Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Driving Position Memory (Some models)

The desired driving position can be called up after programming the position.

The following driving positions can be programmed.

• Driver’s seat position (seat slide, height adjustment, front edge of seat bottom, seat recline)
• Active driving display (display position, brightness level, display information)
