OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM

The symbol on a child restraint system indicates the presence
of a lower connector system.
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Type A Ð
1. Widen the clearance between the seat cushion and
seatback a little and confirm the position of the lower
anchorages below the tag in the seatback.
2. Latch the hooks of lower straps onto the anchorages
and tighten the lower straps.
Type B Ð
1. Widen the clearance between the seat cushion and
seatback a little and confirm the position of the lower
anchorages below the tag in the seatback.
2. Latch the buckles onto the anchorages.
If your child restraint system has a top strap, it should be
anchored. (For the installation of the top strap, see Using a top
strapº on page 173.)
For the installation details, refer to the instruction manual
equipped with each product.
CAUTION
When using the lower anchorages for the child
restraint system, be sure that there are no irregular
objects around the anchorages or that the seat belt is
not caught.
Push and pull the child restraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
Do not install a child restraint system on the rear seat
if it interferes with the lock mechanism of the front
seats. This can cause death or serious injury to the
child and front passenger in case of sudden braking
or a collision.

DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
The microcomputer can memorize the positions of the driver's
seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside rear view
mirrors. Two different driving position profiles can be entered
into the computer's memory.
Recording a driving position in the computer's memory can
only be done when the ignition key is in the ONº position and
the selector lever is in the Pº position.
Setting the driving position
1. Adjust the driver's seat, accelerator and brake pedals,
and outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the SETº button, push button 1º or 2º
until the signal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer's memory.By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining
button, the driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the 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.
Recalling the memorized position
When you push button 1º or 2º, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
179 Conditions for memorized position activation
Ignition key ONº and selector lever in Pº position.
Ignition switch off and within 30 seconds of opening driver's
door.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the
memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (1º or 2º)
again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be
operated while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the computer's
memory will be erased and the memorized positions will have
to be set again.
CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are
being made.
Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat
could strike the rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this happens, you can
stop the movement by pressing another driving
position memory switch.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
181
TILT STEERING WHEEL
To change the steering wheel angle, hold the steering
wheel, pull up the lock release lever, tilt the steering wheel
to the desired angle and release the lever.
When the steering wheel is in a low position, 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 mishandle
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.
POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
To adjust the position of the accelerator and brake pedals,
push the switch.
The ignition key must be in the ONº position with the automatic
transmission selector lever in the Pº position.
To move the pedals toward the front of the vehicle: Push the

º side of the switch.
To move the pedals back toward you: Push the 
º side of the
switch.
The accelerator and brake pedals will move simultaneously.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
182When you set your driving position:
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Move the accelerator and brake pedals to the front most
position.
3. Adjust the seat position and steering wheel angle properly.
(See pages 108 and 181.)
4. Move the pedals toward you until you can fully depress the
brake pedal.
5. After adjusting, depress the pedals a few times to get used
to the feel.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelerator pedal while the
pedals are moving. It may cause racing of the engine
or sudden acceleration.
Make sure that you can fully depress the brake pedal
before driving. Otherwise, you may not be able to
hold down the brake pedal firmly in an emergency
stop.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance 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 if seen in a normal
flat mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in AUTO mode, the
outside rear view mirrors also darken to reduce the reflection
of the headlights of the following vehicle. For details, see
Inside rear view mirrorº on page 184.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
183 When you push the rear window and outside rear view mirror
defogger switch, the heater panels in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface. (See Rear window
and outside rear view mirror defogger switchº on page 49.)
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the
vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in death
or serious injuries.
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogger switch is on.
