Features of your vehicle
A driver position memory system is pro-
vided to store and recall the driver seat,
outside rearview mirror and adjustable
pedal positions with a simple button
operation. By saving the desired posi-
tions into the system memory, different
drivers can reposition the driver seat,
outside rearview mirror and adjustable
pedal based upon their driving prefer-
ence.
If battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be lost and the driving posi-
tions should be restored in the system.
Storing positions into memory
using the buttons on the doorStoring driver’s seat positions1. Shift the transaxle lever into P whilethe ignition switch is ON.
2. Adjust the driver seat, outside rearview mirror and adjustable pedal
to positions comfortable for the driver.
3. Press M button on the control panel. The system will beep once.
4. Press one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) within 5 seconds after pressing the
M button. The system will beep twice
when memory has been successfully
stored.
Recalling positions from memory1. Shift the transaxle lever into P whilethe ignition switch is ON.
2. To recall the position in memory, press the desired memory button (1 or 2).
The system will beep once, then the
driver seat, outside rearview mirror
and adjustable pedal will automatically
adjust to the stored positions.
Adjusting one of the control knobs for the
driver seat, outside rearview mirror and
adjustable pedal while the system is
recalling the stored positions will cause
the movement for that component to stop
and move in the direction that the control
knob is moved. Other components will
continue position recalling.
DRIVER POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Never attempt to operate the driver
position memory system while the
vehicle is moving.

Setting the adjustable pedal posi-
tion1. Be sure the parking brake is engaged.
2. Move the accelerator and brake ped-als to the front most position by push-
ing the ▼ portion of the switch.

Safety belt restraint system We strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts provided with the vehicle. Proper
use of the safety belts decreases the risk
of severe injury or death in accidents or
sudden stops. In most states, and in
Canada, the law requires their use. All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. This allows the occupants some
freedom of movement and increased
comfort while using the safety belts. If a
force is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly lock the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s).
WARNING
- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driver
and all passengers should use the
appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
Be sure you are familiar with the
information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
Read the safety warnings on the sun visors of your vehicle also.
WARNING
- Child restraint
in front seat
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
WARNING
Adjust the pedals after parking
the vehicle on level ground. Never
attempt to adjust the pedals while
the vehicle is moving.
Never adjust the pedals with your foot on the accelerator pedal as
this may result in increasing the
engine speed and 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.
