Toyota Prius: Driving position memory

The driving position memory feature in the 2024 Toyota Prius automatically adjusts the driver's seat positions for easier entry and exit from the vehicle, as well as to accommodate individual preferences. This convenience feature stores and recalls specific seat settings, allowing drivers to quickly regain their preferred driving position after another driver has used the vehicle or after adjusting for different driving conditions.

This feature automatically adjusts the positions of the driver's seat to make entering and exiting the vehicle easier or to suit your preferences.

When My Settings is turned on: Driving positions for the registered drivers (3 patterns) and guest (1 pattern) can be registered in My Settings.

When electronic key assignment is registered for My Settings, the driving position for each driver can be recalled (memory recall function).

When My Settings is turned off: Up to 2 different driving positions can be recorded.

Each electronic key can be registered to recall your preferred driving position (memory recall function).
