With the ignition switch in the “ON” or“ACC” position or the
operation mode in ON
or ACC, push the mirror retractor switch toretract the mirrors. Push it again to extend themirrors to their original positions.After placing the ignition switch in the“LOCK” position or the operation mode inOFF, it is possible to
retract and extend the
mirrors using the mirror retractor switch forapproximately 30 seconds.
[Vehicles with the keyless entry system]The mirrors automatically retract or extendwhen the doors are locked or unlocked usingthe remote control switches of the keylessentry system.Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 5-7.[Vehicles with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T-key)]The mirrors automatically retract or extendwhen the doors are locked or unlocked usingthe remote control switches or the F.A.S.T-key.Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 5-30or “To operate using the F.A.S.T.-key” onpage 5-15.
For vehicles equipped with the mirrorretractor switchRetracting and extending the mir-rors using the mirror retractor switch
CAUTIONIt is possible to retract and extend the mirrorsby hand. After retracti
ng a mirror using the
mirror retractor switch, however, you shouldextend it by using the switch again, not byhand. If you extended the mirror by handafter retracting it using
the switch, it would
not properly lock in pos
ition. As a result, it
could move because of the wind or vibrationwhile you are driving, taking away your rear-ward visibility.NOTE
Be careful not to get your hands trappedwhile a mirror is moving.If you move a mirror by hand or it movesafter hitting a person or object, you may notbe able to return it to its original positionusing the mirror retractor switch. If this hap-pens, push the mirror retractor switch toplace the mirror in its
retracted position and
then push the switch again to return the mir-ror to its original position.When freezing has occurred and mirrors failto operate as intended,
please refrain from
repeated pushing of the retractor switch asthis action can result in burn-out of the mir-ror motor circuits.

(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting” on page 5-13.[Except for vehicles equipped with theFree-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key).]Do not operate the starter motor continu-ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould run the battery
down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start,turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF”or “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,and then try again. Trying repeatedly withthe engine or starter motor still turningwill damage the starter mechanism.If the engine will not
start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to“Jump-starting the engine” (on page 8-2)for instructions.A longer warm up period will only con-sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed upenough for driving when the bar graph ofengine coolant temper
ature display starts
to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool-ant temperature display” on page 5-161 or“Low coolant temper
ature indicator” on
page 5-202.
This model is equipped with an electronicallycontrolled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls fuel injection.There is usually no need to depress the accel-erator pedal when starting the engine.The starter should not be run for more than 15seconds at a time.To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine.1. Make sure all occupants are properlyseated with seat belts fastened.

Overuse of the brake can cause weakening,resulting in poor brake response and prema-ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, useengine braking
by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with less brake pedaleffort.Your brakes are designed to operate at fullcapacity, even if the power assist is not beingused.If the power assist is not being used, the effortneeded to press the brake pedal is greater.If you should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work.If the power brake unit or either of the twobrake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, the rest of the brake system will stillwork, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly.You will know this has happened if you findyou need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis-play in the multi-information display comeon.
To w i n g
CAUTIONDo not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with thefront or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrate
d. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment.Even in “4WD ECO” (Electronically con-trolled 4WD) or “AWC ECO” (S-AWC)drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towedwith the front or the rear wheels on theground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N GDo not crank the engine while jacking upthe vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and thevehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N GDo not leave any objects near the brakepedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTIONIt is important not to drive the vehicle withyour foot resting on the brake pedal whenbraking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.
