Brightness Control
■ Adjusting the Instrument Panel Brightness
When the power mode is in ON, you can use the brightness control knob to adjust instrument panel brightness.
Brighten: Turn the knob to the right.
Dim: Turn the knob to the left.
You will hear a beep when the brightness reaches minimum or maximum. Several seconds after adjusting the brightness, you will be returned to the previous display.
■ Brightness level indicator
The brightness level is shown on the display while you are adjusting it.
The brightness of the instrument panel will be reduced when the following conditions:
- The power mode is in ON.
- The light switch is in any position other than off and it is dark outside.
The brightness can be set differently for when the exterior lights are on, and when they are off.
Rear Defogger/Heated Door Mirror Button
Press the rear defogger and heated door mirror button to defog the rear window and mirrors when the power mode is in ON.
The rear defogger and heated door mirrors automatically switch off after 10-30 minutes depending on the outside temperature. However, if the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C) or below, it does not automatically switch off.
This system consumes a lot of power, so turn it off when the window has been defogged. Also, do not use the system for a long time while the engine is idling. This may weaken the battery, making it difficult to start the engine.
When the power mode is set to ON and the outside temperature is below 41°F (5°C), the heated door mirror may automatically activate for 10 minutes.
Adjusting the Steering Wheel
The steering wheel height and distance from your body can be adjusted so that you can comfortably grip the steering wheel in an appropriate driving posture.
- While the vehicle is stopped, pull the steering wheel adjustment lever up.
The steering wheel adjustment lever is under the steering column. - Move the steering wheel up or down, and in or out.
Make sure you can see the instrument panel gauges and indicators. - Push the steering wheel adjustment lever down to lock the steering wheel in position.
After adjusting the position, make sure you have securely locked the steering wheel in place by trying to move it up, down, in, and out.
WARNING
Adjusting the steering wheel position while driving may cause you to lose control of the vehicle and be seriously injured in a crash.
Adjust the steering wheel only when the vehicle is stopped.
Driving Position Memory System*
You can store two driver’s seat (except for power lumbar) positions with the driving position memory system.
When you unlock and open the driver’s door with a remote transmitter or keyless access system, the seat adjusts automatically to one of the two preset positions.
When you enter the vehicle, the multi-information display briefly shows you which remote transmitter you used to unlock the vehicle.
- DRIVER 1 transmitter is linked to memory button 1.
- DRIVER 2 transmitter is linked to memory button 2.
Using the information screen or multi-information display, you can disable the automatic seat adjustment function.
