unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, including entrapment in win-
dows or inadvertent door lock activation,
do not leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unattended

CAUTION
For vehicles with automatic drive posi-
tioner: Failure to reset the tilt and telescop-
ing functions of the steering wheel, after
the vehicle’s battery has been discharged,
may prevent the steering wheel position
from being adjusted.
For vehicles with automatic drive positioner:
Both the tilt and telescopic steering opera-
tion must be reset after the vehicle’s battery
has been discharged in order to prevent the
tilt and telescopic operation from locking in
one position. When the battery has been re-
charged 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 automati-
cally 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 “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in this section.

Confirming memory storage
Push the SET switch.∙ 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
approximately 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 following 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
hazard lights will flash twice. The indica-
tor light of the linked memory switch will
blink and click twice. After the indicator
light goes off, the key fob is linked to that
memory setting. Once it is linked, when the 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 mir-
rors 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 pre-
vious position.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and automatic operation steering col-
umn 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 and the
steering column will move up:
∙ When the driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch placed in the OFF posi-
tion.
∙ When the ignition switch is changed from ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open. The driver’s seat and steering wheel will re-
turn 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
canceled 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.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse 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.
