The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
.Entry/exit function
.Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and steering column will automatically move
when the 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 with the ignition switch in the
LOCK position and the key not inserted in the
key port.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return
to the previous positions when the ignition
switch is pushed to the ACC position.
The driver’s seat will not return to the previous
positions if the seat or steering adjusting switch
is operated when the seat is at the exit position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit function
The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the OFF
position after the driver’s door is opened.
The entry/exit function can be activated orcanceled by pressing and holding the SET
switch for more than 10 seconds.
The indicator lights on the memory switches (1
and 2) will blink once when the function is
canceled, and the indicator lights will blink twice
when the function is activated. Note that the
indicator lights may illuminate after 5 seconds
while holding the SET switch. This indicates
readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to a
stored memory position. Keep the SET switch
pressed for more than 10 seconds to turn on or
off the entry/exit function.
The entry/exit function can also be activated or
canceled if the “Lift Steering Wheel on Exit” key
or “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit” key is turned
to ON or OFF in the “Comfort & Conv.” settings.
(See “VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SET-
TINGS” in the “4. Monitor, heater, air condi-
tioner, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
Initialize entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will not work
though this function was set on before. In such
a case, after connecting the battery or replacing
with a new fuse, open and close the driver’s
door more than two times after the ignition
switch is turned from the ON position to the
LOCK position. The entry/exit function will be
activated.
SPA2445
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored in the
automatic drive positioner memory. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.
1. Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
2. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column and
outside mirrors to the desired positions by
manually operating each adjusting switch.

Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.Satellite radio reception:
When the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio
may not work properly. This is not a malfunction.
Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite radio
ON for satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active XM
®
satellite radio service subscription. Satellite
radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and
Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
