Windshield Wipers and
Washer
▼Windshield Wipers and Washer
The windshield wipers and washer can
be used when the power switch is
switched ON.
WARNING
Use only windshield washer
fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fl uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
a ff ect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Only use windshield washer fluid
mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions:
Using windshield washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it
could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an
accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is su fficiently warmed using
the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.
CAUTION
When the wipers are not used during
freezing temperatures or for a long
time, the wiper rubber may adhere
to the glass. If the wipers are
operated while adhered to the glass,
it could damage the wiper rubber
and motor.

WARNING
Do not use the HomeLink system with

Using the HomeLink system with any

required by federal safety standards is
dangerous. (This includes garage doors

If the indicator light flashes
rapidly in green, firmly press and
hold the Homelink button and
release it after two seconds have
passed. Repeat this process up to
three times to complete the
programming. The device
becomes operational and
programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, go to
the next step.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button.
This can usually be found where the

NOTE
Complete the programming within

▼ Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or
quit) after several seconds of
transmission
― which may not be long
enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to
this Canadian law, some U.S. gate
operators are designed to “time-out”
in the same manner.

Emergency Stop SignalSystem
▼Emergency Stop Signal System
If you apply the brakes suddenly while
driving at a speed of about 55 km/h
(34 mph) or faster, the emergency stop
signal system automatically and rapidly
fl
ashes all the turn signal lights to
caution drivers behind your vehicle of
the sudden braking situation.
NOTE
Flashing
When you bring your vehicle to a
complete stop while all the turn
signal lights are flashing rapidly, the
rapid flashing of all the turn signal
lights changes back to the normal
fl ashing pattern. The turn signal lights
turn o ff when you release your foot
from the brake pedal.
Operation
When the ABS operates, the
emergency stop signal system is
more likely to operate. Therefore, if
the brake pedal is depressed on a
slippery road, all of the turn signal
lights may flash.
The emergency stop signal system
does not operate when the hazard
warning light switch is pressed.
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.
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.
Always con firm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.
NOTE
HLA 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.
