Driving
*: If equipped
Operating the switch oper-
ates the rear wiper as follows:
1 Intermittent window wiper
operation
2 Normal window wiper oper-
ation
3 Washer/wiper dual opera-
tion
Pushing the lever operates the wiper
and washer.
The wiper will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer squirts.
■The rear window wiper and washer
can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the washer nozzle is not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■Back door opening linked rear win-
dow wiper stop function
When the rear window wiper are operat-
ing, if a back door is opened while the
vehicle is stopped, operation of the rear window wiper will be stopped to prevent
anyone near the vehicle from being
sprayed by water from the wiper. When the back door is closed, wiper operation
will resume.
Rear window wiper and
washer*
Operating the lever can use the
rear window wiper or the
washer.
NOTICE
■When the rear window is dry
Do not use the wiper, as it may dam-
age the rear window.

Driving
4-4.Refueling
Turn the engine switch off and
ensure that all the doors and
windows are closed.
Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
P.576
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only
accommodates the special nozzle on
unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank
cap
Perform the following steps to
open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
WA R N I N G
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to dis-
charge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static elec-
tricity before refueling because
sparks resulting from static electric- ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite
while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to
remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized
fuel may spray out the filler neck
and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open
fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the
vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to
ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch
any person or object that is stati-
cally charged. This may cause static electricity to
build up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into
the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.

■Limitations of the pre-collision
system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your
surroundings. Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances.
This system will not prevent colli- sions or lessen collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not
overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effec- tiveness may change according to
various conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able to achieve the same level of perfor-
mance.
Read the following conditions care- fully. Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: P.228
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly: P. 2 2 9
●Do not attempt to test the operation
of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard
objects imitating detectable objects,
etc.), the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large amount of braking force will be
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision brak-
ing function, the pre-collision brak-
ing function operation will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds. Depress the brake pedal as
necessary.
●The pre-collision braking function
may not operate if certain opera- tions are performed by the driver. If
the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system
may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly pre- vent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
●In some situations, while the
pre-collision braking function is
operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator
pedal is depressed strongly or the
steering wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is
taking evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking eva- sive action and possibly delay the
operation timing of the pre-collision
braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing
another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via
truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
with the engine running and the tires are allowed to rotate freely

■Enabling/disabling the pre-col-
lision system
The pre-collisio n system can be
enabled/disabled on ( P.577)
of the multi-information display.
The system is auto matically enabled
each time the engine switch is turned to
ON.
If the system is disabled, the PCS
warning light will turn on and a
message will be di splayed on the
multi-information display.
■Changing the pre-collision
warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing
can be changed on ( P.577) of
the multi-information display.
The warning timing setting is retained
when the engine switch is turned off.
However, if the pr e-collision system is
disabled and re-enabled, the operation
timing will return to the default setting
(middle).

be obtained, prev enting the system from performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate
to their full extent, such as when the brake parts are extremely cold,
extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly main- tained (brakes or ti res are excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure,
etc.)

■Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required
assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its
current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is not operating, the
lane centering function does not oper-
ate.
In situations where the white (yellow)
lane lines are difficult to see or are not
visible, such as when in a traffic jam,
this function will operate to help follow a
preceding vehicle by monitoring the
position of the preceding vehicle.
If the system detects that the steering
wheel has not been operated for a fixed
amount of time or the steering wheel is
not being firmly gripped, a warning is
displayed on the multi-information dis-
play and the function is temporarily
canceled.
