'98 AVALON (USA/CANADA) −U Driving position memory system 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 maximum protection in frontal or rear collision when the driver and the passenger 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. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing recline of the seatback. 3. DRIVER'S SEAT LUMBAR SUPPORT ADJUSTING LEVER Pull the lever forward until you have reached your desired position. To reduce the lumbar support, pull the lever back toward its original position. The micro computer can memorize the position of the driver's seat. Two different driving position profiles can be entered into computer's memory. 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 A DRIVING POSITION 1. Adjust the driver's seat to the desired position. 2. While pushing the "SET" button, push button "1" or "2" until the signal beeps. 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 the new position will be set. 29
