1. Open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.

ous procedure.

sion, set the selector lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion.

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
