handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when
refueling.

a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury. It could
also cause the
Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) to come on.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-31

The automatic drive positioner system has
three features:∙ Memory storage function (Key-link)
∙ Memory storage function (Switch)
∙ Entry/exit function
Key-link, when enabled, automatically re-
tains the driver’s last seat and outside mir-
ror (if so equipped) position for that specific
key when the ignition is turned from ON to
OFF.
Each memory switch button (1 or 2) on the
driver’s door can also store one additional
position which is independent of the key-
linked position.
MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Use the following process to setup key-link:
1. Unlock the vehicle with the desired In- telligent Key while the ignition is OFF.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Within the “Settings” menu of the ve- hicle information display, select “Key-
Linked Settings” and press the OK but-
ton on the steering switch.
4. While in the menu, press the OK button on the steering switch to turn the sys-
tem ON/OFF. Once step 4 is completed, every time the
ignition is switched from ON to OFF, the
memory positions of the driver’s seat and
outside mirror (if so equipped) are linked to
the Intelligent Key.
Follow the same procedure if you want
to link the 2nd, 3rd or 4th Intelligent Key.
NOTE:
If new memory positions are set prior to
turning the ignition from ON to OFF, the
previously linked memory positions for
the respective key will be overwritten by
new positions.
Recalling Intelligent Key memory
positions
If the “Key-Linked Settings” are enabled in
the vehicle information display for that par-
ticular key, every time you enter the vehicle
the driver’s seat and outside mirrors (if so
equipped) will automatically move to the
driver’s last position of the respective Intel-
ligent Key.
NOTE:
The key-linked memory positions can be
different from the positions stored in the
memory switch (1 or 2).

sound when the memory is stored.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is stored in the
same memory switch, the previous
memory position will be overwritten by
the new stored position.
Recalling switch memory
positions
To recall the manually stored positions,
press the memory switch (1 or 2). The driv-
er’s seat and outside mirror (if so equipped)
will move to the positions stored to those
buttons.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat will automatically move when the shif t
lever is in the P (Park) position. This allows
the driver to easily get in and out of the
driver’s seat. The driver’s seat will slide backward:
∙ When the driver’s door is opened and the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
∙ When the ignition switch is turned from ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat will return to the previous
position: ∙ When the ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON while the shif t lever is in the P
