This
symbol indicates that the vents are
closed. Moving the control to this
direction will close the vents.
m :
This
symbol indicates that the vents are
open. Moving the control to this direc-
tion will open the vents.
Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by moving
the centre knob (up/down, left/right) until the de-
sired position is achieved. WARNING
• The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
• Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-
ther. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and
inadvertently become involved in
aserious ac-
cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in aclosed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up.
• Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning
controls while driving so that full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate even if
the engine is turned off and the ignition switch is
placed in the ONposition.
NOTE
• Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (where fit-
ted) is running, and is safely discharged un-
derneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal. •
Odours from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odour
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odours inside
the vehicle.

WARNING
• Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and
inadvertently become involved in aserious ac-
cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in aclosed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal illness to people or animals.
• Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In
asudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
NOTE
During the first few months after purchasing a
new vehicle, if you smell strong odours of Vola-
tile Organic Compounds (VOCs) inside the ve-
hicle, ventilate the passenger compartment thor-
oughly. Open all the windows before entering or
while in the vehicle. In addition, when the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment rises, or
when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight for a
period of time, turn off the air recirculation mode
of the air conditioner and/or open the windows
to allow sufficient fresh air into the passenger
compartment. EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide) WARNING
• Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains co-
lourless and odourless carbon monoxide. Car-
bon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
• If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open, and have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
• Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as
ag arage.
• Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for an extended period of time.
• If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to
atrailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
• If
as pecial body or other equipment is added
for recreational or other usage, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also
generate carbon monoxide.)
• The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by
aqualified mechanic whenever:
–Y our vehicle is raised while being serviced. –Y
ou suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
–Y ou notice achange in the sound of the
exhaust system.
–Y ou have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
AdBlue® SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM (where
fitted for diesel engine model)
AdBlue® or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is anon-
toxic solution of 32.5% urea in de-ionized water.
This fluid is sprayed into the exhaust system of die-
sel vehicles to cause achemical reaction that breaks
down potentially dangerous NOx (nitrogen oxides)
emissions into harmless nitrogen and water. This
system is called Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR). AdBlue® fluid is not afuel additive and is
never mixed with diesel fuel. It is always stored in a
separate tank on the vehicle.
AdBlue® will begin to freeze below -11°C (12°F). If
you often drive in areas where the temperature is
below -11°C (12°F), the AdBlue® tank should al-
ways be filled with AdBlue® at the beginning of the
cold season to ensure enough defrosting capacity with heating.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
Starting and driving5-3
Page 226 of 340
NOTE
When the Stop/Start System indicator illumi-
nates, the engine starts running automatically
under at least one of the following conditions:
• The battery voltage becomes low (due to elec-
trical load from other vehicle systems like
headlights, heaters, etc., or auxiliary devices
connected to the 12 volt socket inside the
vehicle).
• The vehicle speed is above about
2km/h (1
MPH).
• The front defogger is operated.
• When the temperature inside the vehicle is
too high or low. (When the air conditioner is
off, the Stop/Start System will operate.)
• When the front defogger is turned on. (The
engine may not start depending on the out-
side temperature.)
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the power consumption is high.
• When the clutch pedal is depressed.
CAUTION
Only engage gear when the clutch pedal is fully
depressed. NOTE
The following conditions will prevent the Stop/
Start System from automatically restarting the
engine. Starting the engine with the ignition
switch operation is then necessary:
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened, and driv-
er’s door is open.
• The bonnet is open.
Use this system while waiting at stoplight, etc. When
the vehicle is stopped for long periods of time, turn
off the engine.
When the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, heating, cooling and dehumidifying functions
will be deactivated. To avoid the air conditioning
functions from being deactivated, turn off the Idling
Stop mode by pressing the Stop/Start OFF switch.
STOP/START SYSTEM DISPLAY

played for
