3-22Pre-driving checks and adjustments

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.
