WARNING
■Before using the head-up display
●Check that the position and brightness
of the head-up display image does not
interfere with safe driving. Incorrect
adjustment of the image’s position or
brightness may obstruct the driver’s
view and lead to an accident, resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Do not continuously look at the head-
up display while driving as you may fail
to see pedestrians, objects on the
road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■Caution for changing settings of the
head-up display
As the engine needs to be running while
changing the settings of the head-up dis-
play, ensure that the vehicle is parked in a
place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust
gases including harmful carbon monox-
ide (CO) may collect and enter the vehi-
cle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.

Before driving
charged while the vehicle is not in operation
for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart
access system with pu sh-button start may
take some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left within approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside of
the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart access system with push-but- ton start has not been used for 5 days or
longer.
●If the smart access system with push-but-
ton start has not been used for 14 days or
longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at
the passenger door. In this case, push the
depression on the front edge the driver’s
door handle, or use the wireless remote
control or mechanical key, to unlock the
doors.
■Turning an electronic key to battery-
saving mode
When battery-saving mode is set, battery
depletion is minimized by stopping the
electronic key from receiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing and
holding . Confirm that the elec-
tronic key indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set, the
smart access system with push-button start
cannot be used. To cancel the function,
press any of the electronic key buttons.
●Electronic keys that will not be used for
long periods of time can be set to the bat-
tery-saving mode in advance.
■Conditions affe cting operation
The smart access system with push-button
start uses weak radio waves. In the follow-
ing situations, the communication between
the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart access sys- tem with push-button start, wireless remote
control and engine immobilizer system
from operating properly.
(Ways of coping:
P.330)
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio stat ion, large display,
airport or other fac ility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact
with, or is covered by the following metal-
lic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil
inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that emit
radio waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• Another electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or
metallic objects are attached to the rear
window
●When the electronic key is placed near a
battery charger or electronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a pay park-
ing spot where radio waves are emitted
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the
effective range (detection areas), the sys-
tem may not operate properly in the fol-
lowing cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the win- dow or outside door handle, near the
ground, or in a high place when the doors

visibility will be reduced, the windows
may become fogged-up, and the road
will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driving on
an expressway in the rain, because there
may be a layer of wa ter between the tires
and the road surface, preventing the
steering and brakes from operating
properly.
■Engine speed while driving

speed may become high while driving. This
Driving the vehicle

observed to ensure safe driving:
Driving procedure

1484-2. Driving procedures
The engine will stop, and the meter display
will be extinguished (the shift position indi-
cator will be extinguished a few seconds
after the meter display).
5Check that “ACCESSORY” or
“IGNITION ON” is not shown on
the meter.

●The vehicle is equipped with a feature
that automatically shuts off the engine
when the shift position is in P with the
engine running for an extended period.
●The engine will automatically shut off
after approximately 1 hour if it has been
left running while the shift position is in P.
●The timer for the automatic engine shut
off feature will reset if the brake pedal is
depressed or if the shift position is in a
position other than P.
●After the vehicle is parked, if the door is
locked with the door lock switch
( P.98) from the inside or the mechani-
cal key ( P.330) from the outside, the
automatic engine shut off feature will be

WARNING
■Stopping the engine in an emergency
●If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for
more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession.
( P.306)
However, do not touch the engine
switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the engine off while
driving will not cause loss of steering
or braking control, however, power
assist to the steering will be lost. This
will make it more difficult to steer
smoothly, so you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
●If the engine switch is operated while
the vehicle is running, a warning mes-
sage will be shown on the multi-infor-
mation display and a buzzer sounds.
●When restarting the engine after an
emergency shutdown, press the
engine switch.
■When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases
to enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated
area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the
engine running for a long time. If such
a situation cannot be avoided, park the
vehicle in an open space and ensure
that exhaust fumes do not enter the
vehicle interior.
