following occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehi-
cle. (the vehicle inclination detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the inte-
rior intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active” when the vehicle leaves the factory.
When making changes to the settings, please
follow the procedure listed in the section ti- tled “Changing the system settings” on page
3-12.CAUTIONl Do not modify or add parts to the security
alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.NOTEl The alarm system will not be activated if the
doors (including the backdoor) have been
locked using a key or the central door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry system).
l If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using thekeyless entry system, the security alarm sys-
tem may be malfunctioning.

ice Point.
l In the following situations, the security
alarm system could be more likely to be ac-
cidentally activated.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window, door, or the sunroof
open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-

Authorized Service Point.The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode (ap- prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently, and the se-
curity alarm indicator (A) blinks)
The system preparation time extends from the point at which all of the doors (including the backdoor) are locked by the keyless entry
switch to the point at which the system acti- vation mode goes into 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 some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).

System armed mode
(The buzzer stops, and the security alarm in-dicator 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 ac-
tivated to warn people around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at-
tempted 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 activation” on page 3-15.
NOTEl The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stop-
ped.

during the system preparation mode or the system armed mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm
once it has been activated.

corrosion before use.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
CAUTIONl Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
8. After the engine is started, disconnect the

the painted surface of your vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed with water.If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and thoroughly, and get prompt medical attention.NOTEl If the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the anti-lock brake warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to “Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on
page 6-37.Engine overheating
E00800603875
If the water temperature gauge indication re-
mains in the overheating zone for a long
time, the engine may be overheating. If this occurs, take the following corrective meas-
ures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.

[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the
engine compartment. Restart the engine.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.

CAUTION•Maintain a distance of approx. 50 cm
or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
50 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be- come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The wiper arm assembly is taped.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a rear de-
flector or roof rails, consult a car wash operator before using the car wash.
• If your vehicle has a rain sensor, place the
wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTEl To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.Waxing
E00901000560
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used. Such waxes remove rust and stains effectively from the paintwork but
they are harmful to the lustre on the painted
surface and the plated surface.
Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces such as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.
l Do not use petrol or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other contamination to the vehi-
cle surface.
l Do not apply wax on the areas having black
mat coating as it can cause uneven discolou-
ration, patches, blurs, etc. If stained with wax, immediately wipe off with a piece of
soft cloth and warm water.
l On vehicles with a sunroof, be careful when
waxing the area around the sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip
(black rubber). If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof
seal with the sunroof.Polishing
E00901100024
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Matt-finish parts and plastic bumpers
must not be polished, polishing these parts will stain them or damage their finish.
