opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to fall closed again
after it is opened.
When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it

fully open and secure before using the
trunk.
When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.

an incline, as the trunk lid may open or close suddenly.
On an incline, the trunk lid may fall after it opens automatically. Make
sure the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.
In the following situations, the power trunk lid may detect an abnormality
and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the trunk lid has to
be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped
trunk lid may suddenly fall, causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine is started during
automatic operation

When driving position memory is linked with door unlock operation
If the driver’s door is opened, the driver’s seat will move toward the memo-
rized position but stop slightly beforehand to allow easy access to the vehi-
cle.
Turning the engine switch to ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode, or fas-
tening the driver’s seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
Operating the driving position memory after turning the engine switch off

Memorized seat positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the
driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is closed again. Mem-
orized steering wheel position can be activated by pressing the engine switch.

Memorized positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the front pas-
senger’s door is opened by pressing button “1”, “2” or “3”.
Correct seat position
When the seat is in the most forward or most backward position, and the seat
is being moved in those directions, the system may not correctly recognize
the current position and the memorized position will not be correctly
recalled.
The auto away function for exiting the driver’s seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function
may not operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away
function can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 855)
