Parking
Unlike an automatic transaxle, Auto Gear
Shift does not have a parking position. The
vehicle can be parked with the gearshift
lever at “D” or “R” position. Remember,
even though the transaxle is in gear, you
must set the parking brake firmly
1) Apply the parking brake and the brake
pedal firmly.
2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift
the gearshift lever to the “R” position on
a downhill slope, and to the 1st position
in the drive (D) mode or the “M(1)” posi-
tion in the manual (M) mode on an
uphill slope and confirm the gear posi-tion by checking the gear position indi-
cator.
3) Stop the engine completely.
4) In the case of uphill/downhill slope,
release the parking brake and brake
pedal slowly in order to check the gear
is engaged.
5) After check the vehicle stopped by the
gear engaged, Apply the parking brake
and the brake pedal firmly again.
6) Get out of the vehicle and put chocks
under the wheels.
When you return to your vehicle, you must
remember to remove the wheel chocks.
NOTE:
After the engine is stopped or ignition
switch is OFF, the gear in the transaxle
does not change even if you shift the
gearshift lever in any position. Always
shift the gearshift lever before turn igni-
tion switch OFF.
Check the transaxle gear position by
looking at the gear position indicator,
then turn the ignition switch off to stop
the engine.
WA R N I N G
When stopping, for example, at a
traffic light, be sure to depress the
brake pedal firmly. For your safety,
apply the parking brake, too, when
stopping on a hill.
When racing the engine, make sure
that the gear is in the “N” position
by checking the gear position indi-
cator. If the accelerator is operated
with the gear in any other position,
the vehicle may move resulting in
an unexpected accident.
Do not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
When leaving the vehicle, stop the
engine and park the vehicle with a
gear engaged. Remember, even
though the transaxle is in gear, you
must set the parking brake firmly. If
you need to leave the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brakes firmly, and shift the
gearshift lever to the “N” position
and confirm the neutral position by
checking the gear position indica-
tor. However basically don’t leave
the vehicle with the engine running.
Otherwise, the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and may cause an
accident.
NOTICE
On a slope, never hold the vehicle
at a stop using only the accelerator
pedal or the creeping function. If
you perform this operation for a
certain period of time, a warning
buzzer will sound, and in some
cases the engine will stall. This can
also cause excessive damage to
the clutch.
If the gearshift lever is operated
more than necessary, the system
may not allow operation of the
gearshift lever for a certain period
of time, and the gear may not be
shifted appropriately. Therefore, do
not operate the gearshift lever if not
necessary.

NOTE: Thin poles or obstacles lower than the sen-
sors may become undetectable as the
vehicle moves closer to them even if they
have been detected from longer distances.
The system may calculate the distance to
a road sign or similar obstacle to be shorter
than the actual dist
ance.How to Use the Parking SensorParking sensor switch

(1) Parking sensor switch
(2) Indicator
Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion or press the engine switch to changethe ignition mode to “ON” with the park-
ing sensor switch in the “ON” position.
Push the switch again and it stays in; this
is the OFF position. The indicator in the
switch goes out and the parking sensor
is deactivated.
NOTE:
If you push the parking sensor switch
from the “OFF” to “ON” position when
the ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
inside buzzer sounds.
When the gearshift lever is shifted to the
“R” (Reverse) position with the system
ON, a buzzer will sound once.
Obstacle Indication by Parking Sen-
sorUpon detecting an obstacle, the parking
sensor causes an interior buzzer to sound.
A buzzer located behind the rear seat
sounds when a sensor at the rear
detects an obstacle.

modes.
Fresh Air (f)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will go off and outside air is used.
Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or pol-
luted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the inte-
rior.“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.
NOTE:
If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an
extended period of time, the air in the vehi-
cle can become contaminated. Therefore,
you should occasionally select “FRESH
AIR”.
Air conditioning switch (5)
To turn on the air conditioning system,
push in the “A/C” switch and set the blower
speed selector to a position other than

conditioning system is on. To turn off the
air conditioning system, push the “A/C”
switch again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you
may notice slight changes in engine
speed. These changes are normal, the
system is designed so that the compressor
turns on or off to maintain the desired tem-
perature.
Less operation of the compressor results
in better fuel economy.

Notes on MP3/WMA/AACWhat is MP3?
MP3 (MPEG audio layer3) is an audio
compression format that has become the
standard format among PC users. Its
merit is that the original audio data is
compressed to approximately 1/10 and
high sound quality is maintained. This
means that it is possible to store the data
of approximately 10 music CDs on a sin-
gle CD-R/RW disc, which in turn makes
it possible to play music for a long time
without having to change the disc.
What is WMA?
An abbreviation of “Windows Media
Audio,” WMA is an audio compression
format developed by Microsoft.
WMA files for which the DRM (Digital
Rights Management) function is ON can-
not be played.
Windows Media
TM
and the Windows
®
logo are trademarks or registered trade-
marks of Microsoft Corporation in the
United States and other countries.
What is AAC?
An abbreviation of “Advanced Audio
Coding,” AAC is an audio compression
format used by MPEG2 and MPEG4.Points to remember when making MP3/
WMA/AAC files Common
High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high qual-
ity sounds.
Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended. Selecting VBR may
cause display of incorrect playing time
and jumpiness of playback.
Playback sound quality varies depending
on the encoding environment. For
details, refer to the user manual of the
encoding software and the writing soft-
ware in use.
Recording MP3/WMA/AAC files on a CD
media
It is recommended not to write both CD-
DA files and MP3/WMA/AAC files on a
disc.
If both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA/AAC
files are on the same disc, tracks may
not be played in the correct order or
some tracks may not be played at all.
When storing both MP3 data and WMA
data on the same disc, sort and place
them in different folders. Play time

NOTICE
Never assign the “.mp3”, “.wma”, or

it is not in the MP3/WMA/AAC format
file. Failure to observe this may result
in damage to the speaker due to
noise production.
