WARNING
.The heater and air conditioner
operate only when the engine is
running.
. Never leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in the
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or con-
trols and inadvertently become
involved in a serious accident
and injure themselves. On hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause
the interior air to become stale
and the windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driv-
ing so that full attention may be
given to vehicle operation. The heater and air conditioner operate
when the engine is running. The air
blower will operate even if the engine is
turned off and the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
NOTE:
.
Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
ventilators.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into
the passenger compartment. This
should help reduce odors inside the
vehicle.

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate for a maximum of 150 seconds.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
The sensors
and, located on the
instrument panel, help maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around the sensors.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However, it may

NOTE:
.A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is
driven without releasing the parking
brake. See “Audible reminders” (P.2-
18).
. While the electronic parking brake is
applied or released, an operating
sound is heard from the lower side
of the rear seat. This is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.
. When the electronic parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the parking
brake may not operate in order to
prevent the parking brake system
from overheating. If this occurs,
operate the electronic parking brake
switch again after waiting approxi-
mately 1 minute.
. If the electronic parking brake must
be applied while driving in an emer-
gency, pull up and hold the parking
brake switch. When you release the
parking brake switch, the parking
brake will be released.
. While pulling up the electronic park-
ing brake switch during driving, the
parking brake is applied and a chime
sounds. The electronic parking
brake indicator light in the meter
and in the parking brake switch
illuminate. This does not indicate a
malfunction. The electronic parking brake indicator light in the meter
and in the parking brake switch turn
off when the parking brake is re-
leased.
. When pulling the electronic parking
brake switch up with the ignition
switch in the OFF or ACC position,
the parking brake switch indicator
light will continue to illuminate for a
short period of time.The automatic brake hold function main-
tains the braking force without the driver
having to depress the brake pedal when
the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or
intersection. As soon as the driver de-
presses the accelerator pedal again, the
automatic brake hold function is deacti-
vated and the braking force is released.
The operating status of the automatic
brake hold can be displayed on the
vehicle information display.
WARNING
.The automatic brake hold func-
tion is not designed to hold the
vehicle on a steep hill or slippery
road. Never use the automatic
brake hold when the vehicle is
stopped on a steep hill or slippery
road. Failure to do so may cause
the vehicle to move.
. When the automatic brake hold
function is activated but fails to
maintain the vehicle at a stand-
still, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle. If the vehicle
unexpectedly moves due to out-
side conditions, the chime may
sound and automatic brake hold
warning may illuminate in the
vehicle information display.
Starting and driving5-29
AUTOMATIC BRAKE HOLD (if so equipped)

5-80Starting and driving
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death:
.The ICC system is primarily in-
tended for use on straight, dry,
open roads with light traffic. It is
not advisable to use the ICC
system in city traffic or congested
areas.
. The ICC system will not adapt
automatically to road conditions.
This system should be used in
evenly flowing traffic. Do not use
the system on roads with sharp
curves or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the ICC sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving or overcome poor
visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle
speed by depressing the brake
pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in or-
der to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
. When the ICC system automati-
cally brings the vehicle to a stop, your vehicle can automatically
accelerate if the vehicle is
stopped for less than approxi-
mately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance
between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:
— On roads with heavy, high-
speed traffic or sharp curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the bumper around the
distance sensor — On steep downhill roads (the
vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over-
heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
— Interference by other radar sources.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. Always stay alert and
avoid using the ICC system where
not recommended in this warn-
ing section.
The ICC system will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary or slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
