Loose fuel cap warning
The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears on
the dot matrix liquid crystal display when
the fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly
after the vehicle has been refueled. It may
take a few driving trips for the warning to
be displayed.
To turn off the warning, perform the
following:
1. Remove and install the fuel-filler cap assoon as possible. (See “Fuel-filler cap ”
earlier in this section.)
2. Tighten the fuel-filler cap until it clicks. 3. Push the reset switch
*Aon the right
side of the combination meter panel for

WARNING
. Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver ’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.

ELECTRIC OPERATION
Tilt or telescopic operation
Move the lever to adjust the steering wheel
up or down, forward or rearward to the
desired position.
Entry/Exit function operation:
The automatic drive positioner system will
make the steering wheel move up auto-
matically when the driver’s door is opened
with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position. This lets the driver get into and
out of the seat more easily.
For more information, see “Automatic drive positioner
”later in this section.

3-28Pre-driving checks and adjustments
The automatic drive positioner system has
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.
Cancel or activate entry/exit func-
tion
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
Wheel on Exit” key or“Slide Driver Seat
Back on Exit ”key is turned to ON or OFF in
the “Comfort settings ”settings. (See “Ve-
hicle information and settings ”in the “4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems ”section.)
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.

SPA2792
SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION
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.
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).
Cancel or activate seat synchroni-
zation function
The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
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 mem-
ory system.
1. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Adjust the driver ’s seat, steering col-
umn and outside mirrors to the desired
positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seats ”in the “1. Safety —
Seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system ”section and “Tilt/
telescopic steering ”earlier in this
section and “Outside mirrors” earlier
in this section.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, 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 approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the
switch.
If memory is stored in the same
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29

3-30Pre-driving checks and adjustments
memory switch, the previous memory
will be deleted.
Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position
The Intelligent Key can be linked to a
stored memory position with the following
procedure.
1. Follow the steps for storing a memoryposition.
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.
Push the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion, and then push the
button on the
Intelligent Key. The driver ’s seat, steering
wheel and outside mirrors will move to the
memorized position.
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 approxi-
mately 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 pro-
cedure to switch 1 or 2 and linking
Intelligent Key procedure to a stored
memory position should be performed
again for each Intelligent Key. For
additional Intelligent Key information,
see “Keys ”earlier in this section.
Selecting the memorized position
1. Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
2. Use one of the following methods to move the driver ’s seat, the outside
mirrors and the steering wheel.
.Push the ignition switch to the ON position and push the memory
switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1
second.
.Within 45 seconds of opening the
driver’ s door, push the memory
switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1
second. The driver
’s seat, steering column
and outside mirrors will move to the
memorized position with the indica-
tor light flashing, and then the light
will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.
SETTING MEMORY FUNCTION
