Before driving
1Folds the mirrors 
2 Extends the mirrors
Putting the outside rear view mirror  
folding switch in the neutral position 
sets the mirrors to automatic mode.
Automatic mode allows the folding or 
extending of the mirrors to be linked to 
locking/unlocking of the doors with the 
smart entry function or wireless remote 
control.
■Using automatic mode in cold  
weather 
When automatic mode is used in cold  weather, the door mirror could freeze up  
and automatic stowing and return may  not be possible. In this case, remove any ice and snow from the door mirror,  
then either operate the mirror using  manual mode or move the mirror by hand.
■Customization 
Some functions can be customized.  ( P.359)

4-1. Before driving
WARNING
●Do not drive the vehicle over or  stop the vehicle near flammable  
materials. The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These  
hot parts may cause a fire if there is  any flammable material nearby.
●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss  
of steering or braking control, but  the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more  
difficult to steer and brake, so you  should pull over and stop the vehi-cle as soon as it is safe to do so. 
However, in the event of an emer- gency, such as if it becomes impos-sible to stop the vehicle in the  
normal way:  P. 3 0 4
●Use engine braking (downshift) to  
maintain a safe speed when driving  down a steep hill.Using the brakes continuously may  
cause the brakes to overheat and  lose effectiveness. ( P.137)
●Do not adjust the positions of the  steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors  
while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their  
body are not outside the vehicle.
●Do not drive the vehicle off-road.
This is not an AWD vehicle  designed for off-road driving. Pro-ceed with all due caution if it  
becomes unavoidable to drive off- road.
●Do not drive across a river or through other bodies of water.This may cause electric/electronic  
components to short circuit, dam- age the engine or cause other seri-ous damage to the vehicle.
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control  
the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine brak-
ing due to shifting, or changes in  engine speed could cause the vehi-cle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to  
make sure that the brakes are func- tioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from func- 
tioning properly. If the brakes on  only one side are wet and not func-tioning properly, steering control  
may be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Do not shift the shift lever to R while  the vehicle is moving forward.Doing so can damage the transmis- 
sion and may result in a loss of  vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a driv-ing position while the vehicle is moving backward. 
Doing so can damage the transmis- sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the  
engine from the transmission.  Engine braking is not available when N is selected.

Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to

BSM (Blind Spot Moni- 
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a  
system that uses rear side  
radar sensors installed on the  
inner side of the rear bumper  
on the left and right side to  
assist the driver in confirming  
safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of  
the system 
The driver is solely responsible for  safe driving. Always drive safely, tak- 
ing care to observe your surround- ings. 
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple- 
mentary function which alerts the  driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is  
approaching rapidly from behind into  a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the  
Blind Spot Monitor. As the function  cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an  
accident resulting in death or serious  injury. 
As the system may not function cor- 
rectly under certain conditions, the  driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

Vehicles that are approaching rapidly from behind in areas that  are not  
visible using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
■The Blind Spot Monitor detection areas 
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
The range of each detection area is:
Approximately 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) to 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) from either s ide of the  
vehicle*1
Approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) forward of the rear bumper 
Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) from the rear bumper 
Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) to  60 m (197 ft.) from the rear bumper*2
*1: The area between the side of the vehicle and 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) from the side of the  
vehicle cannot be detected.
*2: The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and t he detected vehi- 
cle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing  the outside rear view  
mirror indicator to illuminate or flash.

5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger 
To return to the previous mode, press  
the windshield defogger switch again 
when the windshield is defogged. 
When the windshield defogger switch is  
on, the indicator illuminates on the 
windshield defogger switch.
■Defogging the rear window  
and outside rear view mirrors 
Defoggers are used to defog the  
rear window, and to remove rain- 
drops, dew and frost from the out- 
side rear view mirrors. 
Press the rear window and outside  
rear view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off  
after a while. 
When the rear window and outside rear  
view mirror defoggers switch is on, the 
indicator illuminates on the rear window 
and outside rear view mirror defoggers 
switch.
■Using the Climate Preference 
1 Press the automatic mode  
switch. 
2 Press the “FAST/ECO” switch. 
Each time the “FAST/ECO” switch  
is pressed, the fan speed setting  
mode toggles as follows. 
Normal   “ECO”  “FAST”  Nor- 
mal 
When “ECO” is displayed on the air  
conditioning screen, the air condi- 
tioning is controlled with low fuel  
consumption prioritized such as  
reducing fan speed, etc. 
When “FAST” is displayed on the  
screen, fan speed will be  
increased.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when  the humidity in the vehicle is high.  
Turning “A/C” on will dehumidify the  air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads 
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by  the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recom- 
mended that the air intake mode be set  to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in pre- 
venting dirty air from entering the  vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air tempera- 
ture is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may 
automatically switch depending on the  temperature setting or the inside tem-perature.
■When the outside temperature falls  
to nearly 0°C (32°F) 
The dehumidification function may not  operate even when “A/C” switch is  
pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning  odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accumulate in the air conditioning  
system. This may then cause odor to  be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occur-ring:
