Keys and doors
& To lock and unlock the trunk
lid release leverWhen you entrust your vehicle key to
another person, you can lock the trunk lid
release lever to prevent luggage in the
trunk from being stolen. To lock the trunk
lid release lever, insert the master key or
submaster key into the key cylinder at the
rear of the release lever and turn it
counterclockwise. Then, entrust the per-
son with the valet key only. To unlock the
trunk lid release lever, turn the key clock-
wise.&Internal trunk lid release
handleThe internal trunk lid release handle is a
device designed to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. In the event children or
adults become locked inside the trunk, the
handle allows them to open the lid. The
handle is located on the inside of the trunk
lid.
To open the trunk lid from inside the trunk,
pull the yellow handle upward as indicated
by the arrow on the handle.
This operation unlocks the trunk lid. Then,
push up the lid.
The handle is made of material that
remains luminescent for approximately
an hour in the dark trunk space after it is
exposed to ambient light even for a short
time.
WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release
handle. If the driver starts the vehi-
cle without knowing that a child is
inside the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.
CAUTION
.
Do not close the lid while grip-
ping the release handle. The
handle may be damaged.
. Do not use the handle as a hook
to fasten straps or ropes to
secure your cargo in the trunk.
Such use may result in damage
of the handle.
. Load the trunk so that cargo can
not strike the release handle. If
the cargo hits the handle while
the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pulled up and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic
safety hazard.

& Average fuel consumption1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. modelsThis indication shows the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset.
When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset.NOTE. The indicated values vary in accor-
dance with changes in the vehicle ’s
running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the
actual values and should thus be
treated only as a guide.
. When either trip meter indication is
reset, the average fuel consumption corresponding to that trip meter indica-
tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km).
&
Turn off display of fuel con-
sumption indicatorThe display of the fuel consumption
indicator can be turned off.
To turn off the display of the indicator, turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK”position
and press the “+”button adjacent to the
information display for approximately 5
seconds. Then, the information display
and the clock display will blink for 3
seconds to notify that the display of the
fuel consumption has been turned off.
To restore the indicator, once again press
the “+”button for approximately 5 sec-
onds.NOTE. The initial display setting of the fuel
consumption indicator of your vehicle
has been set to operational at the time
of shipment from the factory.
. The average fuel consumption is
calculated even while the indicator is
not displayed.
. Even if you turn off the fuel con-
sumption indicator, the fuel consump-
tion indicator will automatically turn on when the battery voltage is discon-
nected and then reconnected for bat-
tery replacement or fuse replacement.

Illumination brightness con-
trolThe brightness of clock display, audio, air
conditioner, information display and instru-
ment panel illumination dims when the
light switch is in the “
”or “
”
positions. You can adjust brightness of
the instrument panel illumination for better
visibility.
You can also adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel illumination when the
lighting switch is in the “OFF”position.
To brighten, turn the control dial upward.
To darken, turn the control dial downward.
NOTEWhen the control dial is turned fully
upward, the illumination brightness
becomes the maximum and the auto-
matic dimming function does not work
at all.
Headlight beam leveler (if
equipped)The vehicle has High-Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlights on the low beam setting.
The HID headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience too much glare when your
headlight beam height adjustment is high
due to the vehicle carrying a heavy load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used
to adjust beam height to avoid such a
condition.
Adjust the headlight beam level with the
following dial positions according to the
number of passengers and load condition.
