Multi-View Rear Camera
When you shift into Reverse (R), a real-time image of the area behind your vehicle
is shown in the display, along with helpful parking guidelines.
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting,
and high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display, which does
not give you all information about conditions at the rear of your vehicle.

Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD)*
Controls and transfers varying amounts of engine torque to each wheel depending
on driving conditions.
SH-AWD helps enhance stability in driving situations involving slippery surfaces,
such as on wet, icy, or snowy roads. The system does not help enhance braking. It is
still your responsibility to drive safely when you steer, accelerate, and apply brakes.
Leave sufficient distance in front of you when braking on slippery surfaces.
Avoid continuously driving on slippery surfaces where a wheel is likely to spin out,
and do not drive if the SH-AWD indicator starts blinking. Driving continuously
under such conditions can damage the system’s torque distribution unit.

If steam or spray is present: Turn off the
engine and wait until it subsides. Then, open
the hood (see page 115).
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the
temperature gauge needle goes down. If the cooling fan is not operating,
immediately stop the engine.
4. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the
cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator cap with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature
gauge. If the temperature needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone
down, contact a dealer for repairs.

Learn about basic maintenance that you can perform on the vehicle yourself, as
well as information about how to best maintain the vehicle.
Safety Precautions
Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however,
we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
Maintenance Safety
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames
away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not
gasoline.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or
compressed air.
• Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can
accumulate.
Vehicle Safety
• The vehicle must be in a stationary condition, and parked on level ground with
the parking brake set and the engine off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
• Do not open the hood during auto idle stop operation* (see page 83).
MAINTENANCE
Improperly maintaining this vehicle or failing to correct a problem before
driving can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations according to
the schedules in this guide.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause
you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this guide.
WARNING
*if equipped
Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn off the vehicle, including the
headlights and all accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine
compartment. If the fuse is blown, use a
Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the
