ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and automatic operation steering col-
umn will automatically move when you the
vehicle is engaged 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 column will move up:∙ When the driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch placed in the OFF posi-
tion.
∙ When the ignition is switched OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will re-
turn to the previous position: ∙ When the ignition is switched ON while the vehicle is engaged in the P (Park)
position. The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through “Vehicle Settings” in the
lower touch-screen display by performing the
following:
∙ Switch the Lift Steering Wheel on Exit from ON to OFF.
∙ Switch the Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit from ON to OFF.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the stored memory positions will
be lost and some of the functions will be
restricted:
1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).
OR 2. Open and close the driver’s door more than two times with the ignition switch
in the OFF position.
The entry/exit function should now work
properly.
SETTING MEMORY FUNCTION
The position of the following settings can be
linked to the Intelligent Key and the memo-
rized settings can be available for each Intel-
ligent Key.
∙ Climate control system
∙ Navigation system (if so equipped)
∙ Audio system
To use the memory function, set the climate,
navigation and audio systems to the driver’s
preferred settings. Lock the doors with the
Intelligent Key. Each Intelligent Key may be
set with the driver’s individual preferences.
When a new Intelligent Key is used, “Connec-
tion with the key has been done” will be dis-
played on the vehicle information display and
the memorized settings are available.
To engage the memorized settings, perform
the following: 1. Carry the Intelligent Key that is linked to the memorized settings.
2. Unlock the doors by pushing the driver’s door handle request switch or the
button on the Intelligent Key.

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 any of the memory switches are pushed while the automatic drive posi-
tioner is operating.
∙ When the switch for the driver’s seat and steering column is pushed while the au-
tomatic drive positioner is operating. ∙ When the seat has already been moved

WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling function op- erates only when the engine is running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.

Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
NOTE:∙ Odors from inside and outside the vehicle can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
∙ When parking, set the heater and air con- ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Press the AUTO button to set the automatic
control mode that keeps the air distribution,
temperature and the fan speed automati-
cally.
Cooling and/or dehumidified
heating (AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the
system automatically works to keep a con-
stant temperature. Air flow distribution, air
intake control, and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically. 1. Press the
CLIMATE button on the
lower display menu. The CLIMATE
screen will display on the lower display.
2. Press the AUTO button on. (The indica- tor on the button will illuminate and

trol buttons on the driver’s side to set the
desired temperature.
∙ The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution, air intake con-
trol and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the
air is cooled rapidly. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
Dehumidified defrosting or
defogging
1. Press thefront defroster button
on. (The indicator light on the button will
come on.) 2. Operate the
temperature
control buttons to set the desired tem-

to the automatic mode.
∙ When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will auto-
matically be turned on at outside tem-
peratures approximately 32°F (0°C) to
defog the windshield. The air recirculate
mode automatically turns off, allowing
outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the
defogging performance.
Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate
controls and Remote Engine Start function

manual.
OPERATING TIPS
The sensors,AandBon the instrument
panel, help the system maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around these sensors. ∙ When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air may flow from defroster or foot out-
lets to initialize automatic heating mode.
This is not a malfunction. After the cool-
ant temperature warms up, air will flow
normally from the foot outlets.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions as
the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
