CAUTION
!●
When indication lamp bl
inks, the active stability
control function is operating, which means that the road is slippery or that
your vehicle’s wheels are
spinning excessively. If this happens, drive slower with less accelerator input.
●
If a fault occurs in th
e device, the ABS warning
lamp or and indication lamps illuminate as warning. Park your vehicl
e in a safe place and stop
the engine. Then, start the engine again and check whether the ABS warning la
mp or and indica-
tion lamps go out. If the ABS warning lamp or and indication lamps remains lit even af
ter the engine has been
started, we recommend you to have your vehicle checked.

NOTE●
Immediately after reconnecti
on of the battery cable, the
indication lamp will illuminate and the active stability
control function will stop operating. If the vehicle is driven and the indication la
mp goes off, the active sta-
bility control function will again start operating. If the indication lamp illuminates again or illuminates even though the battery has not been disconnected, aninsufficient battery voltage or other problems may be the reason. We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Active traction control function
E00614100041
The active traction control function maintains traction on slip-pery road surfaces by automatical
ly controlling the engine out-
put and applying the brakes
so the driving wheels are
prevented from spinning.The active traction control f
unction automatically turns ON
when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
CAUTION
!●
If the temperature in the
braking system increases
excessively due to conti
nuous brake control on a
slippery road surface,
a warning buzzer will sound
intermittently to warn the
driver. If driving contin-
ues in spite of the buzzer an
d the temperature in the
braking system increases
further, the indication
lamp will illuminate, th
e warning buzzer will sound
continuously for approx
imately 3 seconds, and
active traction control function operation will besuspended to protect the
braking system. (Normal
operation of the ve
hicle will not be
affected.) If the
vehicle is stopped and the indication lamp goes off, the active traction control function will start operating again.

For information on how to chan
ge the detection areas, please
refer to “Changing the detection areas” on page 4-83.
NOTE●
The buzzer may sound lower
than the normal warning
sound when the corner sensor
system is receiving ultra-
sonic noise from other sources, but this is not a malfunc- tion. The buzzer will stop sounding and the system willreturn to normal operation after the noise is no longer received.
CAUTION
!●
The reversing sensor system may not operate prop- erly under the following conditions:• The sensors or surroundings are covered with ice,snow, or mud.• The sensors are frozen.• The system receives ultrasonic noise from othersources (the horns of ot
her vehicles, motorcycle
engines, brakes, radios,
pouring rain, splashing
water, tyre chains, etc.).• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a lo
ng period of time under a
blazing sun or in cold weather).• The vehicle tilts significantly.• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with abumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped byhand, or stickers or accessories have been attached.
●
The reversing sensor system may not properly detect the following:• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or ropes.• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.• Objects that are shaped
with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth su
rface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.

To operate
E00615700086
To operate the system, move th
e gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position (with M/T) or the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T) while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. To stop th
e operation, push the “SONAR”
switch.
The “SONAR OFF” indication lamp will illuminate to indicate that the system has stopped operating. It will flash in case there is a malfunction in the system. For details, refer to “SONAR OFF indication lamp” on page 4-84. To have the system operating
again, push the “SONAR” switch
again. When the system is op
erating again, the buzzer sounds
once and the “SONAR OFF”
indication lamp turns off.

The warning buzzer sounds when the system detects an obsta- cle during operation.NOTE●
After pushing the “SONAR” switch, reversing sensor sys- tem operation differs accordi
ng to the detection area set-
ting. • Setting when towing bar is not equipped When the gearshift lever is
moved to the “R” (Reverse)
position (with M/T) or the selector lever is moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T), the reversing sen- sor system will operate even
if corner sensor operation
was stopped by pushing the “SONAR” switch. • Setting when towing bar is equipped When reversing sensor system operation was stopped bypushing the “SONAR” switch, the reversing sensor sys- tem will not operate until the engine has been stopped even if the gearshift lever is moved to the “R” (Reverse)position (with M/T) or the selector lever is moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T). To resume reversing sensor system operation, push the“SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the gearshift lever is moved to the “R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or the selector lever to the“R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T).

Changing the detection areas
E00615800032
The detection areas can be changed as follows: Vehicles with a towing bar While the operation of the system
is stopped at the “SONAR”
switch, push the “SONAR” switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer
sounds twice to indicate that
the detection area has been changed. Vehicles without a towbar While the operation of the system
is stopped at the “SONAR”
switch, push the “SONAR” switch approximately 3 seconds ormore, and release it. The buzzer
sounds once to indicate that
the detection area has been changed.NOTE●
The detection area will not
change if you keep the
“SONAR” switch pushed fo
r 10 seconds or more.
CAUTION
!●
The distances given are to be used for reference only, as errors may be caused by various factors, such astemperature, humidity, or the shape of the obstacles.

“SONAR OFF” indication lamp
E00615900075
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing sensor system, the “SONAR OFF” indication lamp will flash and the warning buzzer will sound for
approximately 5 seconds. Even after the
buzzer has stopped sounding, the
indication lamp will continue
flashing until the system reverts
to the normal state. We recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspection.
Rear-view camera
*
E00618400013
The rear-view camera is a system
that shows the view behind
the vehicle on a screen in the centre panel.Range of view of rear-view cameraThe range of view of the rear-v
iew camera is limited to the area
shown in the illustrations. Becau
se the camera is built in the
overhanging area of the vehicle (spare wheel garnish), it cannot show the bottom of the spare wheel garnish and the rightbehind the vehicle (rear bumper and backdoor). When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safety around the vehicle. When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safetyaround the vehicle.
CAUTION
!●
The rear-view camera is
an assistance system that
enables the driver to check
for obstacles behind the
vehicle. Its range of view is limited, so you shouldnot overly depend on it. Plea
se drive just as carefully
as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with a rear-view camera.
●
Be sure to visually confirm safety around the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not depend entirely on the rear-view camera.

Air conditioning switch
E00703500886
Push the switch to turn the air conditioning on, indication lamp (A) will come on. Push the switch again to switch it off.
NOTE●
If a problem is detected in
the air conditioning compres-
sor, the air conditioning operation indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the vehicle in a sa
fe place, turn off the engine,
then restart the engine. If the air conditioning operationindication lamp does not blink, there is no problem. If it does brink, we recommend you to have it checked.
●
Sometimes, for example afte
r using a high-pressure car
wash, the condenser can get we
t, and the operation indica-
tion lamp (A) blinks temporarily. In this case there is nothing wrong. Stop the vehicl
e in a safe place, turn off
the engine, then restart the
engine. Once the water evapo-
rates, the blinking will stop.
CAUTION
!●
When using the air condit
ioning, the idling speed
may slightly increase as
the air conditioning com-
pressor is switched on/off
automatically. While the
vehicle with an A/T is st
ationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent th
e vehicle from creeping.
