Hazard Warning ButtonPush the button between the center
vents to turn on the hazard warning
lights (four-way flashers). This
causes all four outside turn signals
and both indicators in the instrument
panel to flash. Use the hazard
warning lights if you need to park in
a dangerous area near heavy traffic,
or if your vehicle is disabled.Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger will clear
fog, frost, and thin ice from the
window. Push the defogger button to
turn it on and off.
The indicator in the button lights to
show the defogger is on. If you do
not turn it off, the defogger will shut
itself off within about 10 to 30
minutes according to the outside
temperature. It also shuts off when
you turn off the ignition switch, or set
the power mode to VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK) on models with keyless
access system. You have to turn it on
again when you restart the vehicle.
Make sure the rear window is clear
and you have good visibility before
starting to drive.
The defogger wires on the inside of
the rear window can be accidentally
damaged. When cleaning the glass,
always wipe side-to-side.
Pushing this button also turns the
mirror heaters on or off. For more
information, see page 179.

Reverse this procedure to return the
seat-back to the upright position. Pull
on the seat-back to make sure it is
latched. If the seat-back is not
latched fully, the seat belt will not
work properly and you will see the
red indicator behind the handle as
shown.
Do not put any heavy items on the
seat-back when it is folded down.
Make sure that the folded seat-back
does not press against the front
passenger's seat, as this could cause
the weight sensors to work
improperly.
Make sure the seat-back and seat
cushion are locked securely and all
rear shoulder belts are positioned in
front of the rear seat-backs.
Make sure all items in the cargo area
are secured. Loose items can fly
forward and cause injury if you have
to brake hard (SeeCarrying Cargo
on page 465). Front Seat Heaters
On models without adaptive cruise
control (ACC)Both front seats are equipped with
seat heaters. Because of the sensors
for the side airbag cutoff system,
there is no heater in the passenger's
seat-back. The ignition switch must
be in the ON (II) position to use the
heaters. Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON mode is the equivalent of
ON (II). For more information, see
pages 194 and 196.
Push the right side of the switch, HI,
to rapidly heat up the seat. After the
seat reaches a comfortable
temperature, select LO by pushing
the left side of the switch. This will
keep the seat warm.

In the HI setting, the heater turns off
when the seat gets warm, and turns
back on after the seat's temperature
drops.
In the LO setting, the heater runs
continuously. It does not cycle with
temperature changes.
Follow these precautions when using
the seat heaters:●Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly, because it draws
large amounts of current from the
battery.●If the engine is left idling for an
extended period, do not use the
seat heaters even on the LO
setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
A multi-information display message
may inform you when the battery
charge is getting low. See page 85 for
more information. Front Seat Heaters and Seat
Ventilation
On models with adaptive cruise control
(ACC)Both front seats are equipped with
seat heaters and an air ventilation
system. The passenger seat only has
heaters in the seat bottom because of
the side airbag system.
You must select the ON mode by
operating the engine start/stop
button (see page 194) to use the
heaters and the air ventilation
system.

ventilation:

extended period, do not use the
seat heaters or the seat ventilation,
even on the LO setting. It can
