tion when the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.

tioner” later in this section.The accelerator and brake pedals can be ad-
justed for driving comfort.
Use the pedal adjusting switch to adjust the
brake and accelerator pedal position away from
the driver
1or toward the driver2.
The brake and accelerator pedals cannot be ad-
justed separately.

The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:● Memory storage function
● Entry/exit function
MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
wheel, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside
mirrors can be stored in the automatic drive po-
sitioner memory. Follow these procedures to use
the memory system.
1. Place the shift selector in the P (Park) posi- tion.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, ac- celerator and brake pedals, and outside mir-
rors to the desired positions by manually
operating each adjusting switch. For addi- tional information, see “Seats” in the
“Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemen-
tal restraint system” section of this manual
and “Steering wheel,” “Pedal position ad-
justment” and “Outside mirrors” earlier in this
section.
During this step, do not place the ignition
switch in any position other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the se-
lected positions are stored in the selected
memory (1 or 2) .
If a new memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Linking a keyfob to a stored memory
position
Each keyfob can be linked to a stored memory
position (memory switch 1 or 2) with the follow-
ing procedure. 1. Follow the steps for storing a memory posi- tion.

onds, press the
button on the keyfob.
The indicator light will blink. After the indica-
tor light goes off, the keyfob is linked to that
memory setting.

OFF position, press the
button on the key-
fob. The driver’s seat, steering wheel, accelerator
and brake pedals, and outside mirrors will move
to the memorized position.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is saved to the
memory switch, the keyfob automatically
re-links.
Confirming memory storage
● Place the ignition switch in 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 seconds.
When the memory has stored the position,
the indicator light will stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds. ●
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the memory storage function will
be canceled and must be restarted before a
stored memory position can be set again.
Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to
restart the memory storage function. You
can also restart the memory storage function
using the following procedure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
Once the memory storage function has been
restarted, you can store a memory position.
See “Memory storage function” earlier in this
section.Selecting the memorized position
Set the shift selector to the P (Park) position,
then: ● Within 45 seconds of opening the driver’s
door, push the memory switch (1 or 2) or
● Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
and push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
The driver’s seat, steering wheel, accelerator and
brake pedals, and outside mirrors will move to the memorized position with the indicator light blink-
ing, and then the light will stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and steering wheel will automatically move when
the shift selector is placed in the P (Park) posi-
tion. This allows the driver to get into and out of
the driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will slide
backward:
● When the driver’s door is opened with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK position.
● When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to LOCK with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position: ● When the driver’s door is closed with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK position.
● When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to ON while the shift selector is in the P
(Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed. See “Comfort & convenience settings” in
the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section of this manual.
