mirror to the desired posi-  
tion.  
3. SEAT  
LUMBAR  
ADJUSTING SWITCH  
SUPPORT  
2. While pushing the “SET” button,  
push button “1” or “2” until the sig-  
nal beeps.  
Push the switch on either side.  
The amount of lumbar support will change  
while the switch is pushed.  
The beep sound means that the positions  
are recorded in the computer’s memory.  
By repeating these two steps and pressing  
the remaining button, the driving position  
for another driver can be recorded.  
To set a new memorized position, select  
the desired position and perform step 2.  
The previous memory will be erased and  
a new position will be set.

To make only slight changes to an already  
memorized position, the easiest way is to  
first activate the memorized position, then  
make the desired changes and perform  
step 2 above.  
CONDITIONS FOR  
POSITION ACTIVATION
