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 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 entry/exit function can also be activated 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
“How to use SETTING button” (P.4-13) .)
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 beactivated.
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored in the
automatic drive positioner memory. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. 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” (P.1-
2) and “Tilt/telescopic steering” (P.3-29)
and “Outside mirrors” (P.3-31) .
3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at
least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will stay on for approximately 5
seconds after pushing the switch.
When the memory is stored in the memory
switch (1 or 2) , a buzzer will sound.
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 the steps for storing a memoryposition.
2. While the indicator light for the memory switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, push the
button on the Intelligent
Key. If the indicator light blinks, the Intelli-
gent 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, steering wheel 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.

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
OFF SWITCH
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system ON for most
driving conditions.
When the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be
reduced even if the accelerator is depressed to
the floor. If maximum engine power is needed to
free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system, push the VDC OFF switch. The VDC off
indicator light
will illuminate.Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn ON the system.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the
key hole or use the Intelligent Key system.
ANTIFREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
outside temperature will drop below 328F(0
8C) ,
check antifreeze to assure proper winter protec-
tion. For additional information, see “Engine
cooling system” (P.8-4).
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the battery
fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To
maintain maximum efficiency, the battery should
be checked regularly. For additional information,
see “Battery” (P.8-11) .
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without
antifreeze, drain the cooling system, including
the engine block. Refill before operating the
vehicle. For details, see “Engine cooling system”
(P.8-4) .
