CAUTION
Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

Driving position memory
: If equipped
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver’s seat and

automatically when the doors are unlocked.
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory.
Entering a position to memory
Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode.
Adjust the driver’s seat and outside rear view mirrors to
the desired positions.
While pressing the “SET”
button, or within 3 seconds
after the “SET” button is
pressed, press button 1, 2 or 3
until the signal beeps.
If the selected button has
already been preset, the pre-
viously recorded position
will be overwritten.

Press button 1, 2 or 3 to

Linking driving position memory with door unlock operation
(driver’s seat only)
Record your driving position to button 1, 2 or 3 before performing
the following:
Carry only the key (including the card key) to which you want to
link the driving position. If 2 or more keys are in the vehicle, the
driving position cannot be linked properly.
Close the driver’s door and turn the “POWER” switch to
OFF mode.
Press the desired button (1, 2 or
3) to recall the position. Then,
while keep pressing the button,
press the driver’s door lock
switches (either lock or unlock)
until the signal beeps.
The driving position is recalled
when the driver’s door is
unlocked using the entry func-
tion or wireless remote control
and the driver’s door is opened.
To prevent unintended triggering of the alarm, open and close a
door once after a driving position has been recorded. (If a door is
not opened within 30 seconds after door lock switch is pressed, the
doors will be locked again and the alarm will automatically be set.)
In case that the alarm is triggered, immediately stop the alarm.
