the ON position.
When the anti-glare system is turned on, the
indicator light
sAwill illuminate and excessive
glare from the headlights of the vehicle behind
you will be reduced.

indicator light will turn off. Push the ªIº switch
sDto turn the system on.
Do not allow any object to cover the sensors
sE
or apply glass cleaner on them. Doing so will
reduce the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in
improper operation.
For the compass (if so equipped) operation, see
ªCOMPASSº in the ª2. Instruments and con-
trolsº section. For the HomeLink
TUniversal Transceiver opera-
tion, see ªHomeLink TUNIVERSAL TRANS-

1. Move the selector lever to the P (Park)position.
2. Push the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion. 3. Adjust the driver's seat, steering column
and outside mirrors to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjust-
ing switch. For additional information, see
ªSEATSº in the ª1. Safety Ð Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint systemº
section and ªTILT/TELESCOPIC STEERINGº
page 3-22 and ªOUTSIDE MIRRORSº ear-
lier in this section.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 sec- onds, push the memory switch (1 or 2)
fully for at least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will stay on for approximately 5 sec-
onds after pushing the switch.
If memory is stored in the same memory switch,
the previous memory will be deleted.
Procedure for storing the outside
mirror positions for best visibility at
reverse tilt-down feature
Two outside mirror positions for backing up can
be stored in the automatic drive positioner
memory.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Push the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion. (Do not start the engine.) 3. Push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for
at least 1 second to operate the automatic
drive positioner.
4. Turn the outside mirror control switch to L (left).
5. Depress the brake pedal.

position, the outside mirror will move with
the initial tilt-down angle, if the reverse
tilt-down position is stored.
Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position
The Intelligent Key can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following procedure.
1. Follow the steps for storing a memoryposition.
2. While the indicator light for the memory switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, push the
button on the Intel-
ligent Key. If the indicator light blinks, the
Intelligent Key is linked to that memory
setting.
Push the ignition switch to the LOCK position,
and push the
button on the Intelligent
Key. The driver's seat, steering wheel and out-
side mirrors will move to the memorized posi-
tion.
Confirming memory storage
c Push the ignition switch to the ON position
and push the SET switch. If the main memory
has not been stored, the indicator light will
come on for approximately 0.5 second.
When the memory has stored in position, the
indicator light will stay on for approximately
5 seconds.
c If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the memory will be canceled. In
this case, reset the desired position using
the previous procedure.
c If optional Intelligent Keys are added to your
vehicle, perform the memory storage proce-
dure to switch (1 or 2) and linking Intelligent
Key procedure to a stored memory position
again for each Intelligent Key. For additional
Intelligent Key information, see ªKEYSº ear-
lier in this section.
Selecting the memorized position
1. Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
2. Use one of the following methods to move the driver's seat, steering column and
outside mirrors.
cPush the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion and push the memory switch (1 or 2)
fully for at least 1 second.
c Within 45 seconds after opening the driv-
er's door, push the memory switch (1 or 2)
fully for at least 1 second.
The driver's seat, steering column and
outside mirrors will move to the memo-
