washer.
The wipers will automatically operate a couple of times after the washer squirts.
(After operating several times, the wipers
operate once more time
after a short delay
to prevent dripping. However, the dripping
prevention does not operate while the
vehicle is moving.)
■The windshield wiper and washer can be
operated when
The engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode .
■Raindrop sensor
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount
of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.
●If the wiper is turned to “AUTO” position
while the engine switch is
in IGNITION ON mode ,
the wipers will operat e once to show that
“AUTO” mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor
is 185°F (85°C) or higher, or -22°F (-
30°C) or lower, automatic operation
may not occur. In this case, operate the
wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not
blocked if there is washer fluid in the wind-
shield washer fluid reservoir.

1824-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Front door opening linked windshield
wiper stop function
When “AUTO” is selected and the wind-
shield wipers are operatin g, if a front door is
opened, the operation of the windshield
wipers will be stopped to prevent anyone
near the vehicle from being sprayed by
water from the wipers, provided the vehicle
is stopped. When the front door is closed,
wiper operation will resume.
■To protect the windshield wipers
If movement of the windshield wipers is
largely restricted by a foreign object such as
snow, the operation of the windshield wip-
ers may be stopped automatically to pro-
tect the windshield wipe rs. In this case, turn
the windshield wiper switch off and remove
the foreign object, and then use the wind-
shield wipers.
■When stopping the engine tem> in an emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when
the engine is stopped, the
windshield wipers will operate in high speed
operation. After the vehicle is stopped,
operation will return to normal when the
engine switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode , or
operation will stop when the driver’s door is
opened.
■Customization
The rain-sensing oper ation setting can be
changed.
(Customizable features:  P.395)When the windshield wipers are not
being used, they retract to below the
hood. To enable the windshield wipers
to be lifted when parking in cold condi-
tions or when replacing a windshield
wiper insert, change the rest position of
the windshield wipers to the service
position using the wiper lever.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of wind-
shield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate
unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subj ect to vibration in
“AUTO” mode. Take care that your fin-
gers or anything else do not become
caught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer
fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid until the windshield becomes warm.

Before refueling the vehicle
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while
refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before
opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surf ace to discharge
any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static elec tricity before refu-
eling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors
to ignite while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank
cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard
when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard
before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray
out the filler neck and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not dis-
charged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel
tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the vehi-
cle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite
and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch
any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to
build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the
fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel noz-
zle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.

• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-collision
system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or
other objects)
• Images from the camera sensor (available only when the pre-colli-
sion braking function or the pre-col-
lision brake assist function was
operating)
The pre-collision system does not
record conversations, sounds or
images of the inside of the vehicle.
