indicator light (if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) LOCK
indicator light illuminates and then turns
off.
When selecting LOCK mode while the
engine is running, the LOCK indicator
light illuminates. (See “Intelligent 4x4”
(P.5-100).)
CAUTION
Do not drive on dry hard surface
roads in the LOCK mode.
Exterior light indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head-
light switch is turned to the AUTO (if so
equipped),
orposition and the
front parking lights, rear combination
lights, license plate lights or headlights
are on. The indicator turns off when these
lights are turned off.
Front fog light indicator light
(if so equipped)
The front fog light indicator light illumi-
nates when the front fog lights are on.
(See “Fog light switch” (P.2-48).)
High beam assist indicator
light (if so equipped)
The indicator light illuminates when the
headlights come on while the headlight
switch is in the AUTO position with the
high beam selected. This indicates that
the high beam assist system is opera-
tional. (See “High beam assist” (P.2-45).)
High beam indicator light
This light illuminates when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the
low beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes
on steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control and/or Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
illuminate steady if the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, or if the vehicle runs out
of fuel. Check to make sure the fuel-filler
cap is installed and closed tightly, and
that the vehicle has at least 3 US gallons
(11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential
emission control system malfunction ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-

Tire:
This indicator appears when the custo-
mer set distance comes for replacing
tires. You can set or reset the distance
for replacing tires.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not
a substitute for regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-37).
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road
conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the
tire replacement indicator for a cer-
tain driving distance does not mean
your tires will last that long. Use the
tire replacement indicator as a guide
only and always perform regular tire
checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to a collision, which
could result in serious personal in-
jury or death.Other:
This indicator appears when the custo-
mer set distance comes for checking or

High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) and
above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle appears in front of your vehicle
when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low
beam automatically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving operation.
The driver should remain alert at
all times, ensure safe driving
practices and switch the high
beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
. The high beam or low beam may
not switch automatically under
the following conditions. Switch
the high beam and low beam
manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, wind, etc.).
— When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity of the vehicle.
— When the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle are turned off,
when the color of the light is
affected due to foreign mate-
rials on the lights, or when the
light beam is out of position.
— When there is a sudden, con- tinuous change in brightness.
— When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a
road that has level differ-
ences.
— When driving on a road with many curves.
— When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense
light towards the front of the
vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense light.
— When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
— When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured
tire, being towed, etc. .
The timing of switching the low
beam and high beam may
change under the following situa-
tions.
— The brightness of the head-
lights of the oncoming vehicle
or leading vehicle.
— The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and
the leading vehicle.
— When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is illuminated.
— When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-
wheeled vehicle.
— Road conditions (incline, curve, the road surface, etc.).
— The number of passengers and the amount of cargo.
