GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it is
made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.DASHBOARD................8

39)Always return the outside mirrors to the
driving position before you start driving:
driving with the outside mirrors folded in is
dangerous. Your rear view will be
restricted, and you could have an accident.
Manually fold the outside mirror rearward
until it is flush with the vehicle.
40)Do not stack cargo or objects higher
than the seatbacks: cargo stacked higher
than the seatbacks is dangerous. It can
block your view in the rearview mirror,
which might cause you to hit another car
when changing lanes.EXTERIOR LIGHTS

DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
41) 42)
Some countries require moving vehicles
to have their lights on (running lights)
during the daytime.
The running lights turn on automatically
when the vehicle starts moving.
They turn off when the parking brake is
operated or the selector lever is shifted
to the P position (versions with
automatic transmission).
HIGH BEAMS
The headlights switch between high
and low beams by moving the lever
forward or backward.
When the headlight high-beams are on,
the
warning light is turned on.
FLASH TO PASS
Can be used when the ignition is
switched ON.
To flash the headlights, pull the lever
fully towards you (the headlight switch
does not need to be on).
The
warning light in the instrument
cluster illuminates simultaneously.
The lever will return to the normal
position when released.
AUTOMATIC LIGHTING(where provided)
Light sensor
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTOposition and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor senses
the surrounding lightness or darkness
and automatically turns the headlights,
other exterior lights and dashboard
illumination on or off.
IMPORTANT The light sensor also
works as a rain sensor for the
auto-wiper control. Keep hands and
scrapers clear of the windshield when
the wiper lever is in the AUTO position
and the ignition is switched ON as
fingers could be pinched or the wipers
and wiper blades damaged when the
wipers activate automatically. If you are
going to clean the windshield, be sure
the wipers are turned off completely
(this is particularly important when
clearing ice and snow) when it is
particularly tempting to leave the engine
running.

switched to ACC or OFF, the low beam
headlights turn on.
The headlights turn off after a certain
period of time has elapsed after the
doors are closed.
The time until the headlights turn off
after all of the doors are closed can be
changed. If no operations are done for
3 minutes after the lever is pulled, the
headlights turn off.
The headlights turn off if the lever is
pulled again while the headlights are on.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS(where provided)
The front fog lights can be used when
the ignition is switched ON.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

ODOMETER / TRIP METER
The display mode can be changed from
odometer to “Trip meter A” to “Trip
meter B” and then back to odometer by
pressing the selector 1 fig. 52 while one
of them is displayed. The selected
mode will be displayed.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total
distance of two trips. One is recorded in
“Trip A”, and the other is recorded in
“Trip B”.
For instance, “Trip A” can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
“Trip B” can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.
Use this meter to measure trip
distances and to compute fuel
consumption.Versions with Radio 7”: if the fuel
economy data is reset using the fuel
economy monitor, or Trip A is reset
using the trip meter when the function
which synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and Trip A are reset
simultaneously.
NOTE Only the trip meters record
tenths of kilometers (miles).
Trip meter reset
The trip meter will be erased when the
power supply is interrupted (blown fuse
or the battery is disconnected) or when
the vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).
INSTRUMENT PANEL
ILLUMINATION
Brightness adjustment
The brightness of the instrument cluster
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob 1 fig. 53:
the brightness decreasesby
rotating the knob to the left. A beep
sound will be heard when the knob has
been rotated to the maximum dim
position;
the brightness increasesby
rotating the knob to the right.Cancelling illumination dimmer
Rotate the knob to the right until a beep
sound is heard while the instrument
cluster is dimmed with the ignition
switched ON. If the instrument cluster's
visibility is reduced due to glare from
surrounding brightness, cancel the
illumination dimmer.
When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position lights
are turned on. When the illumination
dimmer is canceled, the screen in the
center display switches to constant
display of the daytime screen.

faster than about 20 km/h, the warning light
flashes. After a short time, the LED stops
flashing, but remains illuminated.
If a seat belt remains unfastened, the LED
flashes again for a given period of time.
If the driver or passenger's seat belt is
unfastened after the LED turns on, and the
vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h, the LED
flashes again.
Passenger occupant classification
system: to allow the passenger occupant
classification sensor to function properly, do
not place and sit on an additional seat cushion
on the passenger's seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional seat
cushion could cause sensor interference.
