System Description

System Description

The driver's seat and the power mirrors have a memory feature. All the adjustments can be memorized by pressing the MEMO button on the driving position memory switch, and then pressing one of two position buttons within 5 seconds. Pressing the appropriate position button will move the seat and the mirrors to the memorized positions. This system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system, and has 9 wake-up and sleep modes. All digital signals are sent via shared B-CAN and UART communication lines. For more information about communication line and wake-up/sleep mode, refer to the Multiplex Control System Description.

DPMS is linked to the keyless transmitters 1 and 2. Depending on which keyless transmitter unlocks the doors, the driving memory position 1 or 2 is chosen. To turn remote DPMS feature ON (link) or OFF (unlinked) press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the keyless transmitter for about 1 second. The LED on the keyless transmitter blinks once when linked, and twice when unlinked, refer to Keyless Entry/Security Alarm System Descriptions for more information.

Memory Retrieve

When one of the two buttons on the driving position memory switch is pressed with the vehicle parked (A/T: shift lever in P position) (M/T: shift lever in neutral, parking brake on) and the driver's door closed, the seat and the mirrors move to the memorized positions.

Power Seat Position Sensors

Each motor has a sensor which detects motor rotation and sends a pulse to the power seat control unit when the motor rotates. The control unit stores the number of pulses in its memory, and the seat position is memorized.

Power Mirror Position Sensors

By means of a tilt position sensor and swing position sensor, the power mirror control circuit in the power mirror control unit detects the voltage changes caused by the movements of the mirrors. These voltage changes are stored in memory, and the power mirror positions are memorized for each stored driving position.

Reverse Mirror Control

When the vehicle is shifted to Reverse (shift lever in R position) with the power mirror selector switch in Left (or Right) position, the driver's (or passenger's) side mirror tilts down automatically to help the driver's view. The mirror will return to the previous position when the shift lever is shifted out of R position. The reverse mirror control is cancelled if the power mirror selector switch is in the center position.
