WARNING:
. Radio waves couldadversely affectelectric
medical equipment. Thosewhouseapace-
maker should contact theelectric medical
equipment manufacturer forthe possible
influences beforeuse.
. The Intelligent Keytransmits radiowaves
when thebuttons arepushed. Theradio
waves mayaffect aircraft navigation and
communication systems.Donot operate the
Intelligent Keywhile onanairplane. Make
sure thebuttons arenot operated uninten-
tionally whentheunit isstored during a
flight.
The Intelligent Key system canoperate allthe door
(including theback door) locksusing theremote
controller functionorpushing therequest switchon
the vehicle without takingthekey outfrom apocket or
purse. Theoperating environment and/orconditions
may affect theIntelligent Key system operation. Be
sure toread thefollowing beforeusingthe
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION:
. Besure tocarry theIntelligent Keywith you
when operating thevehicle.
. Never leavetheIntelligent Keyinthe vehicle
when youleave thevehicle.
The Intelligent Key isalways communicating withthe
vehicle asitreceives radiowaves. TheIntelligent Key
system transmits weakradiowaves. Environmental
conditions mayinterfere withtheoperation ofthe
Intelligent Key system underthefollowing operating
conditions.
. When operating nearalocation wherestrong
radio waves aretransmitted, suchasaTV tower,
power station andbroadcasting station.
. When inpossession ofwireless equipment, such
as acellular telephone, transceiver, andCBradio.
. When theIntelligent Key isin contact withor
covered bymetallic materials.
. When anytype ofradio wave remote controlis
used nearby .
. When theIntelligent Key isplaced nearanelectric
appliance suchasapersonal computer.
. When thevehicle isparked nearaparking meter.
In such cases, correct theoperating conditions before
using theIntelligent Key function oruse themechanical
key .
Although thelifeofthe battery variesdepending onthe
operating conditions, thebattery's lifeisapproximately
2 years. Ifthe battery isdischarged, replaceitwith a
new one.
For information regardingreplacement ofabattery ,see
ªIntelligent Key batteryº (P.8-20) . Since
theIntelligent Key iscontinuously receivingradio
waves, ifthe key isleft near equipment whichtransmits
strong radiowaves, suchassignals fromaTV and
personal computer, thebattery lifemay become
shorter.
Because thesteering wheelislocked electrically ,
unlocking thesteering wheelwiththeignition switchin
the ªLOCKº position isimpossible whenthevehicle
battery iscompletely discharged. Payspecial attention
that thevehicle batteryisnot completely discharged.
As many as4Intelligent Keys can beused withone

WARNING:
The Brake Assist isonly anaid toassist braking
operation andisnot acollision warningor
avoidance device.Itis the driver's responsibility
to stay alert, drivesafely andbeincontrol ofthe
vehicle atall times.
ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) (if
equipped)
GUID-C5C2B DDA-1861-49E4-A3EF -B800D31DBF5F
WARNING:
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)isa
sophisticated device,butitcannot prevent
accidents resultingfromcareless ordanger-
ous driving techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking onslippery
surfaces. Remember thatstopping distances
on slippery surfaces willbelonger thanon
normal surfaces evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger onrough,
gravel orsnow covered roads,orifyou are using
tirechains. Always maintain asafe
distance fromthevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible for
safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso affect
braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install thespeci-
fied size oftires onallfour wheels.
Ð When installing aspare tire,make sure
that itis the proper sizeandtype as
specified onthe tire placard. (SeeªTire
placardº (P.9-9) .)
Ð For detailed information, seeªTires and
wheelsº (P.8-31) .
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls the
brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hardbraking
or when braking onslippery surfaces. Thesystem
detects therotation speedateach wheel andvaries
the brake fluidpressure toprevent eachwheel from
locking andsliding. Bypreventing eachwheel from
locking, thesystem helpsthedriver maintain steering
control andhelps tominimize swerving andspinning
on slippery surfaces.
Using system
GUID-331 31E90-4EC6 -4CBB-B87D-88A622F21705
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown. Depress
the brake pedal withfirmsteady pressure, butdonot
pump thebrakes. TheABS willoperate toprevent the
wheels fromlocking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid
obstacles.
WARNING:
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingsomay
result inincreased stoppingdistances.
