3-5. Brake
WARNING
■Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary device for acceleratin g from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates for about 2 seconds and th erefore,
relying only on the system, when accelerating from a stop is da ngerous
because the vehicle may move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an a ccident.
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 vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Co nsequently,
the Low Speed Pre-Collision System may not operate under the following
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicl e ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.

• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and e xiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers
the laser sensor.

3-10. Active Safety System
If the Low Speed Pre-Collision
System is operating, the indicator
light (red) flashes.
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 Low Sp eed Pre-Colli-
sion System not operating normally or mistakenly operating, whi ch could
cause a serious accident.
■ Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System when the vehicle is run-
ning on a chassis roller or being towed
Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation on P. 233.
NOTICE
●When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recom-
mended that the Low Speed Pre-Collision 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 Low Speed

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 o f 2 strong stations broadcast-
ing at similar frequencies, the original station may be tempora rily
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
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3, which is standardized voice
compression establ ished by the ISO
*1 working group (MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be compressed to approximat ely
a tenth of the source data size.
This unit plays files with the extension (.mp3) as MP3 files.
*1: International Organization for Standardization
• When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add an MP3 file extension
(.mp3) after the file name.
• The number of characters which can be displayed is restricted.
