■ Drive information (page 1)
Current fuel consumption
Displays the current rate of fuel
consumption.
Average fuel consumption
Displays the average fuel con-
sumption since the function was
reset.
Driving range
Displays the estimated maximum
distance that can be driven with
the quantity of fuel remaining.
●Pressing and holding will reset the average fuel consump-
tion.
● Use the displayed fuel consumption as a reference.
● This distance is computed based on your average fuel con-
sumption. As a result, the actual distance that can be driven may
differ from that displayed.
● When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the dis-
play may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the push-button ignition switch off. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the push-button ignition switch
off, the display may not be updated.

Daytime running light system
● The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the parking
lights and illuminate brighter than the parking lights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designed for use
at night.)
• The engine is running
• The select lever is shifted out of P (Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission)
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is off or in the “AUTO”
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate even if the parking
brake is set again.
● When the turn signal indicators are flashing, the daytime running light on
the side that the turn signals are flashing will turn off.
● When the hazard warning flashers ar e flashing, both daytime running
lights will turn off.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor
Headlight control sensor is located on the
passenger's side.
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing 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.

Cargo and luggage
Capacity and distributionCargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) - (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 
(1)Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's
placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4)The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug- gage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 × 150) =
650 lbs.)
(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
Take notice of the following information about storage precau-
tions, cargo capacity and load:
● Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
● Be sure all items are secured in place.
● To maintain vehicle balance while driving, position luggage
evenly within the luggage compartment.
● For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

■Refueling in cold weather
To help prevent moisture from forming in the fuel system and the risk of its
freezing, use of an antifreeze additive in the fuel tank is recommended dur-
ing cold weather.
Use only additives that are specifically designed for this purpose. When an
antifreeze additive is used, its effect lasts longer if the tank is refilled when-
ever the fuel level reaches half empty.
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size, and that are the same for the following
items:
•Size
• Circumference
• Speed symbol
• Load index
• Construction
• Manufacturer
• Brand (tread pattern)
• Degrees of wear
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.

Automatic car washes
● Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from the front
of the vehicle. Make sure to and extend the mirrors before driving.
● When having your vehicle washed in an automatic car wash, make sure
beforehand that the car wash is of suitable type to avoid scratches to the
vehicle surface and harm to your vehicle’s paint.
● Vehicles with a rear spoiler: In certain automatic car washes, the rear
spoiler may interfere with machine operation. This may prevent the vehi-
cle from being cleaned properly or result in damage to the rear spoiler.
● Vehicles with CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) parts: Do not use
automatic car washes as they may damage the rear wing or its finish.
■ High pressure car washes
● Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity
of the windows and door frames as water may enter the cabin.
● Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler lid on your vehicle is
closed properly.
■ Alloy wheels
● Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent.
● Wash detergent off with water immediately after use.
● To protect the paint from damage, make sure to observe the following
precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after
driving or parking in hot weather
■ Parts containing resin such as the bumper
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
