Using panic alarm
If you are near your vehicle and feel
threatened, you may activate the alarm to
call attention as follows:
1. Push the PANIC
button*Don the
Intelligent Key for more than 1 second.
2. The theft warning alarm and headlights will stay on for 25 seconds.

Remote engine start (if so
equipped)
The remote engine startbutton*Eis
on the Intelligent Key if the vehicle has
remote engine start function. This function
allows the engine to start from outside the
vehicle.
Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote start,
if the system was on the last time the ignition switch was turned off.
Laws in some local communities may
restrict the use of remote starters. For
example, some laws require a person using
remote start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any require-
ments.
Other conditions may affect the remote
engine start function. See
“Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” later in
this section.
Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.
See “Intelligent Key system” earlier in this
section.
Remote engine start operating range:
The remote engine start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the
vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower,
and the Intelligent Key may not function
properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
Operating a remote engine start:
To use the remote start function to start the
engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the LOCK
button to lock all
doors.
3. Within 5 seconds push and hold the remote engine start
button until
the turn signal lights illuminate. If the
vehicle is not within view, push and
hold the remote engine start
button for about 2 seconds.
The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
. The front parking lights will turn on and
remain on as long as the engine is
running.
. The doors will be locked and the air
conditioner system may turn on.
. The engine will continue to run for
about 10 minutes. Repeat the steps to
extend the time for an additional 10
minutes. See “Extending engine run
time” later in this section.

ing the vehicle” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.
Extending engine run time:
The remote engine start function can be
extended one time by performing the steps
listed in “Operating a remote engine start”
earlier in this section. Run time will be
calculated as follows:
. The first 10 minute run time will start
when the remote engine start function
is performed.
. The second 10 minutes will start
immediately when the remote engine
start function is performed. For exam-
ple, if the engine has been running for
5 minutes, and 10 minutes are added,
the engine will run for a total of 15
minutes.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a
single start with an extension, are allowed
between ignition cycles.
The ignition switch must be cycled to the
ON position and then back to the OFF
position before the remote engine start
procedure can be used again. Canceling a remote engine start:
To cancel a remote start, perform one of
the following:
. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle
and push and hold remote engine start
button*Euntil the front parking
lights turn off.
. Turn on the hazard indicator flashers.
. Cycle the ignition switch ON and then
OFF.
Conditions the remote engine start will not
work:
The remote engine start will not operate if
any of the following conditions are present:
. The ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
. The hood is not securely closed.
. The hazard indicator flashers are on.
. The Intelligent Key warning light re-
mains on in the vehicle information
display.
. An Intelligent Key is left inside the
vehicle.

Intelligent Key in the vehicle but the
brake pedal is not depressed.
. Two remote engine starts, or a single
remote start with an extension, have
already been used.
. The shift lever is not in the P (Park)
position.
The remote engine start may display an
indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play. For an explanation of the indicator,
see “Operational indicators” in the“2.
Instruments and controls” section.

SET/memory switches
The automatic drive positioner system has
three features:
. Entry/exit function
. Memory storage
. Setting memory function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the automatic transmis-
sion shift 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 func-
tion
The shift 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 seconds while
holding the SET switch. This indicates
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 acti-
vated 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” settings. (See “Vehicle
information and settings” in the“4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section.)
Initialize entry/exit function
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 turned
from the ON position to the LOCK position.
The entry/exit function will be activated.
