selected position.
CAUTION
. Do not lean against a partially opened
lift gate. The lift gate may close un-
expectedly and may result in personal
injury.
. If the vehicle was driven by another
person, confirm the garage mode func-
tion before opening the lift gate in a
location with low clearance. The lift gate
can be damaged if the previous driver
changed or canceled the setting.
. If the switch is pressed two times
quickly (1 second or less) when opening
the lift gate from the fully closed
position, the system may not recognize
the second switch press. The lift gate
will continue to open. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a mal- function. However, this may result in
minor personal injury if someone is
behind the vehicle when the switch is
activated, or damage to the lift gate.
NOTE:
.
To avoid damaging the lift gate system,
do not manually force the lift gate to
open or close when the lift gate is
moving. When manually operating the
lift gate from the full close or full open
position, do not use excessive force.
Using excessive force may damage the
system.
. Do not install accessories such as bike
racks onto the lift gate. The additional
weight of these accessories may cause
the lift gate to operate slowly or to not
open completely. This is a normal
operation and does not indicate a
malfunction. The lift gate will operate
normally when the accessory is re-
moved.
. If the lift gate is opened when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope, the
lift gate may not open to the expected
position. This is a normal operation
and does not indicate a malfunction. .
If the automatic lift gate is operated
continuously for approximately 180
seconds, the system automatically
turns off to prevent overheating. The
lift gate cannot be opened using the
switches. The system resets and opera-
tion returns to normal after approxi-
mately 180 seconds. This is a normal
operation and does not indicate a
malfunction.
. The lift gate may automatically reverse
direction if the lift gate is operating
and passengers enter/exit the vehicle.
This is a normal operation and does
not indicate a malfunction.
. The lift gate must be operated manually
if the battery is disconnected or
discharged.
. If the lift gate is not activated due to a
low voltage (less than approximately
11V), operate the lift gate with the
engine running.
Manual mode
If power operation is not available, the lift
gate can be operated manually. Power
operation may not be available if multiple
obstacles have been detected in a single
power cycle or if the battery voltage is low.

FUEL-FILLER DOOR

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.
SPA2525
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 adjustments3-33

Push the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion, and then push thebutton on the

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

from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by lowering the treble
setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct
and reflected signals reach the receiver at
the same time. The signals may cancel
each other, resulting in momentary flutter
or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics.
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur
for several seconds during ionospheric
turbulence even in areas where no obsta-cles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
Satellite radio reception:
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large
building for the satellite radio to receive
all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
XM Satellite Radio
®subscription. The
satellite radio is not available in Alaska,
Hawaii and Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
