Foldable outside mirrors Fold the outside mirror by pushing it to-
ward the rear of the vehicle. AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
OPERATION The automatic drive positioner system
has two features:
O Entry/exit function (only available on
models equipped with automatic
transmission)
O Memory storage function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION (if so
equipped) This system is designed so that the driv-
er's seat and steering column will auto-
matically move when the automatic trans-
mission selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into
and out of the driver's seat more easily.
(This feature is not available on models
equipped with manual transmission.)
The driver's seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up when the
driver's door is opened with the key or ig-
nition switch in the LOCK position.
The driver's seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions:
O When the key is inserted into the igni-
tion switch after closing the driver's door, or when the driver's door is
closed after inserting the key into the
ignition switch.
O When the ignition switch is pushed
with the driver's door closed.
O When the key or ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
Initializing entry/exit function The entry/exit function can be activated
or cancelled by pushing and holding the
SET switch for more than 10 seconds
while the ignition switch is in the LOCK
position. The indicator light will blink
once when the function is cancelled, and
the indicator light will blink twice when
the function is activated. If the battery
cable is disconnected, or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be can-
celled. 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 with the ignition switch or
ignition switch in the LOCK position. The
entry/exit function will be activated.SPA1829

SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of
dialect users to train the system to improve
recognition accuracy. By repeating a
number of commands, the users can create
a voice model of their own voice that is
stored in the system. The system is ca-
pable of storing a different speaker adapta-
tion model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will
use memory A to store the model. If
memory A is in use and memory B is
available, the system will use memory B
to store the model. If both of the memory
locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location
should be overwritten.
Training procedure The procedure for training a voice is as
follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably
quiet outdoor location. 2. Sit in the driver's seat with the engine
running, the parking brake on, and the

PHONE/SEND ( ) button for the
hands-free phone system to enter the
speaker adaptation mode or press the
PHONE/END ( ) button to select a
different language.º
5. Press the button.
For information on selecting a dif-
ferent language, see ªChoosing a lan-
guageº earlier in this section.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is se-
lected automatically. If both memory
locations are already in use, the
system will prompt you to overwrite
one. Follow the instructions provided
by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you
are ready to begin, the press the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow

Remember, drinking and driving don't
mix!
And that's true for drugs too (over the
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).
Don't drive if your ability to operate your
vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or
some other physical condition.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (for AWD
models)
WARNINGO Do not drive beyond the performance ca-
pability of the tires, even with AWD en-
gaged. Accelerating quickly, sharp
steering maneuvers or sudden braking
may cause loss of control.
O Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or
radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the rear
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully. O This vehicle is not designed for off-road
(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy
or muddy roads that tires may get stuck
in.
O Do not place an AWD equipped vehicle
on a two wheel dynamometer or raise
two wheels off the ground and shift the
transmission to any D (drive) or R (re-
verse) position. Doing so may result in
transmission damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury.
O Never operate the accelerator pedal with
any wheels raised and the other wheels
on the ground while jacking up or with
any wheels on a roller and the other
wheels on the ground. Otherwise, the
vehicle could lurch forward or backward.
O When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION The ignition lock is designed so the key
cannot be turned to the LOCK position
and removed until the selector lever is
moved to the P (Park) position.
When removing the key from the ignition
switch, make sure the selector lever is in
the P (Park) position.
If the selector lever is not returned to the
P (Park) position, the key cannot be
moved to the LOCK position. SSD0392
