Driving Position Memory (if equipped)
■Entering a position to memory
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside rear view mirrors to the desired
positions. (When memorizing the front pass enger’s seat, adjust the front passenger’s
seat 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 pre-
set, the previously recorded position will be
overwritten.
■Recalling the memorized position
Press button “1”, “2” or “3” to recall the
desired position.
■Linking driving position memory with door unlock operation (driver’s side
only)
While pressing the button to recall the posi-
tion, press the driver’s door lock switch
(either lock or unlock) until the signal
beeps.
The driving position is recalled when the
driver’s door is unlocked using the entry
function or wireless remote control and the
driver’s door is opened.
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver’s seat, steering wheel and out-
side rear view mirrors) can be memorized and recalled by pressing a button.
The same buttons are found on the front passenger’s side, allowing the position of the
front passenger’s seat to be memorized (if equipped).

■ When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select switch is selected, the outside rear view mir-
rors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing in order to give a
better view of the ground. To disable this function, select neither “L” nor “R”.
■ If the mirror angle adjustment switch is operated while the linked mirror function is in
operation, the angle and position of the mirrors can be remembered, and the mirrors will
operate at the angle adjusted to the last time the linked mirror function was operated.
However, because the mirrors move based on the angle they are in when the linked mir-
ror function is not operating, the mirror angl e when the linked mirror function is operat-
ing will also be changed if the mirrors are adjusted while the function is not operating.

■If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes im possible to stop the vehicle in the normal way,
stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow
the vehicle.
Shift the shift lever to N.
If the shift lever is shifted to N
After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.

Automatic Transmission
■Shifting the shift lever
While the “START STOP ENGINE” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, move the shift
lever with the brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped.
■ Shift position purpose
*1: Shifting the shift lever to D allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving con-
ditions.
Setting the shift lever to D is recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges, controls engine braking force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.

■Shift ranges and their functions
• Automatically selecting gears between S1 and S6 according to vehicle speed and driv-
ing conditions. But the gear is limited according to selected shift range.
• You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
• A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than a higher shift range,
and the engine speed will also increase.
