Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to pre
vent the battery from being dis
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when the
driver removes the ignition key or
turns the engine off (for smart key)
and opens the driverside door.
With this feature, the parking lights
will turn off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed or
the engine is turned off (for smart
key), perform the following:
1) Open the driverside door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF andON again using the light switch on
the steering column.
Headlamp delay function
(if equipped)
If the key is removed from the ignition
switch or placed in the ACC or

The headlights (and/or parking
lights) can be turned off by pressing
the lock button on the remote key (or
smart key) twice or turning the light
switch to the OFF or AUTO position.
However, if you turn the light switch
to the AUTO position when it is dark
outside, the headlights will not be

Driving your vehicle

If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible dam
age to the transaxle, and tire dam
age. See “Towing” in chapter 6.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehi
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head
lights.
• Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.

Driving your vehicle
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra following distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
• Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on thewindshield.
• Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See “Tire Tread
”in chapter 7.
• Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. • Driving too fast through large pud
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driv
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOWDOWN when the road is wet. The
risk of hydroplaning increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases, refer to
“Tire Tread” in chapter 7.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may bereduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
