Move seat fully back
CAUTION
 A forwardfacing child restraint system should be
allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the front passenger
airbag could inflate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
 Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part
of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the
side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if
the child is seated in a child restraint system. It is
dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield airbag
inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious
injury to the child.

MEMORY CALL SYSTEM USING A SMART KEY
This system allows you to adjust the driver’s seat, the
driver’s head restraint height, driver’s seat cushion
length, the height of the shoulder belt anchor of the
driver’s seat belt and outside rear view mirrors to the
memorized position when you open the driver’s door after
unlocking it with a smart key. And when you push the
ignition switch, the tilt and telescopic steering is adjusted.
To activate this system, the ID of the smart key needs to
be registered in the memory button.
Registering the smart key ID code
Before the registration of the ID of the smart key, the driving
position must be memorized in the memory button.
When registering, the driver’s door must be closed with the
ignition switch in the “OFF” position.
1. Keep the smart key in possession, select a button in
which you want to record the ID of the key from buttons
“1”, “2” and “3” and push it.
2. Push the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button on the smart
key for about one second with button “1”, “2” or “3” held\
down.
When the registration is completed, one beep sounds. If the
key has already been registered, the previous memory will be
erased. If the same driving position profile for the same key is
registered in another button, that memory will also be erased.

152.OUTSIDE REAR VIEWMIRRORS
16L282
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 mirror” on page 234. When you push the rear window and outside rear view mirror
defogger swi
tch or operate the wipers, the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface.
(See “Windshield wiper and washer switch” on page 58 and
“Rear window and outside rear view mirror defogger switch” on
page 63.)
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.
