fan.
Information
For better sound quality, fan speed

POWER button is in the ON posi-
tion could cause the battery to
discharge. Operate the blower
when the vehicle is in the ready
() mode.
Driver only
If you press the DRIVER ONLY
( ) button, the indicator light
will illuminate. In this mode the cli-
mate control system blows air prima-
rily through the two left-most vents
(nearest the driver).The purpose of the DRIVER ONLY
option helps to reduce energy con-
sumption from the climate control
system when only the driver is in the
vehicle.
Note that the DRIVER ONLY function
will be disabled when:
1) The DRIVER ONLY button is de-
selected (indicator light OFF)
2) Whenever the FRONT Defroster
button is selected.
The DRIVER ONLY indicator light will
remain illuminated, but air will flow
through all upper vents towards the
windshield glass for as long as the

Power Outlet
The power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for 12V accessories or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 180 W
with the vehicle in the ready ( )
mode.To prevent damage to the Power
Outlets :
Use the power outlet only when
the vehicle is in the ready ()
mode and remove the accessory
plug after use. Using the acces-
sory plug for prolonged periods
of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric acces-
sories which are less than 180 W
in electric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or
heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can
cause electronic interference
when plugged into a vehicle's
power outlet. These devices may
cause excessive audio static
and malfunctions in other elec-
tronic systems or devices used
in your vehicle. Push the plug in as far as it will
go. If good contact is not made,
the plug may overheat and the
fuse may open.
Plug in battery equipped electri-
cal/electronic devices with
reverse current protection. The
current from the battery may
flow into the vehicle's electri-
cal/electronic system and cause
system malfunction.
NOTICE
Avoid electrical shocks. Do not
place your fingers or foreign
objects (pin, etc.) into a power
outlet or touch the power outlet
with a wet hand.

Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If power is not supplied to your vehi-
cle such as when the battery is dis-
charged or the vehicle is turned off
while driving, the power assist for the
brakes will not work. You can still stop
your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will
be longer than with power brakes.
Do not pump the brake pedal when
the power assist has been interrupt-
ed.

Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
When descending down a
long or steep hill, use the pad-
dle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking
in order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal
excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will
cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a tempo-
rary loss of braking perform-
ance.
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.WARNING

5-30
Driving your vehicle
Do not continue depressing the
brake pedal if the "
"indica-
tor is OFF. The battery may be
discharged.
Noise and vibration generated
during braking is normal.
Under normal operation, electric
brake pump noise and motor
vibration may occur temporarily
in below cases.
- When the pedal is depressed
suddenly.
- When the pedal is repeatedly
depressed in short intervals.
- When the ABS function is acti-
vated while braking.
Disc Brake Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high pitched warning sound from
your front or rear brakes. You may
hear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB)
Applying the parking brake
To apply the EPB (Electronic
Parking Brake):
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Pull the EPB switch upwards.
Make sure the Parking Brake
Warning Light comes on.
With the Auto Hold feature enabled,
the EPB is automatically applied
when the vehicle is shut off.
