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 posi-
tion 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.
TILT AND TELESCOPIC OPERATION
To adjust the steering wheel move the switch1
in the following directions:
● Adjust the steering wheel forward or back-
ward in direction
3to the desired tele-
scopic position.
● Adjust the steering wheel up or down in
direction
2to the desired tilt position.
CAUTION
For vehicles with automatic drive posi-
tioner: Failure to reset the tilt and tele-
scoping functions of the steering wheel,
after the vehicle’s battery has been dis-
charged, may prevent the steering wheel
position from being adjusted.
For vehicles with automatic drive positioner: Both
the tilt and telescopic steering operation must be
reset after the vehicle’s battery has been dis-
charged in order to prevent the tilt and telescopic
operation from locking in one position. When the
battery has been recharged or replaced, perform
the following: ● For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
1so the steering wheel moves to the most
forward and backward position
3that can
be reached.
● For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
2that can be reached.
Performing these operations resets the range of
the steering wheel’s tilt and telescopic function.

MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering col-
umn, and outside mirrors can be stored in the
automatic drive positioner memory. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.1. Set the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column, and outside mirrors to the desired positions
by manually operating each adjusting
switch. For additional information, see
“Seats” in the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system” section, and
“Tilt/Telescopic Steering” and “Outside mir-
rors” 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) . A chime will sound if the
memory has been stored correctly (if so
equipped) .
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. 2. While the indicator light for the memory
switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
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.
With the ignition switch placed in the OFF posi-
tion, press the
button on the keyfob. The
driver’s seat, steering wheel 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.
Reverse tilt-down feature (if so
equipped)
The reverse tilt-down feature will turn the se-
lected outside mirror surface downward to pro-
vide better rear visibility close to the vehicle.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
turn the outside mirror control switch to the left or
right position. Only one mirror can be selected at
a time.
Move the shift lever to R (Reverse) . The selected
mirror will turn downward.

The selected mirror surface will return to its origi-
nal position when any of the following have oc-
curred:● The shift lever is moved to any position other
than R (Reverse) .
● The outside mirror control switch is set to the
neutral or center position.
● The ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in the
neutral position, neither mirror will turn
downward when the shift lever is moved to
R (Reverse) .
Seat synchronization function
The seat synchronization function automatically
adjusts the positions of the steering wheel and
outside mirrors when the seat is adjusted using
the power seat switches.
However, the steering wheel and outside mirrors
will not move if the seat is adjusted over the
maximum thresholds. The system considers that
the steering wheel and outside mirror adjust-
ments are not necessary because the seat may not be adjusted for the driving position. Note that
the function is set to disabled as the factory
default setting.
The seat synchronization function operates under
the following conditions:
● The ignition switch is in the ON position.
● The shift lever is in the P (Park) position.
If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the function is
automatically disabled. Restart the function by
selecting a previously stored seat memory posi-
tion using the memory switches (1 or 2) . An
Intelligent Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to restart
the function.
If a seat position was not previously stored in the
seat memory, restart the function by adjusting the
steering wheel and outside mirrors manually for
your best driving position and then drive the
vehicle above 4 MPH (7 km/h).
Cancel or activate seat synchronization
function
The shift lever must be in the P (Park) position
with the ignition switch placed in the ACC posi-
tion.
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” in this sec-
tion.
