Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-

the windshield in stages. For exam-
ple, if auto defogging does not defog
inside the windshield at step 1
Operating the air conditioning, it tries
to defog again at step 2 Outside air
position.
Step 1 : Operating the air condition- ing

Features of your vehicle
Power outlet
The power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 20
amps with the engine running. Use the power outlet only when the
engine is running and remove the
accessory plug after use. Using the
accessory plug for prolonged peri-
ods of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 20A in electric
capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating level when
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when
plugged into a vehicle’s power out-
let. These devices may cause
excessive audio static and malfunc-
tions in other electronic systems or
devices used in your vehicle.
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made, the
plug may overheat and the fuse
may open. Plug in battery equipped electronic
devices with reverse current pro-
tection. The current from the bat-
tery may flow into the vehicle’s
electri cal/electronic system and
cause system malfunction.
Refrain from using the heater or A/C if you need to use the multipur-
pose socket. If the heater or A/C
has to be used simultaneously,
have it to the lowest setting.
Some add-on electrical equipment will induce electromagnetic inter-
ference. This will lead to subse-
quent malfunction or hinder good
reception of the Audio/Video and
electrical system.
Always make sure that electric add-ons are fully plugged into the
multipurpose sockets.
Insecure contacts may lead to
electrical malfunctions.
When using the front power outlet, you can close the center console
cover after pulling out the wire
through the front corner of right
side of the console cover. (Car
charger & Cable is not provided
with your purchase.)

In the event of brake failure
If the service brakes fail to operate
while the vehicle is in motion, you
can make an emergency stop with
the parking brake. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be much greater
than normal.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes or rear brakes. You
may hear this sound come and go or
it may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
Always replace the front or rear
brake pads as pairs.
WARNING- Parking
brake
Avoid applying the parking
brake to stop the vehicle while it
is moving except in an emer-
gency situation. Applying the
parking brake while the vehicle
is moving at normal speeds can
cause a sudden loss of control
of the vehicle. If you must use
the parking brake to stop the
vehicle, use great caution in
applying the brake.
WARNING- Brake wear
Do not ignore high pitched wear
sounds from your brakes. If you
ignore this audible warning, you
will eventually lose braking per-
formance, which could lead to a
serious accident.
CAUTION- Replace brake pads
Do not continue to drive withworn brake pads. Continuing todrive with worn brake pads candamage the braking system andresult in costly brake repairs.
