Hazard Warning Flasher
▼Hazard Warning Flasher
The hazard warning lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.

The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take
extreme caution when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher
and all the direction indicators will
flash. The hazard warning indicator
lights in the instrument cluster flash
simultaneously.
NOTE
xThe direction indicators do not work
when the hazard warning lights are
on.
xCheck local regulations about the
use of hazard warning lights while
the vehicle is being towed to verify
that it is not in violation of the law.
xIf the brake pedal is depressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the turn and lane
change signals to flash. Refer to
Emergency Stop Signal System on
page 4-78.
xWhile the emergency stop signal
system is operating, all the direction
indicators automatically flash rapidly
to caution the driver of a vehicle
following behind your vehicle of a
sudden braking situation. Refer to

Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
▼Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
The HLA functions to assist in
accelerating the vehicle from a stop on
slopes. When releasing the brake pedal
and depressing the accelerator pedal
to accelerate the vehicle from a stop
while on a slope, the function prevents
the vehicle from rolling. The HLA also
operates when reversing on a slope.
The braking force is maintained
automatically after releasing the brake
pedal on a steep slope.
For manual transmission vehicles, the
HLA operates when the vehicle is tilted
rearward with the shift lever in a
forward gear, and operates when the
vehicle is tilted forward with the shift
lever in the R position.
For automatic transmission vehicles,
the HLA operates when the vehicle is
tilted rearward with the selector lever
in a forward gear, and operates when
the vehicle is tilted forward with the
selector lever in the R position.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on
HLA:
HLA is an auxiliary device for
accelerating from a stop on a slope.
The system only operates for about 2
seconds and therefore, relying only on
the system, when accelerating from a
stop is dangerous because the vehicle
may move (roll) unexpectedly and
cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on
the vehicle's load or if it is towing
something. In addition, for vehicles
with a manual transmission, the
vehicle could still roll depending on
how the clutch pedal or the accelerator
pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.
NOTE
xHLA does not operate on a gentle
slope. In addition, the gradient of
the slope on which the system will
operate changes depending on the
vehicle's load.
xHLA does not operate if the parking
brake is applied, the vehicle has not
stopped completely, or the clutch
pedal is released.
xWhile HLA is operating, the brake
pedal may feel stiff and vibrate,
however, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
xHLA does not operate while the
TCS/DSC indicator light is
illuminated.
Refer to TCS/DSC Indication/
Indicator Light (Turns on) on page
7-55.
xHLA does not turn off even if the TCS
OFF switch is pressed to turn
off the
TCS.
x(Automatic Transmission)
Although the HLA does not operate
during idling stop, the vehicle roll
prevention function operates to
prevent vehicle roll.

i-ACTIV AWD Operation
▼i-ACTIV AWD Operation
AWD provides excellent drivability on
snow-covered and ice-packed roads,
sand and mud, as well as on steep
slopes and other slippery surfaces.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to AWD Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-56.
WARNING
Never spin a wheel that is off the
ground:
Spinning a wheel that is off the ground
as a result of the vehicle being stuck or
in a ditch is dangerous. The drive
assembly could be seriously damaged
which could lead to an accident or
could even lead to overheating, oil
leakage, and a
fire.
▼AWD Driving
This vehicle has not been designed for
the purpose of off-road driving or
rallies. Do not attempt to drive over
uneven or rocky surfaces, or across
rivers.
Although this vehicle is equipped with
AWD, acceleration, steering and
braking operations should be
conducted in the same manner as with
a non-AWD vehicle, with the emphasis
placed on safe driving.
▼Ty re s a n d Ty re C h a i n s
The condition of the tyres plays a large
role in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to
the drive assembly, please note the
following:
Ty re s
xWhen replacing tyres, always replace
all front and rear tyres at the same
time.
xAll tyres must be of the same size,
manufacture, brand and tread
pattern. Pay particular attention
when equipping snow or other types
of winter tyres.
xDo not mix tread-worn tyres with
normal tyres.
xInspect tyre
inflation pressures at the
specified periods adjust to the
specified pressures.
NOTE
Check the tyre
inflation pressure label
attached to driver's door frame for the
correct tyre
inflation pressure.
xMake sure to equip the vehicle with
genuine tyres of the specified size,
on all wheels. With AWD, the system
is calibrated for all 4 wheels being of
the same dimensions.
Tyre chains
xInstall tyre chains to the front tyres.xDo not use tyre chains on the rear
wheels.
xDo not drive the vehicle faster than
30 km/h (19 mph) with the tyre
chains installed.
xDo not drive the vehicle with tyre
chains on road conditions other than
snow or ice.

High Beam Control
System (HBC)
*
▼High Beam Control System (HBC)
The HBC determines the conditions in
front of the vehicle using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in
darkness to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low
beams.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of
about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the
headlights are switched to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
The system switches the headlights to
low beams when one of the following
occurs:
xThe system detects a vehicle or the
headlights/lights of a vehicle
approaching in the opposite
direction.
xThe vehicle is driven on roads lined
with streetlamps or on roads in
well-lit cities and towns.
xThe vehicle is driven at less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph).
xThe headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams
are on.
1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)*1
*1 The recognition distance of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) varies according to
the surrounding conditions.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to High Beam Control System
(HBC) Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Amber) on page 7-58.
CAUTION
¾Do not adjust the vehicle height,
modify the headlight units, or
remove the camera, otherwise the
system will not operate normally.
¾Do not rely excessively on the HBC
and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch
the headlights between the high
beams and low beams manually if
necessary.
NOTE
The timing in which the system
switches the headlights changes under
the following conditions. If the system
does not switch the headlights
appropriately, manually switch
between high and low beams
according to the visibility as well as
road and traffic conditions.
xWhen there are sources of light in
the area such as street lamps,
illuminated signboards, and traffic
signals.
xWhen there are reflective objects in
the surrounding area such as
reflective plates and signs.
xWhen visibility is reduced under rain,
snow and foggy conditions.
