Front passenger’s airbag indi-cator
E00410201528
The front passenger’s airbag indicator is lo-
cated in the instrument panel.
The both indicator normally comes on when
the operation mode of the power switch is put
in ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the OFF indicator will stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational. When the front pas-
senger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is turned
ON, the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON indicator comes on for approximately 1 mi- nute to show that the front passenger’s airbagis operational.
WARNINGl Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick- er. You would not be able to verify thestatus of the passenger airbag system.To turn an airbag off
E00412301259WARNINGl To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:

E00607003137
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.CAUTIONl Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the other is available to stop the vehicle. If you
should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the brake system repaired.

E00627001793
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.

If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
CAUTIONl The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTEl Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal issoft, the pedal moves in small motions inconjunction with the sound of the ABS oper- ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor- mally.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or only Active Stability Control warn- ing lamp illuminate, the brake assist system
in not functioning.
