Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip-
ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for
equipment not installed on your vehicle.

from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine
Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

mance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations.

the following situations, the communication between the access key and the
vehicle may be affected, preventing the keyless access with push button
start system, remote keyless entry system and engine immobilizer system
from operating properly. (Way of coping →P. 394)

●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
