Confirming memory storage
cTurn the ignition ON and push the SET
switch. If the main memory has not been
stored, the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. When the
memory has stored the position, the indica-
tor light will stay on for approximately 5 sec-
onds.
cIf the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the memory will be canceled. In
such a case, reset the desired positions
using the following procedures.
1. Open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.
2. Reset the desired position using the previ-
ous procedure.
Selecting the memorized position
For vehicles equipped with automatic transmis-
sion, set the selector lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion.
For vehicles equipped with manual transmission,
place the shift lever in the N (Neutral) position
and set the parking brake.Then:
cWithin 45 seconds of opening the driver’s
door, push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully
for at least 1 second, or
cTurn the ignition switch to the ON position
and push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for
at least 1 second.
The driver’s seat, accelerator and brake pedals,
and outside mirrors will move to the memorized
position with the indicator light blinking, and then
the light will stay on for approximately 5 seconds.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION (for
automatic transmission model)
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and steering column will automatically move
when the automatic transmission selector lever is
in the P (Park) position. This allows the driver to
get into and out of the driver’s seat more easily.
(This feature is not available on manual transmis-
sion model.)
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up:
cWhen the key is removed from the ignition
switch and the driver’s door is opened.cWhen the driver’s door is opened with the
key turned to LOCK.
cWhen the key is turned from ACC to LOCK
with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
previous position:
cWhen the key is inserted into the ignition
switch and the driver’s door is closed.
cWhen the driver’s door is closed with the key
turned to LOCK.
cWhen the key is turned from ACC to ON
while the automatic transmission selector
lever is in the P (Park) position.
The entry/exit feature can be adjusted or can-
celed. See “Personalized settings menu” (ve-
hicles without navigation system) or “Vehicle
electronic systems” (vehicles with navigation sys-
tem) in the “Display screen, heater, air condi-
tioner, audio and phone systems” section of this
