Operation of each component
■Power easy access system
The driver’s seat and steering wheel move in accordance with power switch mode
and the driver’s seat belt condition. The passenger’s seat moves when the passen-
ger’s door is opened. (→P. 1 5 3 )
CAUTION
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are
not injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■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 unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
■When adjusting the seat positions
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.

3-3. Adjusting the seats
■Auto return function when entering the vehicle (driver’s seat only)
When either of the following actions has been performed, the steering
wheel will move toward the driver and seat will move forward: • The power switch has been turned to ACCESSORY mode.
• The driver’s seat belt has been fastened.
■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 memorized posi-
tion but stop slightly beforehand to allow easy access to the vehicle.
Turning the power switch to ACCESSORY or ON mode, or fastening the driver’s
seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
■Operating the driving position memory after turning the power switch off
Driver’s seat:
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. Memorized steering
wheel position can be activated by pressing the power switch.
Front passenger’s seat:
Memorized positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the front passenger’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 positi on 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. 807)
CAUTION
■Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear passen-
ger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.

GS450h_U (OM30D01U)
■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
■Linked mirror function when reversing
●When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select switch is selected, the outside rear view
mirrors 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
mirror function is not operating, the mirror angle when the linked mirror function is
operating will also be changed if the mirrors are adjusted while the function is not
operating.
■When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers. Turn on the
rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror defoggers. (→P. 3 8 4 )
■Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. ( →P. 1 5 0 )
■Auto anti-glare function
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view mir-
ror to reduce reflected light. ( →P. 1 5 9 )
