i-ACTIV AWD Operation
▼i-ACTIV AWD Operation
AWD provides excellent drivability on
snow-covered and ice-packed roads,
sand and mud, as well as on steep
slopes and other slippery surfaces.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to AWD Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-56.
WARNING
Never spin a wheel that is off the
ground:
Spinning a wheel that is off the ground
as a result of the vehicle being stuck or
in a ditch is dangerous. The drive
assembly could be seriously damaged
which could lead to an accident or
could even lead to overheating, oil
leakage, and a
fire.
▼AWD Driving
This vehicle has not been designed for
the purpose of off-road driving or
rallies. Do not attempt to drive over
uneven or rocky surfaces, or across
rivers.
Although this vehicle is equipped with
AWD, acceleration, steering and
braking operations should be
conducted in the same manner as with
a non-AWD vehicle, with the emphasis
placed on safe driving.
▼Ty re s a n d Ty re C h a i n s
The condition of the tyres plays a large
role in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to
the drive assembly, please note the
following:
Ty re s
xWhen replacing tyres, always replace
all front and rear tyres at the same
time.
xAll tyres must be of the same size,
manufacture, brand and tread
pattern. Pay particular attention
when equipping snow or other types
of winter tyres.
xDo not mix tread-worn tyres with
normal tyres.
xInspect tyre
inflation pressures at the
specified periods adjust to the
specified pressures.
NOTE
Check the tyre
inflation pressure label
attached to driver's door frame for the
correct tyre
inflation pressure.
xMake sure to equip the vehicle with
genuine tyres of the specified size,
on all wheels. With AWD, the system

High Beam Control
System (HBC)
*
▼High Beam Control System (HBC)
The HBC determines the conditions in
front of the vehicle using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in
darkness to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low
beams.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of
about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the
headlights are switched to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
The system switches the headlights to
low beams when one of the following
occurs:
xThe system detects a vehicle or the
headlights/lights of a vehicle
approaching in the opposite
direction.
xThe vehicle is driven on roads lined
with streetlamps or on roads in
well-lit cities and towns.
xThe vehicle is driven at less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph).
xThe headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams
are on.
1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)*1
*1 The recognition distance of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) varies according to
the surrounding conditions.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to High Beam Control System
(HBC) Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Amber) on page 7-58.
CAUTION
¾Do not adjust the vehicle height,
modify the headlight units, or

Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the warning indications
in the display and a warning sound if
the front radar sensor and Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that
there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle ahead, pedestrian, or a
bicycle. Furthermore, if a collision is
unavoidable, the automatic brake
control is performed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision. In addition,
when the driver depresses the brake
pedal, the brakes are applied firmly
and quickly to assist.
(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
When the SBS determines that the
driver is not paying attention to the
road using the driver monitoring
camera and it determines that there is
the possibility of a collision with an
obstruction, the SBS activates the
collision warning earlier than normal.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The ability to detect obstructions is
limited depending on the obstructions,
weather conditions, or
traffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system
off to prevent an unexpected
operation.
¾The vehicle is being towed or when
towing another vehicle.
¾The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
¾When driving on rough roads such as
in areas of dense grass or off-road.
