Recall procedure

Make sure that the doors are
locked before recalling the driving
position. Carry the electronic key
that has been registered to the driv-
ing position, and then unlock and
open the driver’s door using the
smart entry & start system or wire-
less remote control.

The driving position will move to the

recorded position (not including the steer-

ing wheel and head-up display). However,

the seat will move to a position slightly

behind the recorded position in order to

make entering the vehicle easier.
If the driving position is in a position that

has already been recorded, the seat and

outside rear view mirrors will not move.

Turn the power switch to ACCES-
SORY mode or ON mode, or fas-
ten a seat belt.

The seat, steering wheel and head-up dis-

play will move to the recorded position.

■

Recalling the driving position using the

memory recall function

●

Different driving positions can be regis-

tered for each electronic key. Therefore,

the driving position that is recalled may

be different depending on the key being

carried.

●

If a door other than the driver’s door is

unlocked with the smart entry & start sys-

tem, the driving position cannot be

recalled. In this case, press the driving

position button which has been set.

When the mirror select switch is in the
“L” or “R” position, the outside rear
view mirrors will automatically angle
downwards when the vehicle is revers-
ing in order to give a better view of the
ground.
To disable this function, move the mir-
ror select switch to the neutral position
(between “L” or “R”).

■

Adjusting the mirror angle when
the vehicle is reversing

With the shift lever in R, adjust the mir-
ror angle at a desired position.
The adjusted angle will be memorized
and the mirror will automatically tilt to
the memorized angle whenever the
shift lever is shifted to R from next time.

The memorized downward tilt position of
the mirror is linked to the normal position
(angle adjusted with the shift lever in other
than R). Therefore, if the normal position is
changed after adjustment, the tilt position
will also change.

When the normal position is changed,
readjust the angle in reversing.
