Automatic climate control system
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Press the defroster button ( ).
3. While pressing the air conditioning button (A/C), press the air intake
control button at least 5 times with-
in 3 seconds.
The recirculation indicator blinks 3
times with 0.5 second of interval. It
indicates that the defogging logic is
canceled or returned to the pro-
grammed status.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, it resets to the defog
logic status.
Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on. This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture on the inside of the
windshield and operates.
The auto defogging system address-
es excess moisture on the inside of
the windshield in stages. For exam-
ple if auto defogging does not defog
inside the windshield at step 1
Outside air position, it tries to defog
again at step 2 Operating the air con-
ditioning.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air condition- ing
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield

times without a signal.Automatic ventilation(if equipped)
When the ignition is ON or when the
engine is running and the outside
temperature is below 59°F (15°C),
the automatic ventilation feature will
activate if the recirculated air intake
position is selected for more than 5
minutes while A/C is off and floor
mode is selected. In this condition
the air intake position will automati-
cally switch to the outside (fresh) air
intake position.
To cancel or reset the Automatic
Ventilation
When the air conditioning system is
on, select Face Level mode and
keep pressing the air intake control
button more than 3 seconds.

Features of your vehicle
* The actual sunvisor lamp in the vehi-cle may differ from the illustration.Power outlet (if equipped)
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 10
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 10A 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.
CAUTION- Vanity mirror
lamp
If you use the vanity mirror lamp,turn off the lamp before return-ing the sunvisor to its originalposition, otherwise it couldresult in battery discharge andpossible sunvisor damage.

Driving your vehicle
In the event of brake failure
If 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.

again. When Active ECO is activated:
The acceleration may slightly be
reduced even though you depress
the accelerator fully.
The air conditioner performance may be limited
The shift pattern of the automatic transaxle may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the Active Eco
System is activated to improve fuel
efficiency. Limitation of Active ECO opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.
When using manual mode: The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
