Power easy access system (vehicles with driving position memory)  
The auto away/return function enables easy access by activating when the  
driver attempts to enter or exit the vehicle.  
When the power switch has been turned to ON mode or the driver’s seat  
belt has been fastened, the driver’s seat will move forward.  
When the power switch has been turned off and the driver’s seat belt has  
been unfastened, the driver’s seat will move backward.  
Customization  
Settings (e.g. driver’s seat movement when exiting the vehicle) can be  
changed. (Customizable features: P. 461)  
WARNING  
When adjusting the seat position  
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-  
gers are not injured by the moving seat.  
Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid  
injury.  
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.  
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 unexpect-  
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.  
When adjusting the seat positions  
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
