MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Two positions for the driver’s seat and
outside mirrors can be stored in the
automatic drive positioner memory. Fol-
low these procedures to use the memory
system.
1. Adjust the driver’s seat and outsidemirrors to the desired positions by
manually operating each adjusting
switch. For additional information, re-
fer to “Seats” (P.1-3) and “Outside
mirrors” (P.3-33).
2. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1
or 2). 3. The indicator light for the pushed
memory switch will come on and stay
on for approximately 5 seconds.
4. 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 approximately
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 approximately 5 seconds.
Linking an Intelligent Key to a
stored memory position
Each Intelligent Key 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 sto- rage function” (P.3-35) 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 Intelligent
Key. The indicator light of the linked
memory switch will blink. After the
indicator light goes off, the Intelligent
Key is linked to that memory setting.
Once it is linked, when ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position, pressing the
button on the Intelligent Key will
move the driver’s seat and outside mir-
rors to the linked memory switch posi-
tion.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is stored in
the linked memory switch, then the
Intelligent Key will link the new position
and overwrites the previous position.
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 placed in the OFF
position.
. When the ignition switch is changed
from ON to OFF with the driver’s door
open.
The driver’s seat will return to the pre-

INTELLIGENT AROUND VIEW®
MONITOR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for Intelligent Around View®
Monitor. Failure to operate the vehi-
cle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. Do not use the Intelligent Around
View® Monitor with the outside
mirrors in the stored position,
and make sure that the liftgate
is securely closed when operating
the vehicle using the Intelligent
Around View® Monitor.
. The apparent distance between
objects viewed on the Intelligent
Around View® Monitor differs
from the actual distance.
. The cameras are installed above
the front grille, the outside mir-
rors and above the rear license
plate. Do not put anything on the
cameras.
. When washing the vehicle with
highpressure water, be sure not
to spray it around the cameras. Otherwise, water may enter the
camera unit causing water con-
densation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the cameras. They
are precision instruments. Doing
so could cause a malfunction or
cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.

5-12Starting and driving
similar equipment even if the
other two wheels are raised off
the ground. Make sure you inform
test facility personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with AWD
before it is placed on a dynam-
ometer. Using the wrong test
equipment may result in drive-
train damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. When a wheel is off the ground
due to an unlevel surface, do not
spin the wheel excessively (AWD
model).
. Accelerating quickly, sharp steer-
ing maneuvers or sudden braking
may cause loss of control.
. If at all possible, avoid sharp
turning maneuvers, particularly
at high speeds. Your vehicle has
a higher center of gravity than a
conventional passenger car. The
vehicle is not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger cars.
Failure to operate this vehicle
correctly could result in loss of
control and/or a rollover acci-
dent. .
Always use tires of the same type,
size, brand, construction (bias,
bias-belted or radial), and tread
pattern on all four wheels. Install
traction devices on the front
wheels when driving on slippery
roads and drive carefully.
. Be sure to check the brakes im-
mediately after driving in mud or
water. See “Brake system” (P.5-
127) for wet brakes.
. Avoid parking your vehicle on
steep hills. If you get out of the
vehicle and it rolls forward, back-
ward or sideways, you could be
injured.
. Whenever you drive off-road
through sand, mud or water as
deep as the wheel hub, more
frequent maintenance may be
required. See the maintenance
schedule shown in the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section.
. Spinning the front wheels on
slippery surfaces may cause the
AWD warning message to display
and the AWD system to automa-
tically switch from the AWD mode
to the 2WD mode. This could
reduce traction. (AWD models)WARNING
Never remove the key or place the
ignition switch in the LOCK position
while driving. The steering wheel will
lock and could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle. This could
result in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.
IGNITION SWITCH (models without
Intelligent Key system)
JVS1067X
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS-
MISSION (CVT)
The ignition lock is designed so that the
ignition switch cannot be turned to the
LOCK position until the shift lever is
moved to the P (Park) position. When
moving the ignition switch to the LOCK
position, to remove the key from the
ignition switch, make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position.
When the ignition switch cannot be
turned to the LOCK position:
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)position. 2. Turn the ignition switch slightly in the
ON direction.
3. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
4. Remove the key.
If the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position, the shift lever cannot be
moved from the P (Park) position. The
shift lever can be moved if the ignition
switch is in the ON position with the foot
brake pedal depressed.
JVS1067X
MANUAL TRANSMISSION (MT)
The ignition switch includes a device that
helps prevent accidental removal of the
key while driving.
The key can only be removed when the
ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
Starting and driving5-13
5-14Starting and driving
KEY POSITIONS
LOCK: Normal parking position (0)
OFF: (Not used) (1)
This position activates electrical acces-
sories such as the radio when the engine
is not running.
ON: Normal operating position (2)
This position turns on the ignition system
and the electrical accessories.
START: (3)
This position starts the engine. As soon as
the engine has started, release the key. It
automatically returns to the ON position.
WARNING
Do not operate the push-button
ignition switch while driving the ve-
hicle except in an emergency. (The
engine will stop when the ignition
switch is pushed 3 consecutive times
or the ignition switch is pushed and
held for more than 2 seconds.) If the
engine stops while the vehicle is
being driven, this could lead to a
crash and serious injury.
Before operating the push-button igni-
tion switch, be sure to move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position (for Con-
tinuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
models) or the shift lever to the N
(Neutral) position (for Manual Transmis-
sion (MT) models).

OPERATING RANGE FOR ENGINE
START FUNCTION
The Intelligent Key can only be used for
starting the engine when the Intelligent
Key is within the specified operating
range
.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged or strong radio waves are
present near the operating location, the
Intelligent Key system’s operating range
becomes narrower and may not function
properly.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even
someone who does not carry the Intelli-
gent Key, to push the ignition switch to
