WARNING
●Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident,
you could be thrown into it and receive
neck or other serious injuries. You
could also slide under the lap belt and
receive serious internal injuries. ●
For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and up-
right in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat properly. For
additional information, refer to “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” in this section.
●
After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
● Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents. ●
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.
● Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. The seat may move
suddenly and could cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle.
● The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

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.

STEERING WHEEL
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29
TILT AND TELESCOPIC OPERATION
To adjust the steering wheel move the switch1
in the following directions:● Adjust the steering wheel up or down in
direction
2to the desired tilt position.
● Adjust the steering wheel forward or back-
ward in direction
3to the desired tele-
scopic 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 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 (if so equipped)
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.
For additional information, refer to “Automatic
drive positioner” in this section.

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. Place the ignition in the ON or ACC position (the vehicle should be stopped while setting
the memory) .
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column, and outside mirrors to the desired positions
by manually operating each adjusting
switch. For additional information, refer to

3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
4. The indicator light for the pushed memory switch will come ON and stay ON for ap-
proximately 5 seconds.
5. The chime will sound if the memory has been stored.
NOTE:
If a NEW memory position is stored in the
same memory switch, the previous memory
position will be overwritten by the new
stored position.
Confirming memory storage
Push the SET switch. ● If a memory position has not been stored in
the switch (1 or 2) the indicator light for the
respective switch will come ON for approxi-
mately 0.5 seconds.
● If a memory position has been stored in the
switch (1 or 2) then the indicator light for the
respective switch will stay ON for approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
Linking a key fob to a stored memory
position
Each key fob can be linked to a stored memory
position (memory switch 1 or 2) with the follow-
ing procedure.
1. Follow steps 1-3 in the “Memory Storage Function” section for storing the memory
position.
2. The indicator light for the pushed memory switch will come ON. While the indicator
light is ON for 5 seconds, press the
button on the key fob. The indicator light of
the linked memory switch will blink. After the
indicator light goes off, the key fob is linked
to that memory setting.
Once it is linked, when ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position, pressing the
button on
the key fob will move the driver’s seat, steering
wheel and outside mirrors to the linked memory
switch position.
NOTE:
If a NEW memory position is stored in the
linked memory switch, then the key fob will
link the NEW position and overwrites the
previous position.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and automatic operation steering column will au-
tomatically 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 and the
steering column will move up:
● When the driver’s door is opened with the
ignition switch placed in the OFF position.
● When the ignition switch is changed from
ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position: ● When the ignition switch is changed from
ACC or ON while the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed through the Vehicle Settings in the vehicle
information display by performing the following: ● Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
● Switch the Exit Steering UP from ON to
OFF.

opens, the stored memory positions will be lost
and some of the functions will be restricted:1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).
OR 2. Open and close the driver’s door more than two times with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
