FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM
The microcomputer can memorize the position of the front
passenger seat. Two different seat position profiles can be
entered into the computer’s memory.
Recording a seat position in the computer’s memory can only
be done when the ignition key is in the “ON” position and the
selector lever is in the “P” position.
Setting the front passenger seat position
1. Adjust the front passenger seat to the desired position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2”
until the signal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer’s memory. By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining
button, the seat position for another passenger can be
recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position,
the easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Recalling the memorized position
When
you push button “1” or “2”, the seat position will be
automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
168Conditions for memorized position activation

Ignition key “ON” and selector lever in “P” position
 Ignition switch off and within 30 seconds of opening front
passenger’s door
If any seat position memory switch is pushed while one of the
memorized seat position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (“1” or “2”)\
again.
The seat position memory control system cannot be operated
while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, the computer’s
memory will be erased and the memorized positions will have
to be set again.
CAUTION
 Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are
being made.
 Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat
could strike the rear passenger. If this happens, you
can stop the movement by pressing another seat
position memory switch.

INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Pushing the “MIRROR” switch changes the mode
between AUTO and DAY.
The indicator comes on when the AUTO mode is selected.
DAY mode: The mirror surface is normal.
AUTO mode: If the mirror detects light from the headlights
of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface darkens
slightly to reduce the reflected light.
When the inside rear view mirror surface changes, the outside
rear view mirror surfaces will also become darker.
When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear
view mirror always turns on in the AUTO mode. When the outside air temperature is low, it may take a little
longer for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of
headlights.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so may cause the
driver to mishandle the vehicle
and an accident may occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
To ensure correct functioning of antiglare mirror sensors
located on both sides of the mirror, do not touch or cover
the sensors with your finger or a piece of cloth, etc.
