SWITCHES
61
REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE
REAR VIEW MIRROR DEFOGGER,
AND WINDSHIELD WIPER DEICER SWITCH
To turn the electric rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogger on, push the switch.
The ignition key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the rear window and the
heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear
the surface. An indicator light is on when the defogger is
operating. Vehicles
sold in Canada — The windshield wiper de −icers are
equipped to deice the windshield wiper blades by operating
simultaneously with defogger.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 15 minutes.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, do not touch them
when the switch is on.
If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch
once again to turn the defogger of f. Continuous use may cause
the battery to discharge, especially during stop −and−go
driving. The defogger is not designed to dry rain water or to
melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use
a spray de −icer before operating the switch.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
224
After securing the child restraint system, never slide
or recline the seat.
 Do not install a child restraint system on the rear seat
if it interferes with the lock mechanism of the front
seats. This can cause death or serious injury to the
child and front passenger in case of sudden braking
or a collision.DRIVING POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM
A microcomputer will memorize the position of the driver’s
seat, and the positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and
outside rear view mirrors. Two dif ferent driving position profiles
can be entered into the computer’s memory.
Recording a driving position in the computer’s memory can
only be done when the ignition k ey is in the “ON” position and
the selector lever is in the “P” position.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
225
Setting the driving position
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic steering and
outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2”
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
When you push button “1” or “2”, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button.
Conditions for memorized position activation
 Ignition key “ON” and selector lever in “P” position.
All parts of the memorized positions can be activated.
 Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening
driver’s door.
The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt
and telescopic steering.

STEERING WHEEL (tilt type)
To change the steering wheel angle, hold the steering
wheel, pull up the lock release lever, tilt the steering wheel
to the desired angle and release the lever.
When the steering wheel is in a low position, it will spring up as
you release the lock release lever.
CAUTION
 Do not adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is
moving. Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle
the vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in
death or serious injuries.
 After adjusting the steering wheel, try moving it up
and down to make sure it is locked in position.
