Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-21

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 tilt operation: Adjust the switch
1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
2that can be reached.
●For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
1so the steering wheel moves to the most
forward and backward position
3that can
be reached.
Performing these operations resets the range of
the steering wheel’s tilt and telescopic function.
Entry/Exit function
The automatic drive positioner system will make
the steering wheel move up automatically when
the driver’s door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the driver
get into and out of the seat more easily. The
steering wheel moves back into position when
the driver’s door is closed and the ignition switch
is pushed.
