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.
SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION
The seat synchronization function automatically
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 mir-
rors 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 necessary because the
seat may not be adjusted for the driving posi-
tion. Note that the function is set to disabled as
the factory default setting.The seat synchronization function operates un-
der the following conditions:
●
The ignition switch is in the ON position.
● The selector lever is in the P (Park) position
(Automatic Transmission models) or the
parking brake is applied (Manual Transmis-
sion 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 adjust-
ing the steering wheel and outside mirrors
manually for your best driving position and then
drive the vehicle above 4 MPH (7 km/h).

The seat synchronization function can be acti-
vated 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 sec-
onds while holding the SET switch. This indi-
cates 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 memory 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 posi-
tion.
4. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column and outside mirrors to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjust-
ing switch. For additional information, see
“SEATS” in the “1. Safety — Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system”
section and “TILT/TELESCOPIC STEERING”
page 3-23 and “OUTSIDE MIRRORS” ear-
lier in this section. 5. Push the SET switch and, within 5 sec-
onds, 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 approximately 5 sec-
onds after pushing the switch.

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 approximately
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 procedure to
switch 1 or 2 and linking Intelligent Key
