The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
cMemory storage function
cEntry/exit function
MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering col-
umn, and outside mirrors can be stored in the
automatic drive positioner memory. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.
1. Set the Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) selector lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the ignition ON.3. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column,
and outside mirrors to the desired positions
by manually operating each adjusting
switch. For additional information, see
“Seats” in the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section and
“Pedal position adjustment” and “Outside
mirrors” earlier in this section.
During this step, do not turn the ignition to
any position other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds,
push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at
least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the se-
lected positions are stored in the selected
memory (1 or 2) .
If a new memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Linking a keyfob to a stored memory
position
Each keyfob can be linked to a stored memory
position (memory switch 1 or 2) with the follow-
ing procedure.

er’s seat and outside mirrors will move to the
memorized position.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is saved to the
memory switch, the keyfob automatically
re-links.
Procedure for storing the outside
mirror positions for best visibility when
backing up
An outside mirror position for backing up can be
stored for each memory switch (1 and 2) .
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition ON. (Do not start the en-
gine.)3. Push the memory switch 1 or 2 fully for at
least 1 second to operate the automatic

push the memory switch 1 or 2 selected in
step 3 fully for at least 1 second.
cThe indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the se-
lected mirror position is stored in the se-
lected memory (1 or 2) .
9. Turn the outside mirror control switch to R
(right) . Repeat the above procedure to ad-
just the right mirror position and store in the
selected memory.
cWhen the driver’s seat, accelerator and
brake pedals, and outside mirrors are not in
the memorized position, the outside mirror
will move with the initial tilt-down angle.
Confirming memory storage
cTurn the ignition ON and push the SET
switch. If the main memory has not been
stored, the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. When the
memory has stored the position, the indica-
tor light will stay on for approximately 5 sec-
onds.
cIf the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the memory storage function will
be canceled and must be restarted before a
stored memory position can be set again.
Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to
restart the memory storage function. You
can also restart the memory storage function
using the following procedure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the
fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key in the LOCK

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and automatic operation steering column (if so
equipped) will automatically move when the CVT
selector lever is in the P (Park) position. This
allows the driver to get into and out of the driver’s
seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up when the driver’s
door is opened and the ignition switch is in the
LOCK position.The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
previous position when the driver’s door is closed
and the ignition switch is pushed

celed. See “Vehicle electronic systems” in the
“Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio
and phone systems” section of this manual.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled.
Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to
restart the entry/exit function. You can also restart
the entry/exit function using the following proce-
dure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the
fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
cWhen the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h) .cWhen any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive positioner
is operating.
cWhen the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat is turned on while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.
cWhen the memory switch (1 or 2) is not
pushed and held for at least 1 second.
cWhen the seat has been already moved to
the memorized position.
cWhen no seat position is stored in the
memory switch.
cWhen the CVT selector lever is moved from
P (Park) to any other position.
cWhen the driver’s door remains open more
than 45 seconds and the ignition switch is
not in the ON position.
The automatic drive positioner system can be
adjusted and canceled for vehicles with naviga-
tion system. See “Vehicle electronic systems” in
the “Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio
and phone systems” section of this manual.
