nThe seat heaters can be used when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
CAUTION
nBurns
lUse caution when seating the following persons in a seat with the seat
heater on to avoid the possibility of burns:
Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the disabled
Persons with sensitive skin
Persons who are fatigued
Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping
drugs, cold remedies, etc.)
lDo not cover the seat with anything when using the seat heater.
Using the seat heater with a blanket or cushion increases the temperature
of the seat and may lead to overheating.

Maintenance and care
CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury.
nWhen working on the engine compartment
lKeep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine
drive belt.
lBe careful not to touch the engine, inverter, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc.
right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
lDo not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the
engine compartment.
lDo not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the bat−
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
lBe extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
nWhen working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the ignition is off. With the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in IGNI−
TION ON mode, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the
air conditioning is on and/or if the coolant temperature is high.
(P. 383)
nWhen working on or under the vehicle
lDo not get under the vehicle with just the jack supporting it.
Always use automotive jack stands or other solid supports.
lUse eye protection to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from
getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
nIf you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air. Also a backfire could cause a fire in the engine compart−
ment.

nEngine oil consumption
lThe amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
lMore oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
lA new engine consumes more oil.
lWhen judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil
may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu−
rately.
nResetting the engine oil maintenance data
The oil change system should be reset. Perform the following procedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter A when the engine is running.
( P. 161)
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.
While pressing the trip meter reset button, set the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode (but do not start the engine
because otherwise the reset mode will be cancelled). Continue to
press and hold the button until the multi−information display indi−
cates that the reset is complete.

Maintenance and care
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
nThe tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol
lowing circumstances:
lWhen rotating the tires on vehicles differing with front and rear
tire inflation pressures.
lWhen changing the tire inflation pressure by changing traveling
speed or load weight, etc.
lWhen changing the tire size.
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current
tire inflation pressure is set as the pressure benchmark.
n
How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in safe place and turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to OFF mode.
While the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire infla−
tion pressure level. (
P. 502)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire
inflation pressure level. The ti
re pressure warning system will
operate based on this pressure level.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
