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” (P.3-3).
Selecting the memorized position
1.Automatic transmission models:
Move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual transmission models:
Apply the parking brake.
2. Raise the seatback.
3. 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.
For manual transmission models, the
memory positions can be selected even
when the engine is running. In this case,
move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position and apply the parking brake.
Then, perform step 2.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will
not work or will stop operating under the
following conditions:
. When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH
(7 km/h).
. When the adjusting switch for the
driver’s seat and steering column is
turned on while the automatic drive positioner is operating.
. When the memory switch 1 or 2 is not
pushed for at least 1 second.
. When the seat, steering column and
outside mirrors have already been
moved to the memorized position.
. When no position is stored in the
memory switch.
. When the parking brake is released (MT
models).
. When the speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h) while the parking brake is
applied (MT models).
. To restart the drive positioner system,
move the parking brake to off and on.
. When the engine is started while
moving the automatic drive positioner.
. When the driver’s door remains open
for more than 45 seconds and the
ignition switch is not in the ON posi-
tion.
. When the seatback is folded.
. While the walk-in function operates.
. The seat synchronization function is
automatically disabled if the outside
mirrors or steering wheel reaches its
maximum adjustment.

4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
*Dparallel to the parking space*Cwhile referring to the predictive course lines.
5. When the vehicle is parked in the space completely, move the shift lever to the
P (Park) position (Automatic Transmis-
sion models) or in an appropriate gear
(Manual Transmission models) and
apply the parking brake.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTIVE

The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
level, paved surface. The distance viewed
on the monitor is for reference only and
may be different from the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.

WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The engine will stop when the
ignition switch is pushed 3 consecutive
times or the ignition switch is pushed and
held for more than 2 seconds.) If the engine
stops while the vehicle is being driven, this
could lead to a crash and serious injury.
Before operating the push-button ignition
switch, be sure to move the shift lever to
the P (Park) position (for automatic trans-
mission model) or the shift lever to the N
(Neutral) position (for manual transmission

OPERATING RANGE FOR ENGINE
START FUNCTION
The Intelligent Key can only be used for
starting the engine when the Intelligent
Key is within the specified operating range
*1.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged or strong radio waves are
present near the operating location, the
Intelligent Key system’s operating range
becomes narrower and may not function
properly.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone, even someone who does not carry the Intelligent
Key, to push the ignition switch to start the
engine.
.
The trunk area is not included in the
operating range but the Intelligent Key
may function.
. If the Intelligent Key is placed on the
instrument panel, rear parcel shelf,
inside the glove box or door pocket,
the Intelligent Key may not function.
. If the Intelligent Key is placed near the
door or window outside the vehicle, the
Intelligent Key may function.

els).
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH
POSITIONS
LOCK (Normal parking position)
The ignition switch can only be locked in
this position.
The ignition switch will be unlocked when
it is pushed to the ACC position while
carrying the Intelligent Key or with the
Intelligent Key inserted in the port.
ACC (Accessories)
This position activates electrical acces-
sories such as the radio, when the engine
is not running.
ON (Normal operating position)
This position turns on the ignition system
and electrical accessories.
OFF
The engine can be turned off in this
position.
The ignition lock is designed so that the

5-12Starting and driving
.Make sure the area around the vehicle
is clear.
. Check fluid levels such as engine oil,
coolant, brake fluid and window
washer fluid as frequently as possible,
or at least whenever you refuel.
. Check that all windows and lights are
clean.
. Visually inspect tires for their appear-
ance and condition. Also check tires for
proper inflation.
. Lock all doors.

straints.
. Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
. Fasten seat belts and ask all passen-
gers to do likewise.
. Check the operation of warning lights
when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position. (See “Warning/indica-
tor lights and audible reminders” (P.2-
10).) 1. Apply the parking brake.
2.
Automatic Transmission (AT) model:
Move the shift lever to the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position. (P is recommended.)
The starter is designed not to operate
unless the shift lever is in either of the
above positions.
Manual Transmission (MT) model:
Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position. Depress the clutch pedal fully
to the floor.
The starter is designed not to operate
unless the clutch pedal is fully de-
pressed.
The Intelligent Key must be carried
when operating the ignition switch.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON position. Depress the brake pedal (AT
model) or the clutch pedal (MT model)
and push the ignition switch to start
the engine.
To start the engine immediately, push
and release the ignition switch while
depressing the brake pedal or the
clutch pedal (MT model) with the
ignition switch in any position.
.If the engine is very hard to start inextremely cold weather or when restarting, depress the accelerator
pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to
the floor) and while holding, crank
the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
.If the engine is very hard to start
because it is flooded, depress the
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it. Push the ignition
switch to the ON position to start
cranking the engine. After 5 or 6
seconds, stop cranking by pushing
the ignition switch to OFF. After
cranking the engine, release the
accelerator pedal. Crank the engine
with your foot off the accelerator
pedal by depressing the brake pedal
and the clutch pedal (MT model) and
pushing the push-button ignition
switch to start the engine. If the
engine starts, but fails to run, repeat
the above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, push the ignition switch to OFF and
