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 unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

■Operating the driving position memory after turning the “POWER” switch off
Memorized positions (except for the steering wheel position) can be activated up
to 180 seconds after the driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is
closed again, even after turning the “POWER” switch off.
■Canceling the linked door unlock operation
Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode and close the driver’s door.
While pressing the “SET” button, press the driver’s door lock switches
(either lock or unlock) until the signal beeps.
■Stopping seat position operation part-way through
Perform any of the following operations:
●Press the “SET” button.
●Press button 1, 2 or 3.
●Adjust the seat using the switches (only cancels seat position recall).
●Adjust the steering wheel using the tilt and telescopic steering control switch
(only cancels steering wheel position recall).
■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 cur-
rent position and the memorized position will not be correctly recalled.
■Customization
If a seat position is memorized, the driver seat will move back the set distance
(→ P. 584) from that memorized position.
CAUTION
■Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear passenger
or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.

Auto tilt away (power adjustable type only)
When the “POWER” switch is
turned off, the steering wheel
returns to its stowed position by
moving up and away to enable
easier driver entry and exit.
Turning the “POWER” switch to
ACCESSORY or ON mode will
return the steering wheel to the
original position.
■The steering wheel can be adjusted when (power adjustable type only)
The “POWER” switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode*.
*: Vehicles with driving position memory: If the driver’s seat belt is fastened, thesteering wheel can be adjusted regardless of “POWER” switch mode.
■Automatic adjustment of the steering position (vehicles with driving position
memory)
A desired steering position can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory system. ( →P. 7 2 )
CAUTION
■Caution while driving
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving.
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and cause an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
■After adjusting the steering wheel (manually adjustable type only)

■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The “POWER” switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
■Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving position memory)
The outside rear view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle
is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However, this function will
not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral position (between “L” and
“R”).
■Rain clearing mirrors (if equipped)
When water droplets collects on the mirror surface, for example when it rains, the
rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect of the mirrors causes the droplets to be spread out
into a film making the rear view clearer. In the following cases, the rain clearing
effect will be reduced temporarily, but will return after 1 or 2 days’ exposure to
direct sunlight.
●After wiping dirt off the mirrors
●When the mirrors fog up
●After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash
●After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in underground parking
lots etc. where there is no direct sunlight
■When the mirrors are fogged up
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. ( →P. 2 74 )
■Automatic adjustment of the mirror angl e (vehicles with driving position mem-
ory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. ( →P. 7 2 )
■Auto anti-glare fu nction (if equipped)
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. 8 5 )

CAUTION
■While driving
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of death or
serious injury to the driver or passenger.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and
stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
■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.
