VANITY MIRROR
To use the front vanity mirror, pull down the sun
visor and pull up the cover.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 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”
AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER (if
so equipped)
settings. (See “Vehicle information and settings
(models with center multi-function control pa-
nel)” (P.4-10) .)
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.

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. Adjust the driver’s seat and outside mirrorsto the desired positions by manually operat-

3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
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.

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

seat is returning to the previous positions
(entry/exit function) .)
. When the driver’s door remains open for
more than 45 seconds and the ignition switch is not in the ON position.
