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).

position:
• When the ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON while the shif t lever is in the P (Park)
position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the “Vehicle Settings” in
the vehicle information display by perform-
ing the following:
• Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the In-
telligent Around View Monitor system
could result in serious injury or death
• The Intelligent Around View Monitor
is a convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where ob-
jects cannot be viewed. The four cor-
ners of the vehicle in particular, are
areas where objects do not always
appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear
views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always
operate the vehicle slowly.
• The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera. The Intelligent Around View Monitor sys-
tem is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking.
The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen for-
mat. Not all views are available at all times.
Available views:
• Front View
An approximately 150–degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
• Rear View An approximately 150–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
• Bird's-Eye View The surrounding views of the vehicle
from above.
• Front-Side View The view around and ahead of the front
passenger's side wheel.
• Full Screen Rear View The view to the rear of the vehicle (which
is a little wider than the standard Rear
View). To display the multiple views, the Intelligent
Around View Monitor system uses cam-
eras located in the front grille, on the vehi-
cle’s outside mirrors and one just above
the vehicle’s license plate
O1.
