four features:
.Entry/exit function
. Seat synchronization function
. Memory storage
. Setting memory function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver ’s
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the 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 the
ignition switch is pushed to the ACC
position.
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.

tion

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
