The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
• The parking lights will turn on and remain on as long as the engine is running.
• The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
• The engine will continue to run for 10 min- utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time

function is performed again. For example,
if the engine has been running for 5 min-
utes, and 10 minutes are added, the en-
gine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.

or a single start with an extension, are al-
lowed between ignition cycles.
The vehicle must be driven at speeds of 4
mph (7 km/h) before the remote engine

AUTOMATIC OPERATION (if so
equipped)
Tilt and telescopic operation
To adjust the steering wheel move the
switch
O1in the following directions:
• Adjust the steering wheel up or down in direction
O2to the desired tilt position.
• Adjust the steering wheel forward or backward in direction
O3to the desired
telescopic position.
CAUTION
For vehicles with memory seat: Failure
to reset the tilt and telescoping func-
tions of the steering wheel, af ter the
vehicle’s battery has been discharged,
may prevent the steering wheel posi-
tion from being adjusted.
For vehicles with memory seat: Both the tilt
and telescopic steering operation must be
reset af ter the vehicle’s battery has been
discharged in order to prevent the tilt and
telescopic operation from locking in one
position. When the battery has been re-
charged or replaced, perform the following:
• For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
O1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
O2that can be reached.
• For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
O1so the steering wheel moves to
the most forward and backward position
O3that can be reached.
Performing these operations resets the
range of the steering wheel’s tilt and tele-
scopic function.
Entry/Exit function (if so
equipped)
The memory seat will make the steering
wheel move up automatically when the
driver's door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the
driver get into and out of the seat more
easily. The steering wheel moves back into
position when the driver's door is closed
and the ignition switch is pushed.
For additional information, see “Memory
seat” (P. 3-40).

ing. You could lose control of your ve-
hicle and cause an accident.

3-38Pre-driving checks and adjustments

The outside mirror surfaces will return to
their original position when one of the fol-
lowing conditions has occurred:
• The shif t lever is moved to any positionother than R (Reverse).
• The outside mirror control switch is set to the neutral or center position.
• The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
The reverse tilt position can be changed.
While in R (Reverse), adjust the glass posi-
tion to the desired location. The next time
the vehicle is shif ted into R (Reverse), the
glass position will go to the newly set posi-
tion. Additionally, the changed reverse tilt
position can be saved to a memory seat
position. Af ter the reverse tilt glass position
has been changed, vehicle is shif ted back
into park and glass has returned to the
original position, push the Set switch and
press the desired memory switch (1 or 2) to
assign the new reverse tilt position
memory.
NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in
the center position, the mirror surface
will NOT turn downward when the shif t
lever is moved to R (Reverse). For additional information, see “Memory
seat” (P. 3-40).
The memory seat 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, automatic steer-
ing wheel, and outside mirror positions for
that specific key when the ignition is posi-
tioned 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
(key-link)

1. Unlock the vehicle with the desired Intel-
ligent Key while the ignition is OFF.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position or start the engine.
3. Within the settings menu of the touch screen display, select “Edit User” and
then “Synch Profile with Intelligent Key”.

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, automatic steering wheel,
and outside mirrors will automatically
move to the driver’s last position of the
respective Intelligent Key.
NOTE:
The key-linked memory positions can be
different from the positions stored in the
memory switch (1 or 2).
MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
(switch)
Two positions for the driver's seat, steering
wheel and outside mirrors can be stored in
the memory seat system. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-41

2. Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheeland outside mirrors to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each ad-
justing switch. For additional informa-
tion, see “Seats” (P. 1-2), “Steering wheel”
(P. 3-34) and “Outside mirrors” (P. 3-38).
3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 sec- onds, push the memory switch (1 or 2).
4. The indicator light for the pushed memory switch will come on and stay
on for approximately 5 seconds.
5. The chime will sound if the memory has been 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.
Linking a key fob to a stored
memory position
Each key fob can be linked to a stored
memory position (memory switch 1 or 2)
with the following procedure.
1. Follow steps 1-3 in the “Memory storagefunction” section for storing the memory
position. 2. The indicator light for the pushed
memory switch will come on. While the
indicator light is on for 5 seconds, press
the
button on the key fob. The haz-
ard lights will flash once and memory
switch will click twice. Af ter the indictor
light goes off, the key fob is linked to that
memory setting.
Once it is linked, when the ignition switch is
in the OFF position, pressing the
but-
ton on the key fob will move the driver’s
seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors to
the linked memory switch position.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is stored in the
linked memory switch, then the key fob
will link the new position and overwrites
the previous position.
Confirming memory storage
• Push the SET switch.
• If a memory position has been stored in the switch (1 or 2) then the indicator light
for the respective switch will stay on for
approximately 5 seconds.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver's
seat and steering wheel will automatically
move when the shif t position 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 and
the steering wheel will move up:
• When the driver’s door is opened with theignition switch in the OFF position.
• When the ignition switch is changed from ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous position:
• When the ignition switch is changed from ACC or ON while the shif t position is in the
P (Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through “Vehicle Settings” in the
vehicle information display by performing
the following:
• Switch the Exit Seat Slide from on to off.
• Switch the Exit Steering UP from on to off.
