The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
.Entry/exit function
. Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
will automatically move when the 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 when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch
in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat 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 adjusting switch is operated
when the seat is at the exit position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit function
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 activated or
canceled if the “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit”
key is turned to ON or OFF in the “Comfort”
settings. (See “Vehicle information and settings
(models with center multi-function control pa-
nel)” (P.4-8) .)
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 placed in the LOCK position from the
ON position. The entry/exit function will be
activated.
SPA2855
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat and outside
mirrors can be stored in the automatic drive
positioner memory. Follow this procedure to use
the memory system.
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat and outside mirrors
to the desired positions by manually operat-
ing each adjusting switch. For additional
information, see “Seats” (P.1-2) and “Out-
side mirrors” (P.3-35) .
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-37
AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER (if
so equipped)
3-38Pre-driving checks and adjustments
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will stay on for approximately 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 mem-
ory position
The Intelligent Key can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following procedure.
1. Follow one of the steps for storing a memoryposition.
. While the indicator light for the memory
switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, push the
button on the Intelligent
Key.
. Push the ignition switch to the OFF position,
and then push the SET switch. Push the
button while pushing the memory button
while the indicator light stays on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
If the indicator light blinks, the Intelligent Key is
linked to that memory setting.
Push the ignition switch to the OFF position, and
then push the
button on the Intelligent Key.
The driver’s seat 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 approximately 0.5
second. When the memory has stored in
position, the indicator light will stay on for
approximately 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 keys are added to your vehicle,
the memory storage procedure to switch 1
or 2 and linking Intelligent Key procedure to
a stored memory position should be per-
formed again for each Intelligent Key. For
additional Intelligent Key information, see
“Keys” (P.3-3) .
Selecting the memorized position
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Use one of the following methods to move
the driver’s seat and outside mirrors.
.Push the ignition switch to the ONposition and push the memory switch (1
or 2) .
.Within 45 seconds of opening thedriver’s door, push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
The driver’s seat and outside mirrors will
move to the memorized position with the
indicator light flashing, and then the light will
stay on for approximately 5 seconds.
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) (entry/exit function) .
. When the vehicle is driven (memory sto-
rage).
. When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat is turned on while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.
. When the driver’s seat and outside mirrors
have already been moved to the memorized
position.
. When no position is stored in the memory
switch.
. When the engine is started while moving the
automatic drive positioner.
. When the shift lever is moved from the P
(Park) position to any other position. (How-
ever, it will not be canceled while the driver’s
seat is returning to the previous positions
(entry/exit function).)
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking.
When the shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows
the view to the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
.The RearView Monitor is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute to
check behind the vehicle when
backing up.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
. Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the RearView Monitor
will appear visually opposite like
ones viewed in the inside and out-
side mirrors.
. Make sure that the lift gate is
securely closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the
corner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView Monitor because of its monitoring range
limitation.
. Do not put anything on the Rear-
View camera. The RearView camera
is installed above the license plate.
. When washing the vehicle with
high-pressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the camera. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise, it
may malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the lens.

Predictive course lines*6(if so
equipped):
Indicate the predictive course when backing up.
The predictive course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predictive course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.
WARNING
. Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predictive course
line may be displayed incorrectly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rear view camera is not installed in the rear center of the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used
as a reference only when the vehicle
is on a level paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is
for reference only and may be
different from the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
. When backing-up the vehicle up a
hill objects viewed in the monitor
are further than they appear. When
backing-up the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge dis-
tances to other objects.

There are some areas where the system will not
show objects. When in the front or the rear view
display, an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed
*1. When in the
bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam of the
camera viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor
*2.
WARNING
. The Around View Monitor is a con-
venience but it is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it
has areas where objects cannot be
viewed. The four corners of the
vehicle in particular, are blind spots
where objects do not appear in the
bird’s-eye, front, or rear views. Al-
ways look out the windows and
check with your own eyes to be sure
that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always oper-
ate the vehicle slowly.
. Do not use the Around View Monitor
with the outside mirror in the stored
position, and make sure that the lift
gate is securely closed when oper-
ating the vehicle using the Around
View Monitor.
. The distance between objects
viewed on the Around View Monitor
differs from the actual distance.
. The cameras are installed above the
front grille, the outside mirrors and
above the rear license plate. Do not
put anything on the cameras. .
When washing the vehicle with
highpressure water, be sure not to
spray it around the cameras. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
. Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so
could cause a malfunction or cause
damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning
dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.

HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used
as a reference only when the vehicle
is on a paved, level surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is
for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
. Use the displayed lines and the bird-
eye view as a reference. The lines
and the bird-eye view are greatly
affected by the number of occu-
pants, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predictive course
line and the bird-eye view may be
displayed incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
further than they appear. When
driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the mirrors or actually look to properly
judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.

The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
WARNING
. The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view may differ
from the actual distance. Objects in
the rear view will appear visually
opposite from those viewed in the
inside and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines on the rear view
will appear slightly off to the right
because the rear view camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
When the monitor displays the front
view and the steering wheel turns about
90 degrees or less from the neutral

Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
*1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the distance between objects
viewed in the bird’s-eye view differs from the
actual distance.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
*2are
indicated in black.
After the ignition switch is turned on, the
nonviewable area
*2is highlighted in yellow
for 3 seconds after the bird’s-eye view is displayed.
In addition, the non-viewable corners are dis-
played in red (blink for the first 3 seconds)
*3to remind the drivers to be cautious.
WARNING
.
Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear further than the actual dis-
tance because the bird’s-eye view is
a pseudo view that is processed by
combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the
front and the rear of the vehicle.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or
vehicle, may be misaligned or not
displayed at the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera
position alters.
. A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned and is not seen as being
straight at the seam of the views.
The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the
vehicle.
