Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime run-
ning lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started.
(However, the daytime running light system will be canceled when
the headlight switch is operated manually or the automatic headlight
system turns on the tail lights.) Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
■ Automatic High Beam (if equipped)
P. 288
The sensor may not function properly if
anything that blocks the sensor is affixed
to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

● Vehicles with smart entry & start system:
If the wiper switch is turned to the position while the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will operate
once to show that AUTO mode is activated.
If the wiper sensitivity is adjusted to higher, the wiper may operate once to
indicate the change of sensitivity.
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or
-40°C (-40°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case,
operate the wipers in any mode other than AUTO.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked and if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in AUTO mode. Take care that your fin-
gers or anything else do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not use the washer when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause
the washer fluid pump to overheat.
■ When there is no windshield washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.

• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front sensor
• The vehicle is wobbling.
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces
• When a preceding vehicle is a poor reflector of laser
● In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force may
not be obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as
when the brake parts are extremel y cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are exces-
sively worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery
surface
• If your vehicle is skidding
• When the front part of the vehicle
is raised or lowered
• When the sensor is misaligned
due to a strong impact being
applied to the sensor, etc.

● In the following situations, it may take longer than normal for the Stop &
Start system to activate.
• For a while after the battery terminals have been disconnected and
reconnected.
• For a while after the battery replacement.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
■ Automatic engine start function
In the following situations, the engine may start even without the clutch pedal
being depressed.
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• Vehicles with an automatic air c onditioning system: The air conditioning
system is being used or turned on.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: The windshield

Vehicles without smart entry & start system
When an excessively loud sound is bei ng projected by the audio system,
the audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power
for the Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.

If this occurs, turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off then to
ACCESSORY mode or IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
■ Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
■ Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. ( P. 198, 202)
Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the
Stop & Start system will not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine switch
off, wait 30 seconds or more, and then start the engine.
■ When to use the Stop & Start system
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.
■ Stop & Start system warning buzzer
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and the following action
is performed, a buzzer will sound and the Stop & Start indicator will flash.
This indicates that the engine is only stopped by the Stop & Start system, not
that the engine has been turned off completely.
The shift lever is shifted to a position other than “N” with the clutch pedal
released.

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in resp onse to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
■ ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
■ Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
■ VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Control +)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering performance.
■ TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintains drive power and prevents the front wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel.
■ PCS (Pre-Collision System) (if equipped)
P. 268
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an
incline or slippery slope.
