VANITY MIRROR
To use the front vanity mirror, pull down the sun
visor and pull up the cover.The automatic drive positioner system has four
features:
●
Entry/exit function
● Seat synchronization function
● Memory storage
● Setting memory function
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 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 function
The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
The entry/exit function can be activated or
canceled 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 sec-
onds while holding the SET switch. This indi-
cates 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 SETTINGS” in
the “4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
