CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts pro-
vide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver and
the front passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats. If
you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdomen
or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt. In the event of a frontal
collision, the more the seat is re-
clined, the greater the risk of death
or personal injury.
3. SEAT LUMBAR SUPPORT
ADJUSTING SWITCH
Push the control switch in the desired
direction.
The amount of lumber support will change
while the switch is pushed.
Vehicles with the driving position memory
systemÐThe position of the driver's seat
and outside rear view mirrors can be
memorized. For details, see ªDriving posi-
tion memory systemº on page 71 in this
Section.
CAUTION

Adjustment should not be made
while the vehicle is moving.

When adjusting the seat, be careful
not to hit the seat against a pas-
senger or luggage.

Third seats only: Adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and
align both seatbacks at the same
angle when a person sits in the
third seat center position. Other-
wise, the person cannot wear the
seat belt properly and this may
cause serious injuries in a collision.

When folding up the third seats, do
not fold down or up the second
seats.

After adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is lock in position.

After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.

Do not allow sitting on top of a
folded±down seatback, or in the
luggage compartment while driving.
Persons not properly seated and/or
properly restrained by seat belts
can be severely injured in the event
of emergency braking or a collision.

Do not operate any equipment in
the luggage compartment while
driving. People not properly seated
and/or properly restrained by seat
belts can be severely injured in the
event of emergency braking or a
collision.

Do not load luggage with only the
seatback folded down. Do not fail
to swing the whole seat up in such
a case. Luggage sliding forward
during braking may cause an acci-
dent or severe injury.

This system can memorize the position
of the driver's seat and outside rear
view mirrors, and recall them at the
touch of a button.
Buttons ª1º and ª2º can memorize two
separate positions.
SETTING THE DRIVING POSITION
The key must be in the ªONº position and
the shift lever is in the ªPº position.
1. Adjust the driver 's seat and outside
rear view mirrors to the desired
position.
2. While pushing the ªSETº button,
push button ª1º or ª2º until a beep
is heard.
The system can memorize up to 2 posi-
tions by repeating the above steps. If step
2 is performed when both buttons ª1º and
ª2º are memorized, the previous position
will be erased and a new position will be
set.To make only slight changes to an already
memorized position, the easiest way is to
first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform
step 2 above.

To change the steering wheel angle,
hold the steering wheel, pull the lock
release lever toward you, tilt the steer-
ing wheel to the desired angle and re-
lease the lever.
When the steering wheel is in a low posi-
tion, it will spring up as you release the
lock release lever.
CAUTION

Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.

After adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down to make
sure it is locked in position.
Adjust the mirror so that you can see
the side of your vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger 's side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.
On some models, when you push the
back window defogger switch, the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will
quickly clear the surface. To turn on the
back window defogger, see ªBack window
and outside rear view mirror defoggersº on
page 154 in Section 1±5.
