VANITY MIRRORTo use the front vanity mirror, pull down the sun
visor and pull up the cover.The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
.Entry/exit function
.Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTIONThis system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and steering column will automatically move
when the selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into and
out of the driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up when the driver’s
door is opened with the ignition switch in the
LOCK position and the key not inserted in the
key port.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return
to the previous positions when the ignition
switch is pushed to the ACC position.
The driver’s seat will not return to the previous
positions if the seat or steering adjusting switch
is operated when the seat is at the exit position.Cancel or activate entry/exit functionThe selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
The entry/exit function can be activated orcanceled by pressing and holding the SET
switch for more than 10 seconds.
The indicator lights on the memory switches (1
and 2) will blink once when the function is
canceled, and the indicator lights will blink twice
when the function is activated. Note that the
indicator lights may illuminate after 5 seconds
while holding the SET switch. This indicates
readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to a
stored memory position. Keep the SET switch
pressed for more than 10 seconds to turn on or
off the entry/exit function.
The entry/exit function can also be activated or
canceled if the “Lift Steering Wheel on Exit” key
or “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit” key is turned
to ON or OFF in the “Comfort & Conv.” settings.
(See “VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SET-
TINGS” in the “4. Monitor, heater, air condi-
tioner, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
Initialize entry/exit functionIf the battery cable is disconnected, or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will not work
though this function was set on before. In such
a case, after connecting the battery or replacing
with a new fuse, open and close the driver’s
door more than two times after the ignition
switch is turned from the ON position to the
LOCK position. The entry/exit function will be
activated.
