Jam protection function
During closing operation, the moon roof stops and is open if
something gets caught into the roof opening.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact, this function may
work even if nothing is caught.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.
While the vehicle is moving, always keep the heads,
hands and other parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Otherwise, they could be
seriously injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or if
the vehicle is involved in an accident.
 Before you close the moon roof, always make sure
there is nobody around the moon roof. You must also
make sure nobody places his or her head, hands and
other parts of the body in the roof opening. If
someone's neck, head or hands get caught in the
closing roof, it could result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the moon roof, first make sure it is safe
to do so.
 Be sure to remove the ignition key or turn the ignition
switch to the ªLOCKº position when you leave your
vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone
in your vehicle, especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could use the moon roof
switches and get trapped in the roof opening.
Unattended person (p articularly a small child) can be
involved in a serious accident.
 Never sit on top of the vehicle around the roof
opening.
 Never try jamming any part of your body to activate
the jam protection function intentionally.
 The jam protection function may not work if
something gets caught just before the moon roof
fully closed.

seat. Two different driving position profiles can be entered into
the computer's memory.
Automatic transmission: Recording a driving position in the
computer's memory can only be done when the ignition key is
in the ªONº position and the selector lever is in the ªPº posi\
tion.
Manual transmission: Recording a driving position in the
computer's memory can only be done when the ignition key is
in the ªONº position and the parking brake is applied.

Setting the driving position
SV16170
1. Adjust the driver's seat to the desired position.
2. While pushing the ªSETº button, push button ª1º or ª2º
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 driving position for another driver 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

vehicle in the mirror.
Pushing the switch changes the mode between ªAUTOº
and ªDAYº.
The indicator comes on when the ªAUTOº mode is selected.
ªDAYº mode: The mirror surface is normal.
ªAUTOº 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 ªAUTOº 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.
