The hazard warning lights warn
other drivers that your vehicle is a
traffic hazard and that they must
take extreme caution when near
it.
Depress the hazard warning
flasher and all the turn signals will
flash. The hazard warning indica-
tor lights in the combination meter
flash simultaneously.
●The turn signals do not work when the hazard warning lights are on.
● Check local regulations about the use of hazard warning lights while the
vehicle is being towed to verify that it is not in violation of the law.
The hazard warning lights should always be used when you stop
on or near a roadway in an emergency.

3-5. Brake
WARNING
■Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary device for accelerating from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates for about two seconds and therefore,
relying only on the system, when accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the vehicle’s load or if it is towing some-
thing. In addition, for vehicles with a manual transaxle, the vehicle could still
roll depending on how the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the v ehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

3-10. Active Safety System
●The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) sy stem will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering
wheel).
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the follow-
ing conditions.
• The engine is running.
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not
illuminate.
• The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
• The DSC is not malfunctioning.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently,
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used
when it’s raining.
• The windshield is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or
high profile.
• Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
● Under the following conditions, the Sm art City Brake Support (SCBS) sys-
tem may not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser sensor.
• Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising from manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
• When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
• When driving with tires having significantly different wear.

When Driving
If the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) is operating, the indicator
light (red) flashes.
●The collision warning beep sounds intermittently while the SCBS brake or
brake assist (SCBS brake assist) is operating.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the SCBS operation and the brake pedal is not
depressed, the warning beep sounds one time after about 2 seconds and
the SCBS brake is automatically released.
WARNING
■Do not modify the suspension
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Smart City Brake Sup-
port (SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which
could cause a serious accident.
■ Turn off the Smart City Brake Suppor t (SCBS) when the vehicle is run-
ning on a chassis roller or being towed
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken
operation when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation
on P. 210.
NOTICE
●When driving off-road in ar eas where there is grass or forage, it is recom-
mended that the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
● Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) system may not operate normally.

2494-2. Audio System
4
Interior Features
●Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a
transmitter tower. The broad-
cast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise
and sound breakup at the
radio receiver.
● Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two strong stations broad-
casting at similar frequencies, the original station may be tempo-
rarily lost and the second station picked up. At this time there will
be some noise from this disturbance.
Station 1
88.1 MHz
Station 2
88.3 MHz
■Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater when the vehicle is cold, the
CD or optical components (prism and lens) in the CD player may
become clouded with condensation. At this time, the CD will eject
immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by wiping it with a soft cloth.
Clouded optical components will clear naturally in about an hour.
Wait for normal operation to return before attempting to use the
unit.

Interior Features
■To prevent a deterioration in the voice recognition rate and
voice quality, the following points should be observed:
●The voice recognition cannot be performed while voice guidance
or the beep sound is operating. Wait until the voice guidance or
the beep sound is finished before saying your commands.
● Phone related commands are available only when your phone is
connected via Bluetooth
®. Make sure your phone is connected
via Bluetooth® before you operate phone related voice com-
mands.
● Music play commands, such as Play Artist and Play Album can
be used only in USB audio mode.
● Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no loud voice).
● Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
● Dialects or different wording other than hands-free prompts can-
not be recognized by voice recognition. Speak in the wording
specified by the voice commands.
● It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak
the voice commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
● Close the windows to reduce loud noises from outside the vehi-
cle, or turn down the airflow of the air-conditioning system while
Bluetooth
® Hands-Free is being used.
● Make sure the vents are not directing air up towards the micro-
phone.
If the voice recognition performance is not satisfactory.

Maintenance and Care
●When raising both windshield wiper arms, raise the driver’s side wiper arm
first. When lowering the wi per arms, slowly lower the wiper arm from the
passenger’s side first while supporting it with your hand. Forcefully lowering
the wiper arms could damage the wiper arm and blade, and may scratch or
crack the windshield.
● Install the blade so that the tabs are toward the bottom of the wiper arm.
NOTICE
●Hot waxes applied by automatic car washers have been known to affect
the wiper’s ability to clean windows.
● To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
● To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
● To prevent damage to the windshield let the wiper arm down easily, don’t
let it slap down on the windshield.
● Do not bend or discard the stiffeners. You need to use them again.
● If the metal stiffeners are switched, the blade’s wiping efficiency could be
reduced.
So don’t use the driver’s side metal stiffeners on the passenger’s side, or
vice versa.
● Be sure to reinstall the metal stiffeners in the new blade rubber so that the
curve is the same as it was in the old blade rubber.
