Memory System, Initializing

2003 Volkswagen Golf (1J1) L4-1.8L Turbo (AWW)SECTION Memory System, Initializing



Memory System, Initializing


NOTE:
- All data stored for the seat and mirror settings will be lost when the vehicle battery is disconnected.
- This data will be retained in future control units even after the battery has been disconnected.
- Each new setting stored on the same button will erase the previous data.
- It is not possible to store settings on the memory buttons if the red switch is switched-off (switch protrudes).
- The battery voltage must not be below 10.5 V. Otherwise the system detects low voltage and will store a malfunction in the DTC memory.


The following test steps must be performed for the initialization:
- Open driver's door.
- Switch on ignition.
- Then move the seat backrest forwards as far as stop.

This position will be recorded for reference when the stop limit switch-off occurs.
