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

HOW TO USE TOUCH SCREEN
(models with navigation system) GUID-6611C03E-CDBF-4D30-B540-4F9F66BCB2C5
CAUTION. The glass screen on the liquid crystal
display may break if it is hit with a hard
or sharp object. Do not touch the glass if
it breaks. Doing so could result in an injury.
. To clean the display, use a soft, dry
cloth. If additional cleaning is necessary,
use a small amount of neutral detergent
with a soft cloth. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or any
kind of solvent or paper towel with a
chemical cleaning agent. They will
scratch or deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid such as water
or car fragrance on the display. Contact
with liquid will cause the system to
malfunction.
To ensure safe driving, some functions
cannot be operated while driving.
The on-screen functions that are not
available while driving will be “ grayed
out ” or muted.
Park the vehicle in a safe location and then
operate the navigation system.
WARNING . ALWAYS give your full attention to
driving.
. Avoid using vehicle features that could distract you. If distracted, you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
