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) GUID-30995ABA-8234-45F4-9B5C-ECA6C07F73E6
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 GUID-8D71F741-560B-4B4E-AA55-F9F223C96E4F
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

the “ Comfort ” settings. (See “ Vehicle
information and settings ” (P.4-9).)
Initialize entry/exit function GUID-0EEBBCEC-2899-4DC8-AE43-1CC42FE3C5C1
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 GUID-44A9BCE7-C5A3-4DE5-84C7-DAFAF434BFA8
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. 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).

zation function GUID-9FA1381E-62FE-4338-8BE9-EF06F61AFC12
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 GUID-A3BE9A91-CE23-4574-92F2-3FB031E53D7E
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.

If memory is stored in the same
memory switch, the previous memory
will be deleted.
Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position GUID-260E8272-8777-4E19-9288-E40B723FABBA
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.
