Interior Features
●Battery saver
If any door is left open with the overhead light switch in the DOOR posi\
tion,
or the trunk lid is left open, the overhead light or trunk light turns off after
about 30 minutes to prevent battery depletion.
● To prevent battery depletion, if the interior lights remain turned on (the inte-
rior light switch is in the ON position or an interior light is turned on by press-
ing the lens of the interior light), they turn off automatically under the
following conditions:
• No operations are done for about 30 minutes after the ignition is switched
off.
• When the LOCK button on the key is pressed after the ignition is switched off (interior lights turn off a few seconds).
In addition, if the following operations are performed after turning the inte-
rior lights off, they will turn on again.
• The ignition is switched to a position other than OFF.
• A door is opened.
• A door is unlocked.
● The operation of the illuminated entry system can be changed.

WARNING
■ Always check that the hood is closed and securely locked
A hood that is not closed and securely locked is dangerous as it could fly
open while the vehicle is moving and block the driver’s vision which could
result in a serious accident.

When closing the hood, do not push it excessively such as by applying your
weight. Otherwise, the hood could be deformed.
