  • Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
  • Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
  • The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is in motion.


    • Programming the driver's seat memory (option)*

    Three different seating and door mirror positions can be stored in the driver seat's memory.

    The following example explains how button 1 can be programmed.

    Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same way.

    To program (store) a seat position in button 1:

    1. Move the seat to the desired position using the seat adjustment controls (see the previous page).

    2. Press and hold down the MEM (memory) button.

    3. With the MEM button depressed, press button 1 briefly to store the seat's current position.

    To move the seat to the position that it was in when button 1 was programmed:

    Press and hold down button 1 until the seat stops moving.

    As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button is released before the seat has reached the preset position.

    * This option is only available on the driver's seat.

    NOTE: See page 110 for information on how the jack should be used.

    Cargo net in the trunk
    The cargo net in the trunk can be used to secure light objects. Pull the net out and slide the runner in the handle down into one of the two slots provided at the rear edge of the trunk. Use the release tab to release tension on the net while it is being placed around an object. Be sure the net is then pulled taut around the object.

    Cargo net in trunk

    NOTE: If you have purchased the accessory plastic floor cover for the trunk, it may be necessary to cut notches in the rear edge of this cover so that the runner on the cargo net can be securely pressed into the slots provided.

    WARNING!
    Never use this net to secure sharp or heavy objects. In such cases, tie down the object using the cargo eyelets provided. Both rear seat backrests should be secured in the upright position when the cargo net is in use.

    pg. 60 Folding rear seat backrests




    Backrest controls (on opposite sides of trunk)

    Folding rear seat backrest
    The rear seat backrest is split into two sections. Each section can be folded independently to allow you to transport long objects.

    To fold down the backrest(s):

  • Pull the release control handle(s) in the trunk to release the backrest(s) (see illustration above). If the outboard rear head restraints are folded down, they should be returned to the upright position before folding the backrest down. It may be necessary to manually adjust the center head restraint.
  • Fold the backrest down.

    WARNING!
    All S80 cars feature 60/40 split fold-down rear seats. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk, and also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become locked inside the trunk.
    Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
    To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the trunk.

    WARNING!

  • Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
  • On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk.


    • WARNING!

  • When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head restraints to the upright position.
  • Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
  • Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
  • Place the transmission in the P (PARK) position to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear selector.
