3-4Pre-driving checks and adjustments
WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally opening
the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.

LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to
lock or unlock all doors simultaneously
using the mechanical key.
.Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to
the front of the vehicle
*1will lock all
doors.
. Turning the driver’s door key cylinder
once to the rear of the vehicle
*2will
unlock the driver’s door. After returning
the key to the neutral position
*3,
turning it to the rear again within 60
seconds will unlock all doors. .
You can switch the lock system to the
mode that allows you to open all the
doors when the key is turned once.
(See “How to use SETTING button” (P.4-
14).)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also allows
you to open and close the window that is
equipped with the automatic open/close
function. (See “Power windows” (P.2-50).)
To open the window, turn the driver’s door
key cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for
longer than 1 second. The door is unlocked
and the window keeps opening while
turning the key.
This function can also be performed by
pushing and holding the door UNLOCK
button of the Intelligent Key. (See “Remote
keyless entry system” (P.3-14).)
To close the window, turn the driver’s door
key cylinder to the front of the vehicle for
longer than 1 second. The door is locked
and the window keeps closing while turn-
ing the key.
DOORS
SPA2802
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears on
the dot matrix liquid crystal display when
the fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly
after the vehicle has been refueled. It may
take a few driving trips for the message to
be displayed.
To turn off the warning, perform the
following:
1. Remove and install the fuel-filler cap assoon as possible. (See “Fuel-filler cap”
(P.3-21).)
2. Tighten the fuel-filler cap until a single click is heard. 3. Push the reset switch
*Aon the right
side of the combination meter panel for
about 1 second to turn off the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning after tightening the
fuel cap.WARNING
. Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-23
TILT/TELESCOPIC STEERING
Cancel or activate seat synchroni-
zation function
For Automatic Transmission models:
The shift lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
For Manual Transmission models:
The parking brake must be applied with
the ignition switch in the ACC position.
The seat synchronization function can be
activated or canceled by pushing and
holding the SET switch for more than 10
seconds while the ignition switch is in the
ACC position.
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 pushed for more than 10 seconds to
turn on or off the seat synchronization
function.
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored
in the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the mem-
ory system.
1.Automatic transmission models:
Move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual transmission models:
Apply the parking brake.
2. Raise the seatback.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering col- umn and outside mirrors to the desired
positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seats”(P.1-2) and “Tilt/
telescopic steering” (P.3-23) and“Out-
side mirrors” (P.3-26).
5. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, 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 approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
If memory is stored in the same
memory switch, the previous memory
will be deleted.
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 memory
position.
2. While the indicator light for the memory switch being set is illuminated for 5
seconds, push the
button on the
Intelligent Key. If the indicator light
blinks, the Intelligent Key is linked to
that memory setting.
Push the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion, and then push the
button on the
Intelligent Key. The driver’s seat, steering
wheel and outside mirrors will move to the
memorized position.
Confirming memory storage
. 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
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29
3-30Pre-driving checks and adjustments
approximately 0.5 second. When the
memory has stored in 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 will be
canceled. In this case, reset the desired
position using the previous procedure.
. If optional Intelligent Keys are added to
your vehicle, the memory storage pro-
cedure to switch 1 or 2 and linking
Intelligent Key procedure to a stored
memory position should be performed
again for each Intelligent Key. For
additional Intelligent Key information,
see “Keys” (P.3-2).
Selecting the memorized position
1.Automatic transmission models:
Move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual transmission models:
Apply the parking brake.
2. Raise the seatback.
3. Use one of the following methods to move the driver’ s seat, the outside
mirrors and the steering wheel.
.Push the ignition switch to the ON position and push the memory
switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1
second.
.Within 45 seconds of opening the
driver’ 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
memorized position with the indica-
tor light flashing, and then the light
will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.
For manual transmission models, the
memory positions can be selected even
when the engine is running. In this case,
move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position and apply the parking brake.
Then, perform step 2.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will
not work or will stop operating under the
following conditions:
. When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH
(7 km/h).
. When the adjusting switch for the
driver’s seat and steering column is
turned on while the automatic drive positioner is operating.
. When the memory switch 1 or 2 is not
pushed for at least 1 second.
. When the seat, steering column and
outside mirrors have already been
moved to the memorized position.
. When no position is stored in the
memory switch.
. When the parking brake is released (MT
models).
. When the speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h) while the parking brake is
applied (MT models).
To restart the drive positioner system,
move the parking brake to off and on.
. When the engine is started while
moving the automatic drive positioner.
. When the AT shift lever is moved from
the P (Park) position to any other
position.
. When the driver’s door remains open
for more than 45 seconds and the
ignition switch is not in the ON posi-
tion.
. When the seatback is folded.
. While the walk-in function operates.
. The seat synchronization function is
automatically disabled if the outside
4-58Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
distract the driver and may cause a
collision and serious personal injury or
death.
