VANITY MIRROR

To use the front vanity mirror, pull down
the sun visor and pull up the cover.

The automatic drive positioner system has
three features:

. Entry/exit function (Automatic Trans-

mission Sedan models)

. Seat synchronization function
. Memory storage

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION (Automatic
Transmission Sedan models)

This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the automatic transmis-
sion selector 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 wheel will move up when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the LOCK position.

The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions when one
of the following is operated:

. When the ignition switch is pushed to

the ACC position after the driver’s door
is closed.

. When the ignition switch is pushed to

the ON position.

. When the Intelligent Key is inserted into

the port after the driver’s door is
closed.

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 func-
tion

The selector 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 indicator lights on the memory
switches (1 and 2) will blink once when
the function is canceled, and the indicator
lights will blink twice when the function is
activated. Note that the indicator lights
may illuminate after 5 seconds while
holding the SET switch. This indicates
readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to
a stored memory position. Keep the SET
switch pressed for more than 10 seconds
to turn on or off the entry/exit function.

The entry/exit function can also be acti-
vated 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 “Vehicle
information and settings” (P.4-9).)

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 be activated.

SPA2322

SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION

The seat synchronization function automa-
tically adjusts the positions of the steering
wheel and outside mirrors when the seat is
adjusted using the power seat switches.

However, the steering wheel and outside
mirrors will not move if the seat is adjusted
over the maximum thresholds. The system
considers that the steering wheel and
outside mirror adjustments are not neces-
sary because the seat may not be adjusted
for the driving position. Note that the
function is set to disabled as the factory
default setting.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

The seat synchronization function operates
under the following conditions:

. The ignition switch is in the ON posi-

tion.

. The selector lever is in the P (Park)

position (Automatic Transmission mod-
els) or the parking brake is applied
(Manual Transmission models).

. The seatback is raised (Coupe).
If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the
function is automatically disabled. Restart
the function by selecting a previously
stored seat memory position using the
memory switches (1 or 2). An Intelligent
Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to
restart the function.

If a seat position was not previously stored
in the seat memory, restart the function by
adjusting the steering wheel and outside
mirrors manually for your best driving
position and then drive the vehicle above
4 MPH (7 km/h).

Cancel or activate seat synchroni-
zation function

For Automatic Transmission models:

The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the ACC
position.

For Manual Transmission models:

The parking brake must be applied with
the ignition switch in the ACC position.

The seat synchronization function can be
activated or canceled by pushing and
holding the SET switch for more than 10
seconds while the ignition switch is in the
ACC position.

The indicator lights on the memory
switches (1 and 2) will blink once when
the function is canceled, and the indicator
lights will blink twice when the function is
activated. Note that the indicator lights
may illuminate after 5 seconds while
holding the SET switch. This indicates
readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to
a stored memory position. Keep the SET
switch pushed for more than 10 seconds to
turn on or off the seat synchronization
function.

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 mem-
ory system.

1. Automatic transmission models:

Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.

Manual transmission models:

Apply the parking brake.

2. Raise the seatback (Coupe).

3. Push the ignition switch to the ON

position.

4. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering col-

umn and outside mirrors to the desired
positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seats” (P.1-2) and “Tilt/
telescopic steering” (P.3-25) and “Out-
side mirrors” (P.3-29).

5. 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 approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the

switch.

If memory is stored in the same
memory switch, the previous memory
will be deleted.

Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position

The Intelligent Key can be linked to a
stored memory position with the following
procedure.

1. Follow the steps for storing a memory

position.

2. While the indicator light for the memory

switch being set is illuminated for 5
seconds, push the

button on the

Intelligent Key. If the indicator light
blinks, the Intelligent Key is linked to
that memory setting.

Push the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion, 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 approxi-
mately 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 Intelligent Keys are added to

your vehicle, the memory storage pro-
cedure to switch 1 or 2 and linking
Intelligent Key procedure to a stored
memory position should be performed
again for each Intelligent Key. For
additional Intelligent Key information,
see “Keys” (P.3-2).

Selecting the memorized position

1. Automatic transmission models:

Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.

Manual transmission models:

Apply the parking brake.

2. Raise the seatback (Coupe).

3. Use one of the following methods to

move the driver’s seat, the outside
mirrors and the steering wheel.

Push the ignition switch to the ON
position and push the memory
switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1
second.

Within 45 seconds of opening the
driver’s door, push the memory
switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1
second.
The driver’s seat, steering column

and outside mirrors will move to the
memorized position with the indica-

tor light flashing, and then the light

will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.

For manual transmission models, the
memory positions can be selected even
when the engine is running. In this case,
move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position and apply the parking brake.
Then, perform step 2.
