Air conditioning system operation tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle escape.
• After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside air position.
• To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.
• Use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
• If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause
the outer surface of the windshield to
fog up, causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection button
to the (
) position and set the fan
speed control knob to the lowest
speed setting.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal usage.
If power is not supplied to your vehicle
such as when the battery is discharged
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 interrupted.
WARNING
Take the following precautions: • Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
• When descending a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid
continuous application of the brakes.
Applying the brakes continuously
will cause the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary loss of
braking performance.
• 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 fashion
after driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, lightly tap the brake
pedal to heat up the brakes while
maintaining a safe forward speed
until brake performance returns to
normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
NOTICE
• Do not continue depressing the
brake pedal if the "" indicator 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 activated
while braking.
Disc brakes 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.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.
