INTELLIGENT KEY INTERLOCK FUNCTION: System Description: Notes
- By associating Intelligent Key and automatic drive positioner system, the unlock operation of Intelligent Key or driver side door request switch performs memory function and entry/exit assist function.
- Registration of Intelligent Key interlock function can register a different key ID to the driver seat control unit, one by one, for memory switch 1 and 2. A total of 2 key IDs can be registered.
- When ignition switch is OFF (steering lock unit status)*, and door unlock operation is performed using Intelligent Key or driver side door request switch, driver seat automatically adjusts to a driving position other than seat sliding. Seat sliding and steering column tilt perform return operation and are set to standby status.
- In standby status, when ignition switch is operated from OFF to ACC, return operation sets seat sliding and steering column tilt to a registered position.

NOTE:
- When another key ID is newly registered to a key switch to which a key ID is already registered, the previously registered key ID is overwritten and becomes unusable.
- When starter signal turns ON during return operation, the operation is interrupted, starter signal turns from ON to OFF, and operation restarts.
