Confirming memory storage
.Push the ignition switch to the ON
position and push the SET switch. If
the main memory has not been
stored, the indicator light will come
on for approximately 0.5 second.
When the memory has stored in posi-
tion, the indicator light will stay on for
approximately 5 seconds.
. If the battery cable is disconnected, or
if the fuse opens, the memory will be
canceled. In this case, reset the de-
sired position using the previous pro-
cedure.
. If optional Intelligent Keys are added
to your vehicle, the memory storage
procedure to switch 1 or 2 and linking
Intelligent Key procedure to a stored
memory position should be per-
formed again for each Intelligent Key.
For additional Intelligent Key informa-
tion, see “Keys” (P.3-2).
Selecting the memorized position
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position.
2. Use one of the following methods to move the driver’s seat, the outside
mirrors and the steering wheel.
.Push the memory switch (1 or 2)fully for at least 1 second. The driver’s seat, steering column and
outside mirrors will move to the
memorized position or to the exit
position when the entry/exit function
is set to active with the indicator light
flashing, and then the light will stay on
for approximately 5 seconds.
SETTING MEMORY FUNCTION
The status of the following settings can
be linked to the Intelligent Key and the
memorized settings can be available for
each Intelligent Key.
.
Air conditioner system
. Navigation system (if so equipped)
. Audio system
To use the memory function, lock the
doors with the Intelligent Key that is
linked to the settings.
To enable the memorized settings:
1. Carry the Intelligent Key that is linked to the settings, and unlock the doors
by pushing the driver’s door handle
request switch or “UNLOCK”
but-
ton on the Intelligent Key.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. “Connection with the key has
been done” will be displayed on the
screen and the memorized settings
are available (only when a new Intel-
ligent Key is used).
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system
will not work or will stop operating under
the following conditions:
.When the vehicle speed is above 0
MPH (0 km/h) or 4 MPH (7 km/h) for
some limited functions such linking an
Intelligent Key to the vehicle when the
power source is turned on from off or
during the Exit function.
. When any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.
. When the adjusting switch for the
driver’s seat and steering column is
turned on while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.
. When the seat has already been
moved to the memorized position.
. When no seat position is stored in the
memory switch.
. When the shift lever is moved from the
P (Park) position to any other position.

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
When adding air to an under-inflated tire,
the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides
visual and audible signals outside the
vehicle to help you inflate the tires to
the recommended COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and levelplace.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard in- dicators will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and
the hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
. If the tire is over-inflated more than
approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
3 times. To correct the pressure, push
the core of the valve stem on the tire
briefly to release pressure. When the
pressure reaches the designated
pressure, the horn beeps once. .
If the hazard indicator does not flash
within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates
that the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
is not operating.
. The TPMS will not activate the Easy Fill
Tire Alert under the following condi-
tions:
— If there is interference from an
external device or transmitter
— The air pressure from the inflation device such as those using a power
socket is not sufficient to inflate the
tire
— If an electrical equipment is being used in or near the vehicle
— There is a malfunction in the TPMS system
— There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators
. If the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
does not operate due to TPMS inter-
ference, move the vehicle about 3 ft
(1m) backward or forward and try
again.
If the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert is not
working, use a tire pressure gauge.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-
OVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a
safe and prudent manner may result
in loss of control or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-
sive speed, high speed cornering, or
sudden steering maneuvers, because
these driving practices could cause you
to lose control of your vehicle. As with
any vehicle, a loss of control could
result in a collision with other vehicles
or objects, or cause the vehicle to roll-
over, particularly if the loss of control
causes the vehicle to slide sideways. Be
attentive at all times, and avoid driving
when tired. Never drive when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs (including
prescription or over-the-counter drugs
which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in the
“Seat belts” (P.1-20), and also instruct your
passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted or improperly belted

the Sonar settings on the center display.
(See “Sonar settings” (P.5-133).) When the
sonar indicator is off, only a tone sounds
when the sonar detect obstacles.
WARNING
If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power
assist for the steering will not work.
Steering will be harder to operate.
The power assisted steering uses a hy-
draulic pump, driven by the engine, to
assist steering.
If the engine stops or the drive belt
breaks, you will still have control of the
vehicle. However, much greater steering
effort is needed, especially in sharp turns
and at low speeds.
BRAKING PRECAUTIONS
The brake system has two separate
hydraulic circuits. If one circuit malfunc-
tions, you will still have braking ability at
two wheels.
You may feel a small click and hear a
sound when the brake pedal is fully
depressed slowly. This is not a malfunc-
tion and indicates that the brake assist
mechanism is operating properly.
Hydraulically-assisted brakes
The hydraulically-assisted brake system is
designed to use a hydraulic pump driven
electrically, to assist braking. If the engine
stops, you can stop the vehicle by de-
pressing the foot brake pedal. However,
greater foot pressure on the foot brake
pedal will be required to stop the vehicle.
The stopping distance will be longer.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven
through water, the brakes may get wet.
As a result, your braking distance will be
longer and the vehicle may pull to one
side during braking.
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe
speed while lightly tapping the brake
pedal to heat-up the brakes. Do this until
the brakes return to normal. Avoid driving
the vehicle at high speeds until the brakes
