set separate buttons for recalling and
memorizing positions.

4. If two Intelligent Keys are in the vehicle,

the system will recognize the Intelli-
gent Key that was used most recently,
such as to unlock/lock the door.

5. If there is a desire to change to another

Intelligent Key while in the vehicle, the
user must place the ignition switch in
the OFF position and initiate communi-
cation from the desired Intelligent Key.

a. Ignition from ON position to the OFF

b. Unlock door with the desired Intelli-

gent Key

should appear on the meter display.

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 wheel will move up:

∙ When the driver’s door is opened

and the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.

∙ When the ignition switch is turned from

ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.

WARNING

∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in-

structions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor system could result in
serious injury or death.

∙ RearView Monitor is a convenience

feature and is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows and check mirrors to
be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always back up
slowly.

∙ The system is designed as an aid to

the driver in showing large stationary
objects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.

∙ The distance guide line and the ve-

hicle width line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
level paved surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor is for reference
only and may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle
and displayed objects.

CAUTION
