LINK TO KEYFOB
Within 5 seconds of setting the memory position (indicator light is on and ignition is on),
press the button on the remote.
a keyfob can be linked to each memory button.
if memory positioning is reset to a new location, the keyfob automatically re-links.
RECALLING A MEMORY SETTING FROM THE MEMORY PAD
With the shift lever in the P (PaRk) position, press the position button (1 or 2).
FROM THE KEYFOB
if properly linked, operation of the button will automatically return the driver’s seat,
steering column and outside mirrors to the memorized position.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
The driver’s seat and steering column automatically move to allow the driver to get into and
out of the driver’s seat more easily. The driver’s seat slides backward and the steering column
moves up when:
The driver’s door is opened, the ignition switch is in the LOck position and the shift lever is in the
P (PaRk) position. The driver’s seat and steering column return to the previous position when:
The driver’s door is closed and the ignition switch is pushed.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
after starting the engine, fully depress the brake pedal. Move the shift
lever out of the P (PaRk) position. The cVT can operate in two
different automatic drive modes:
d (drive) mode - When the shift lever is moved to d (drive),
the transmission is in the normal forward automatic driving mode.
The position indicator in the meter shows a “d.” The d (drive) mode
does not produce a gear change sensation like a traditional
automatic transmission.
ds (drive Sport) mode - Move the shift selector from d (drive) to the
left into the manual shift gate. The position indicator in the meter shows
a “ds”. in ds (drive Sport) mode, transmission operation changes to
“Sporty” driving shift operation, creating a more aggressive acceleration
feeling than the d (drive) mode and a gear change sensation when
the driver accelerates quickly. When the driver selects M (Manual)
mode ratio with shift selector or shift paddles (if so equipped) during ds (drive Sport) mode
operation, the driver must move the shift selector from ds mode to d mode and back again to
re-select ds (drive Sport) mode.
• To cancel the Ds (Drive Sport) mode, return the shift lever to the D (Drive)
position. The transmission returns to the normal automatic driving mode.
Moving the shift lever or the shift paddles (if so equipped) + (up) or – (down), will
disengage the ds (drive Sport) mode and put the transmission into M (Manual) shift
mode. Once the shift lever or shift paddles have been moved, the position indicator
in the meter shows one of the following : “M1,” “M2,” “M3,” “M4,” “M5” or “M6.”
