WARNING
• Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. You could be
burned or seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the engine and do
not smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near the vehicle when refuelling.
• Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap a
half of
aturn, and wait for any “hissing” sound
to stop to prevent fuel from spraying out and
possibly causing personal injury. Then remove
the cap.
• Use only an original equipment type fuel filler
cap as
areplacement. It has abuilt-in safety
valve needed for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in aserious malfunc-
tion and possible injury. OPENING FUEL FILLER LID

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

WARNING
• Do not adjust the heater and air conditioner
controls or audio controls while driving so that full attention may be given to vehicle opera-
tion.
• If you noticed any foreign objects entering the
system hardware, spilled liquid on the sys-
tem, or noticed smoke or fumes coming out
from the system, or any other unusual opera-
tion is observed, stop using the system imme-
diately and contact the nearest approved
dealer or qualified workshop. Ignoring such
conditions may lead to an accident, fire or electric shock.
• Do not disassemble or modify this system. If
you do, it may lead to an accident, fire, or
electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not use the system when the engine is not
running for extended periods of time to prevent
battery discharge.

m:
This
symbol indicates that the vents are
closed. Moving the control to this
direction will close the vents.
m :
This
symbol indicates that the vents are
open. Moving the control to this direc-
tion will open the vents.
Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by moving
the centre knob (up/down, left/right) until the de-
sired position is achieved. WARNING
• The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
• Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-
ther. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and
inadvertently become involved in
aserious ac-
cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in aclosed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up.
• Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning
controls while driving so that full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate even if
the engine is turned off and the ignition switch is
placed in the ONposition.
NOTE
• Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (where fit-
ted) is running, and is safely discharged un-
derneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal. •
Odours from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odour
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odours inside
the vehicle.

OPERATING TIPS (models with
automatic air conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and outside
air temperature are low, the air flow from the foot
outlets may not operate. However, this is not amal-
function. After the coolant temperature warms up,
the air flow from the foot outlets will operate nor-
mally. The sensors
jAa ndjB, located on the instrument
panel, help maintain aconstant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around the sensors. SAA2324Z

WARNING
• Use
aphone after stopping your vehicle in a
safe location. If you have to use aphone while
driving, exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to vehicle op-
eration.
• If you are unable to devote full attention to
vehicle operation while talking on the phone,
pull off the road to
asafe location and stop
your vehicle.
CAUTION
To avoid discharging the vehicle battery, use a
phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have acompat-
ible Bluetooth® enabled mobile phone, you can set
up the wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the in-vehicle phone module. With Blue-
tooth® wireless technology, you can make or re-
ceive ahands-free telephone call with your mobile
phone in the vehicle.
Once your mobile phone is connected to the in-ve-
hicle phone module, no other phone connecting pro-
cedure is required. Your phone is automatically re-
connected with the in-vehicle phone module when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with
the connected mobile phone turned on and carried
in the vehicle. You can register up to
5different Bluetooth® mo-
bile phones to the in-vehicle phone module. How-
ever, you can talk on only one mobile phone at a
time.
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
• Set up the wireless connection between
amo-
bile phone and the in-vehicle phone module be-
fore using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System.
• Some Bluetooth® enabled mobile phones may
not be recognised by the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule.
• You will not be able to use
ahands-free phone
under the following conditions:
–Y our vehicle is outside of the mobile service
area.
–Y our vehicle is in an area where it is difficult
to receive mobile signal; such as in atunnel,
in an underground parking garage, near atall
building or in amountainous area.
–Y our mobile phone is locked to prevent it
from being dialled.
• When the radio wave condition is not ideal or
ambient sound is too loud, it may be difficult to
hear the other person’s voice during
acall.
• Immediately after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, it may be impossible to receive
ac
all for ashort period of time. •
Do not place the mobile phone in an area sur-
rounded by metal or far away from the in-vehicle
phone module to prevent tone quality degrada-
tion and wireless connection disruption.
• While
amobile phone is connected through the
Bluetooth® wireless connection, the battery
power of the mobile phone may discharge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System cannot charge mobile phones.
• Some mobile phones or other devices may cause
interference or
abuzzing noise to come from the
audio system speakers. Storing the device in a
different location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.
• Refer to the mobile phone owner’s manual re-
garding the telephone charges, mobile phone
antenna and body, etc.
• The signal strength display on the monitor will
not coincide with the signal strength display of
some mobile phones.
