Caution for installing the childrestraint on vehicle with frontpassenger’s airbag
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with a front passenger’s airbag.
WARNINGl Extreme Hazard!
NEVER use a rearward facing child re- straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVEAIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI- OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 5-32)WARNINGl A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child. A rearward facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if it must be used in the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
Failure to do so could kill or cause serious
injuries to the child.WARNINGl A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat when the driver’s visibilityis obstructed.Infants and small children
E00406602065
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children whose height when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be used.

lThe child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and height and properly fit in the vehicle.
For a higher degree of safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.NOTEl Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt
buckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seatcushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.WARNINGl After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se- cured with the seat belt or remove it fromthe vehicle in order to prevent it from be- ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two
ways: • Using the lower anchorage in the front
passenger seat or the rear seat if the
child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 5-26).
• Using the seat belt (See page 5-28).
Older children
E00406700307
Children who have outgrown the child re-
straint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug
and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo-
men during an accident and cause injury.

Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
WARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them usingthe hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac- cident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and
for maximum protection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve- hicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob- structed, but also the luggage may be projec-ted into the passenger compartment underhard braking.
Parking brake
E00600501722
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully apply the parking brake suf-
ficiently to hold the vehicle.
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal, then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the ve-
hicle moving could make the rear wheels lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta-
ble. It could also make the parking brake malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.

Parking with the engine run-ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.
WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the se-
lector lever or the accumulation of toxic
exhaust fumes on the passenger compart- ment.
Where you park
WARNINGl Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always carry the key and lock all doors and
the tailgate when leaving the vehicle unatten-
ded.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit
area.
CAUTIONl When you leave the vehicle, be sure that you
have stopped the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
The engine may start suddenly by a remain-
ing amount decline of the drive battery.Steering wheel height and
reach adjustment E00600701652

NOTElWhen the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal issoft, the pedal moves in small motions inconjunction with the sound of the ABS oper- ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor- mally.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or the Active Stability Control warning lamp illuminate, the brake assist system is
not functioning.Emergency stop signal
system E00626001060
This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert
vehicles approaching from behind during sudden braking. When the emergency stop
signal system operates, the hazard warning indication lamp in the instrument cluster
blinks rapidly at the same time.
CAUTIONl If the ABS warning or ASC warning is dis-
played, the emergency stop signal system may not operate. Refer to “ABS warning lamp/display” on page 7-29.
Refer to “ASC warning display” on page
7-34.NOTEl [Activating condition for the emergency stop
signal system]
It activates when all of the following condi-
tions are met.
• The vehicle speed is approximately
55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.
• The brake pedal has been depressed, and
the system judges that it was sudden brak- ing from the vehicle deceleration and theoperating condition of the anti-lock brake
system (ABS).
[Deactivating condition for the emergency
stop signal system]
It deactivates when one of the following conditions is met.
• The brake pedal is released.
• The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
• The system judges that it was not sudden
braking from the vehicle deceleration and
the operating condition of the anti-lock
brake system (ABS).Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) E00607102489
Environmental conditions can have an effect
on braking. During sudden braking when there is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the road
surface, a skid may occur. In this situation, steering control and braking effectiveness is
reduced and the stopping distance is in-
creased. The vehicle may also go into an un- controlled spin.
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-
ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability and
providing optimum braking force.
Operating hints
l Always maintain the same distance from
the vehicle in front of you as you would for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences in surface height.

clearance.
• When there is a different object near the
vehicle.
• When driving on a road with many and
successive curves, including when pass-
ing their entrances and outlets.
• When accelerating and decelerating
quickly.
• When the system recognizes driver’s
steering, accelerating, braking or gear
shifting actions as evasive actions to
avoid collision.
• When you are driving on a road with
steep and alternating up and down slopes.CAUTION• When a road surface is surging, and there
is unevenness.
• When being driven in a tunnel.
• When your vehicle changed lanes, and
your vehicle approached immediately be- hind the vehicle in front.

snow, sand storms, etc.)*
• When the cover part in front of the sensor
and the sensor become dirty or have snow
and ice adhering to it*.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle*.
*: When judging the state that detection per- formance deterioration and the FCM can’t operate temporarily by these situations auto-
matically, “FCM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE” message is indicated, and a “FCM OFF” indicator lights up.
Additionally, it may be indicated in the fol- lowing situations.
• When the brake is over heating.
• When you are driving in light traffic with
few vehicles and obstacles in front.
