Power easy access system (vehicles with driving position memory)
When the driver enters and exits the vehicle, the driver's seat and steering wheel will automatically perform the following operations:
Exiting the vehicle: When all of the
following actions have been performed,
the steering wheel will
move up and back to the point farthest
away from the driver and the
seat will move backward (auto
away function):
• The shift lever has been shifted to P.
• The “POWER” switch has been turned off.
• The driver seat belt has been unfastened.
Entering the vehicle: When either
of the following actions has been
performed, the steering wheel will
move toward the driver and seat
will move forward (auto return
function):
• The “POWER” switch has been
turned to ACCESSORY mode.
• The driver seat belt has been fastened.
Active head restraints
When the occupant’s lower back presses against the seatback during a rear-end collision, the head restraint moves slightly forward and upward to help reduce the risk of whiplash to the seat occupant.
The auto away function for exiting the driver seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function
may not
operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
Active head restraints
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to move.
Pushing up a locked head restraint forcibly may appear the head restraint inner structure. These do not indicate problems.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away
function
can be changed.
CAUTION:
Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
While driving
Do not allow passengers to ride on the flattened seat.
