Kia Optima DL3: Driver position memory system (for power seat) / Driver position memory system reset

If the Driver position memory system reset fails to work, initialize the system as follows.

How to initialize:

1. Stop the car and open the driver’s door with the Engine start/stop button in ON and the automatic shift lever in P (parking) position.

2. Pull the driver’s seat forward as far as possible and have the seatback upright as much as possible using driver’s seat forward adjustment and seatback angle (recline) movement switches.

3. Push SET button and seat foreward movement switch button for 2 seconds simultaneously.

CAUTION

• If alarm sounds and driver seat adjustment stops while initialization is in process, restart initialization.
• Make sure that there are no obstacles around the driver seat before proceeding with initialization.
• After initialization is completed, adjust the seats so they conform to your ideal driving position and save the customized seat settings.

Initialization in the process :

1. Initialization begins as the alarm sounds.

2. The seat and seatback will automatically move backwards. The alarm sound will continue while the system is in operation.

3. Initialization will be all set after the seat and seatback move to the center with alarm sound being raised. If, however, any of the following occur, the initialization process will come to a stop and the alarm sound will stop as well.

- When pushing driving position memory system button
- When pushing driver’s seat height adjustment switch
- When relocating the shift lever from P position to other positions
- When the driving speed exceeds 3 km/h (2 mph)
- When the driver’s door is closed
