If more moisture is in the vehicle,
higher steps operate as follow. For
example if auto defogging does not
defog inside the windshield at step 1
Outside air position, it tries to defog
again at step 2 Blowing air toward
the windshield.
Step 1 : Outside air position

vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 10
amps with the engine running.
Use the power outlet only when theengine is running and remove the
accessory plug after use. Using the
accessory plug for prolonged peri-
ods of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 10A in electric
capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating level when
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when
plugged into a vehicle’s power out-
let. These devices may cause
excessive audio static and malfunc-
tions in other electronic systems or
devices used in your vehicle.AC inverter (if equipped) WARNING - Electric shock
Do not put a finger or a foreign
element (pen, etc.) into a power
outlet and do not touch with a

functions. Some
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology devices may
not support some functions.
1)
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
Handsfree phone calls
2) Operations during a call (Private, Switch, Out Vol. con-
trols)
3) Download call history saved to the
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology device
4) Download contacts saved to the
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
device
5) Automatic contacts/call history download when
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology is connect-
ed
6) Automatic
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology device connection
when the vehicle is started
7)
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
audio streaming playback Before connecting the audio sys-
tem to your device, make sure your
device supports
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology.
Even if your device supports
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology, a
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
connection cannot be established
if the device’s
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology function is switched
off. Search and connect with the
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
function enabled.
Pair or connect
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology devices to the
audio system with the vehicle at a
standstill.
If a
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology connection is lost due
to abnormal conditions while a
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
device is connected (communica-
tion range exceeded, device power
OFF, communication errors, etc.),
the disconnected
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology device is
searched for and automatically
reconnected. If you want to disable the
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
device auto-connect function, turn
the
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology function OFF on your
device. Consult the user manuals
for individual devices to see
whether
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology is supported.
Handsfree call quality and volume may vary depending on the type of
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
device.
Some
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology devices are subject to
intermittent
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology connection failures. In
this case, use the following
method.
1) Turn the

In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate while
the vehicle is in motion, you can
make an emergency stop with the
parking brake. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be much greater
than normal.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes or rear brakes. You
may hear this sound come and go or
it may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
Always replace the front or rear
brake pads as pairs.
WARNING- Parking
brake
Applying the parking brake
while the vehicle is moving at
normal speeds can cause a
sudden loss of control of the
vehicle. If you must use the
parking brake to stop the vehi-
cle, use great caution in apply-
ing the brake.
WARNING- Brake wear
Avoid applying the parking
brake to stop the vehicle while it
is moving except in an emer-
gency situation. If you ignore
this audible warning, you will
eventually lose braking per-
formance, which could lead to a
serious accident.
CAUTION- Replace brake pads
Do not continue to drive withworn brake pads. Continuing todrive with worn brake pads candamage the braking system andresult in costly brake repairs.

Check the brake warning light by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). This light will be
illuminated when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the
START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released
while the engine is running, there
may be a malfunction in the brake
system. Immediate attention is nec-
essary. If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only con-
tinue to drive the vehicle until you
can reach a safe location or repair
shop.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds
in the following circumstances:
When driving on rough, gravel or
snow-covered roads
When driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has differ-
ent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increase
the stopping distance for your vehi-
cle.

Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel effi-
ciency by controlling the engine and
transaxle. But fuel-efficiency can be
affected by the driver's driving habits
and road conditions.
When the Active ECO button is
pressed the ECO indicator (green)
will illuminate to show that the
Active ECO is operating.
When the Active ECO is activated, it does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn
off the system, press the active
ECO button again. If Active ECO is turned off, it will
return to the normal mode.
When Active ECO is activated:
The engine noise may get louder.
The vehicle speed may slightly bereduced.
The air conditioner performance may be affected.
Limitation of Active ECO oper-
ation:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature islow:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.
When using sports mode: The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited,as it has
determined that the driver has
accelerated judging that the driver
wants to speed up.
