Toyota Venza: Driving position memory

Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver’s seat and angle of the outside rear view mirrors) can be memorized and recalled by pressing a button. It is also possible to set this function to activate automatically when the doors are unlocked.

Two different driving positions can be entered into memory.

 - Entering a position to memory

Check that the shift lever is in
P.

Vehicles with smart key system:
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

Vehicles without smart key system: Turn the engine switch is in the “ON” position.

Adjust the driver’s seat and outside
rear view mirrors to the desired positions.

While pressing the “SET” button, or within 3 seconds after the “SET” button is pressed, press button “1” or “2” until the signal beeps.

If the selected button has already been preset, the previously recorded position will be overwritten.

 - Recalling the memorized position

Check that the shift lever is in
P.

Vehicles with smart key system:
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

Vehicles without smart key system: Turn the engine switch is in the “ON” position.

Press button “1” or “2” to recall the desired position.

Power easy access system

The auto away/return function enables easy access by activating when the driver attempts to enter or exit the vehicle.

• The shift lever has been shifted to “P”.

• Vehicles with smart key system: The “ENGINE START STOP” switch has been turned off.

Vehicles without smart key system: The key is removed from the engine switch.

• The driver’s seat belt has been unfastened.

 - Operating the driving position memory after turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off (vehicles with smart key system) or the key is removed from the engine switch (vehicle without smart key system)

Memorized seat positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is closed again.

 - Stopping seat position recall operation part-way through

• Press the “SET” button.

• Press button “1” or “2”.

• Adjust the seat using the switches.

 - Correct seat position

When the seat is in the most forward or most backward position, and the seat is being moved in those directions, the system may not correctly recognize the current position and the memorized position will not be correctly recalled.

 - The auto away function for exiting the driver’s seat

If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function may not operate when the driver exits the vehicle.

 - If the battery is disconnected

The memorized positions are erased when the battery is disconnected.

 - Customization

The auto away function for driver’s seat may be disabled.
