The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer
sounds
intermittently, and the security
alarm indicator (A) blinks) The system preparation time extends from the
point at
which
all of the doors (including the back-
door) are locked by the keyless entry switch to the
point at which the system activation mode goes in-
to effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open
a door without using the keyless entry system and
without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops, and the security alarm indicator
continues to blink slowly)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the
system armed mode starts. If an unlawful opening
of any of the doors (including the backdoor) or the
bonnet is detected during the system armed mode,
the alarm will be activated to warn people around
the vehicle of an abnormal condition. Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or
a
vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds
for approximately 30 seconds. Refer to “Alarm ac-
tivation” on page 1-14.
NOTE
l The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation during
the system preparation mode or the system armed
mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm once it
has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 1-13,
“Cancelling the alarm” on page 1-14.
NOTE l When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven by some-
one who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys-
tem or set the security alarm system to the “in-
active” mode.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the ve-
hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm
would be a nuisance to people nearby. Changing the security alarm settings

confirmation, and the security alarm indica-
tor (B) on the instrument panel blinks.
NOTE
l The system preparation mode is not activated
when
all of
the doors (including the back-
door) have been locked using a method other
than the keyless entry system (namely a key
or the central door lock switch).
l If the bonnet is open, the security alarm indi-
cator illuminates, and the system does not en-
ter the system armed mode. When the bonnet
is closed, the system enters the system prepa-
ration mode, and after approximately 20 sec-
onds the system enters the system armed
mode.
4. The buzzer stops after approximately 20 sec- onds, and when the blinking of the security
alarm indicator starts to slow down, the sys-
tem armed mode goes into effect. The securi-
ty alarm indicator continues to blink during
the system armed mode. NOTE
l The security
alarm
system can be activated
when people are riding inside the vehicle or
when the windows are open. To prevent acci-
dental activation of the alarm, do not set the
system to the system armed mode while peo-
ple are riding in the vehicle.
l With the system in the system armed mode,
if any method other than the keyless entry sys-
tem is used (namely a key or the central door
lock switch) to unlock the vehicle and open
any of the doors (including the backdoor),
the room lamp does not illuminate.

function and the interior intrusion detection func-
tion E00312100204
The vehicle inclination detection function and the
interior intrusion
detection
function can be deacti-
vated when parking in automated car parks, when
leaving pets in the vehicle or when leaving the ve-
hicle with the windows slightly open. 1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Raise and hold the wiper and washer switchto the “MIST” position for approximately 3
seconds. The buzzer will sound once and the
function will be deactivated.
To activate the function again, raise and hold the
wiper and washer switch to the “MIST” position
for approximately 3 seconds. The buzzer will sound twice and the function will

To reduce the glare
Type 1
The lever
(A)
at the bottom of the mirror can be
used to adjust the mirror to reduce the glare from
the headlamps of vehicles behind you during night
driving. 1- Normal
2- Anti-glare
Type 2
When the headlamps of the vehicles behind you are
very bright, the
reflection factor of the rear-view
mirror is automatically changed to reduce the glare. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition, the reflection factor of the mirror is automat-
ically changed.
NOTE
l Do
not hang
items on, or spray glass cleaner
on the sensor (1), as reduced sensitivity
could result. Type 3
When the headlamps of the vehicles behind you are
very bright, the
reflection factor of the rear-view
mirror is automatically changed to reduce the glare. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition, the
green
indicator (1) illuminates and the re-
flection factor of the mirror is automatically
changed.
NOTE
l Do not hang any items on, or spray glass clean-
er on the sensors (2) on the front and back
side, as reduced sensitivity could result.
l If you want to stop automatic mode, press
the switch (3) and the indicator will go off.
To return to automatic mode, press the
switch again or turn the ignition key to the
“ON” position after turning to “LOCK” or
“ACC” position. Starting and driving

Sports mode
E00603901176
Whether the vehicle
is stationary or in motion,
sports mode is selected by gently pushing the selec-
tor lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position into the
manual gate (A). To return to “D” range operation,
gently push the selector lever back into the main
gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rapidly sim-
ply by moving the selector lever backward and for-
ward. In contrast to a manual transmission, the
sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
SHIFT UP
SHIFT DOWN + (SHIFT UP)
Push the
lever
forward once to shift up one gear.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull the lever backward once to shift down one
gear. CAUTION
l
In sports mode,
the driver must execute
upward shifts in accordance with prevail-
ing road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine speed below the red zone.
l By rapidly moving the selector lever back-
ward (SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible
to skip one gear, i.e., 3 rd
to 1 st
, 4 th
to 2 nd
or 5 th
to 3 rd
. Since sudden engine braking
and/or rapid acceleration can cause a loss
of traction, however, downshifts must be
made carefully in accordance with the ve-
hicle’s speed.
NOTE l In
sports mode,
only the 5 forward gears can
be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the “R” (RE-
VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as required.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up-
shift when the selector lever is moved to the
“+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the
engine, the transmission may refuse to per-
form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain
vehicle speeds.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made au-
tomatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, the 1 st
gear is auto-
matically selected. l
When
driving
away
on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the
“+ (SHIFT UP)” position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2 nd
gear which
is better for smooth driving away on a slip-
pery road. Push the selector lever to the
“- (SHIFT DOWN)” side to shift back to the
1 st
gear.
Sports mode indicator E00612300254
In sports mode, the currently selected position is in-
dicated by the
indicator (A) shown on the instru-
ment panel. NOTE
l When

is selected, the “D” indi-
cator goes off. Starting and driving

RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and AF (alternative frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and picks up the
FM stations that are transmitting the same program from the AF list and automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can
continue listening to one program in, for example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the program types, the break-in reception of the traffic announcement to the EON (enhanced other network)
and emergency broadcast, and the limited/unlimited reception of the regional programs. For pleasant driving
