The automatic drive positioner system has the
following features:
cEntry/exit function
c Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This 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.
The driver's seat and steering wheel will return
to the previous positions when one of the
following is operated:
cWhen the ignition switch is pushed to the
ACC position after the driver's door is
closed.
c When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position.
c When the Intelligent Key is inserted into the
port after the driver's door is closed. 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 function
To cancel or activate the entry/exit function, the
selector lever must be in the P (Park) position
with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
Push and hold the SET switch for more than 10
seconds to cancel or activate the entry/exit
function.
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.
The entry/exit function can also be canceled or
activated if the ªLift Steering Wheel on Exitº key
or ªSlide Driver Seat Back on Exitº key is turned
to ON or OFF in the ªComfort & Conv.º settings.
(See ªVEHICLE INFORMATION AND SETTINGSº in
the ª4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systemsº section.)

If 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 pushed to the ON position once, then
pushed to the LOCK position. The entry/exit
function will be activated.

Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with increased
distance from the station transmitter, static or
flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by
lowering the treble setting to reduce the treble
response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception :
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmit-
ter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.Satellite radio reception :
When the satellite radio (if so equipped) is first
installed or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This is not
a malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any
metal or large building for satellite radio to
receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode will be skipped unless
an optional satellite receiver and antenna are
installed and an XMT
satellite radio service
subscription is active. Satellite radio is not
available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
Compact Disc (CD) player
c Do not force a compact disc into the CD insert
slot. This could damage the CD and/or CD
changer/player.
c Trying to load a CD with the CD door closed
could damage the CD and/or CD changer.
