CAUTION
●Do not operate the washer continuously for
more than 30 seconds.
● Do not operate the washer if the reservoir
tank is empty.
● Do not fill the window washer reservoir tank
with washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol based
washer fluid concentrates may permanently
stain the grille if spilled while filling the win-
dow washer reservoir tank.
● Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with wa-
ter to the manufacturer’s recommended lev-

example, when the vehicle speed is high,
the intermittent operation speed will be
faster.) To turn this function on and off, see
“HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON” in the “4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section.
For models with the rain-sensing auto wiper
system, see “RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM” later in this section.

The autolight system can turn on the headlights
automatically when it is dark and turn off the
headlights when it is light.
If the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position and one of the doors is opened and
this condition is continued, the headlights re-
main on for 5 minutes.
Automatic headlights off delay :
You can keep the headlights on for up to 180
seconds after you push the ignition switch to
OFF and open any door then close all the doors.
You can adjust the period of the automatic
headlights off delay from 0 seconds (OFF) to 180
seconds. The factory default setting is 45 sec-
onds.
For automatic headlights off delay setting, see
“Light Off Delay” in the “4. Monitor, climate,
audio, phone and voice recognition systems”
section.Be sure not to put anything on top of the photo
sensor
Alocated on the top of the instrument
panel. The photo sensor controls the autolight;
if it is covered, the photo sensor reacts as if it is
dark and the headlights will illuminate.Headlight beam select

For driving or starting the vehicle on snowy
roads or slippery areas, turn on the SNOW
mode switch. The indicator light
1on the
switch will illuminate. When the SNOW mode is
activated, engine output is controlled to avoid
wheel spin. The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “VEHICLE
DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.) If the power supply is disconnected, the clock
will not indicate the correct time. Readjust the
time.
ADJUSTING THE TIME
1. To set the clock forward, push the button
1.
2. To set the clock backward, push the but- ton
2.
3. To move forward or backward faster, push and hold the button more than 5 seconds.
For details about display clock adjustment (if so
equipped), see “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON”
in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems” section.

the lights will illuminate under the following
condition:
● any door is opened with the ignition switch
in any position
– remain on while the door is opened. When the door is closed, the lights go off.
