NOTE
xTo prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the engine is off unless
safety requires them.
xHeadlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter what side
of the road you must drive your vehicle (left-hand or right-hand traffic). Therefore, it is
not necessary to adjust the optical axis of the headlights when switching temporarily to
driving on the opposite side of the road (left-hand or right-hand traffic).

¾Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windscreen. Otherwise
the light sensor will not operate correctly.
¾The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands and
scrapers clear of the windscreen when the wiper lever is in the
position and the
ignition is switched ON as fingers could be pinched or the wipers and wiper blades
damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the windscreen,
be sure the wipers are turned off completely Š this is particularly important when clearing
ice and snow Š when it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running.
NOTE
xThe headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately even if the
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is night time
if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several minutes such as inside long
tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the
position.
xThe sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.

¾When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
¾If the windscreen above the rain sensor
is touched or wiped with a cloth.
¾If the windscreen is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen when the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is
switched ON as fingers could be pinched
or the wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windscreen,
be sure the wipers are turned
off
completely (when it is most likely that the
engine is left running) this is particularly
important when clearing ice and snow.
NOTE
xSwitching the auto-wiper lever from the
to the position while driving
activates the windscreen wipers once,
after which they operate according to
the rainfall amount.
xThe auto-wiper control may not operate
when the rain sensor temperature is
about –10 °C (14 °F) or lower, or about
85 °C (185 °F) or higher.
xIf the windscreen is coated with water
repellent, the rain sensor may not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall
correctly and auto-wiper control may
not operate properly.
xIf dirt or foreign matter (Such as ice or
matter containing salt water) adheres to
the windscreen above the rain sensor or
if the windscreen is iced, it could cause
the wipers to move automatically.
However, if the wipers cannot remove
this ice, dirt or foreign matter, the
auto-wiper control will stop operation.
In this case, set the wiper lever to the
low speed position or high speed
position for manual operation, or
remove the ice, dirt or foreign matter by
hand to restore the auto-wiper
operation.
xIf the auto-wiper lever is left in the
position, the wipers could operate
automatically from the effect of strong
light sources, electromagnetic waves, or
infrared light because the rain sensor
uses an optical sensor. It is
recommended that the auto-wiper lever
be switched to the
position other
than when driving the vehicle under
rainy conditions.
xThe auto-wiper control functions can be
turned off.
Refer to Vehicle Equipment on page 9-
16.

NOTE
xWhen the windscreen washer is
operated for the first time after turning
on the headlights, the headlight washers
operate automatically.
xIf air enters the headlight washer fluid
pipe under conditions such as when the
vehicle is brand-new or after an empty
washer tank is replenished with washer
fluid, washer fluid will not spray even
when the wiper lever is operated. If this
occurs, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn on the headlights.
3. Double flick the wiper lever several
times until the washer fluid sprays.

Do not coast with the engine stalled or
turned
off,
find a safe place to stop:
Coasting with the engine stalled or turned
off is dangerous. Braking will require more
effort, and the brake's power-assist could
be depleted if you pump the brake. This will
cause longer stopping distances or even an
accident.
Shift to a lower gear when going down
steep hills:
Driving with your foot continuously on the
brake pedal or steadily applying the brakes
for long distances is dangerous. This causes
overheated brakes, resulting in longer
stopping distances or even total brake
failure. This could cause loss of vehicle
control and a serious accident. Avoid
continuous application of the brakes.
Dry off brakes that have become wet by
driving slowly, releasing the accelerator
pedal and lightly applying the brakes
several times until the brake performance
returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the vehicle
pulling to one side when braking could
result in a serious accident. Light braking
will indicate whether the brakes have been
affected.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
¾Do not drive with your foot held on the
clutch pedal or brake pedal, or hold the
clutch pedal depressed halfway
unnecessarily. Doing so could result in
the following:
¾The clutch and brake parts will wear
out more quickly.
¾The brakes can overheat and adversely
affect brake performance.
¾Always depress the brake pedal with the
right foot. Applying the brakes with the
unaccustomed left foot could slow your
reaction time to an emergency situation
resulting in insufficient braking
operation.

NOTE
If something such as the driver's foot
contacts the accelerator pedal with the
engine running and the parking brake
applied, the parking brake may be
released automatically. If you do not
intend to drive immediately, shift the
change lever (manual transaxle) to the
neutral position, or shift the selector lever
(automatic transaxle) to the P or N
position.

NOTE
xWhen the brake pedal is depressed hard
or depressed more quickly, the pedal
will feel softer but the brakes will apply
more firmly. This is a normal effect of
the brake assist operation and does not
indicate a malfunction.
xWhen the brake pedal is depressed hard
or depressed more quickly, a motor/
pump operation noise may be heard.
This is a normal effect of the brake
assist and does not indicate a
malfunction.
xThe brake assist equipment does not
supersede the functionality of the
vehicle's main braking system.

Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for safe
driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle too
closely), driving on ice and snow, and
hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an accident.
NOTE
xBraking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these conditions
because the tyres will build up a wedge
of surface layer when the wheels skid.
xThe sound of the ABS operating may be
heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the vehicle,
however, it does not indicate a
malfunction.

Do not rely on the Traction Control System
(TCS) as a substitute for safe driving:
The Traction Control System (TCS) cannot
compensate for unsafe and reckless
driving, excessive speed, tailgating
(following another vehicle too closely), and
hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an accident.
Use snow tyres or tyre chains and drive at
reduced speeds when roads are covered
with ice and/or snow:
Driving without proper traction devices on
snow and/or ice-covered roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control System
(TCS) alone cannot provide adequate
traction and you could still have an
accident.
NOTE
To turn off the TCS, press the DSC OFF
switch (page 4-121).

NOTE
xWhen DSC is on and you attempt to free
the vehicle when it is stuck, or drive it
out of freshly fallen snow, the TCS (part
of the DSC system) will activate.
Depressing the accelerator will not
increase engine power and freeing the
vehicle may be difficult. When this
happens, turn off the TCS/DSC.
xIf the TCS/DSC is off when the engine is
turned off, it automatically activates
when the ignition is switched ON.
xLeaving the TCS/DSC on will provide
the best traction.
xIf the DSC OFF switch is pressed and
held for 10 seconds or more, the DSC
OFF switch malfunction detection
function operates and the DSC system
activates automatically. The DSC OFF
indicator light turns off while the DSC
system is operative.
x(Vehicles with Advanced Smart City
Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) or
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS))
If the Advanced Smart City Brake
Support (Advanced SCBS) or Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) operates with the
TCS/DSC turned off, the TCS/DSC
becomes operational automatically.
