AHB (Automatic High
Beam)*
The Automatic High Beam
uses an in-vehicle front cam-
era to assess the brightness of
streetlights, the lights of vehi-
cles ahead etc., and automati-
cally turns the high beams on
or off as necessary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Automatic
High Beam

Driving
■The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
With low speed windshield wiper opera-
tion selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermittent wiper operation when the vehicle is sta-
tionary. (However, when the sensor sen- sitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode will not switch.)
■Raindrop sensor
●The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops.* An optical sen- sor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight from the rising
or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc. are present on the windshield.
●If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power
switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
●If the wiper sensitivity is adjusted to higher, the wiper may operate once to
indicate the change of sensitivity.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, the automatic opera-tion may not occur. In this case, oper-
ate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.*: It may be located on the opposite side
depending on the target region.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■Washer nozzle heaters (if equipped)
The washer nozzle heaters operate to
prevent frozen nozzle when the outside temperature is 5°C (41°F) or less and the power switch is in ON.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject to vibra-
tion in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else does not become caught in the windshield wip-
ers.
■Caution regarding the use of
washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
■When the washer nozzle heaters
are operating (if equipped)
Do not touch the area around the washer nozzle, as they can become
very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually
as the washer fluid pump may over- heat.

■Fuel types
 P.627
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on
unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank
cap
Perform the following steps to
open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
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 dis-
charge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static elec-tricity before refueling because
sparks resulting from static electric- ity 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.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is stati-
cally charged. This may cause static electricity to build up, result-ing in a possible ignition hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into
the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling. Doing so may damage the vehicle,
such as causing the emission control system to operate abnormally or dam-aging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.
