WARNING

■

When starting the engine

Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

■

Caution while driving

If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the
doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the
steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.

■

Stopping the engine in an emergency

●

If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it
briefly 3 times or more in succession. (

P. 521)

However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. 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 vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

●

If the engine switch is operated while the vehicle is running, a warning
message will be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer
sounds.

●

When restarting the engine after it was turned off while driving, shift the
shift lever to N and press the engine switch.

■

When parking

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless
and odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle and may
lead to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a
serious health hazard.

●

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the engine.

●

Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. If such a
situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure
that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

●

Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it
is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

Automatic transmission

While the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, move the
shift lever with the brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that
the vehicle is completely stopped.

: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for

the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recom-
mended for normal driving.

: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possi-

ble gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents unneces-
sary upshifting.

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.

●

After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

●

Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause injury.

●

Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.

●

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

●

Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

in  an  extremely  cold  environ-
ment

If  the  front  camera  is  hot,  such  as  after
the vehicle  had  been parked  in the sun,
use  the  air  conditioning  system  to
decrease  the  temperature  around  the
front camera.

If a sunshade was used when the vehi-
cle was parked, depending on its type,
the sunlight reflected from the surface
of the sunshade may cause the tem-
perature of the front camera to become
excessively high.

If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle  is  parked  in  an  extremely  cold
environment,  use  the  air  conditioning
system  to  increase  the  temperature
around the front camera.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)



: If equipped

The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera
to detect vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. When
the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision
with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, a warning operates to urge
the  driver  to  take  evasive  action  and  the  potential  brake  pres-
sure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the sys-
tem  determines  that  the  possibility  of  a  frontal  collision  with  a
vehicle or pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are automati-
cally  applied  to  help  avoid  the  collision  or  help  reduce  the
impact of the collision.

The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning
timing can be changed. (

Pre-collision warning

When  the  system  determines

collision  is  high,  a  buzzer  will
sound and a warning message
will  be  displayed  on  the  multi-
information  display  to  urge  the
driver to take evasive action.

◆

Pre-collision brake assist

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is high, the system applies greater braking force in relation to
how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

◆

Pre-collision braking

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is high, the system warns the driver. If the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes
are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the
collision speed.

WARNING

■

Limitations of the pre-collision system

●

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations
under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen
collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.

●

Although this system is designed to help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change according to vari-
ous conditions, therefore the system may not always be able to achieve
the same level of performance.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-

sibility of a collision:

P. 260

• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly:



P. 263

●

Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard objects
imitating detectable objects, etc.), the system may not operate properly,
possibly leading to an accident.

■

Pre-collision braking

●

When the pre-collision braking function is operating, a large amount of
braking force will be applied.

●

If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking func-
tion, the pre-collision braking function operation will be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.

●

The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are
performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine
that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-colli-
sion braking function from operating.

●

In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking evasive action.

●

If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of
the pre-collision braking function.

that  the  vehicle  might  depart
from  its  lane,  a  warning  is  dis-
played  on  the  multi-information
display and the warning buzzer
sounds to alert the driver.

When  the  warning  buzzer

WARNING

■

Before using LDA system

Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. The LDA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by paying careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct the path of the
vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such as
from driving for a long period of time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
