■When installing a child restraint  
system 
Observe the following precautions.  Failure to do so may result in death or  
serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play with 
the seat belt. If the seat belt 
becomes twisted around a child’s 
neck, it may lead to choking or  other serious injuries that could  
result in death. If this occurs and 
the buckle cannot be unfastened,  scissors should be used to cut the  
belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are 
securely locked and  the seat belt is  
not twisted.
●Shake the child rest raint system left  
and right, and forward and back- ward to ensure that it has been  
securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint sys-
tem, never adjust the seat.
●When a junior seat is installed, 
always ensure that the shoulder 
belt is positioned across the center  of the child’s shoulder. The belt  
should be kept away from the 
child’s neck, but not so that it could  fall off the child’s shoulder.
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint sys- 
tem manufacturer.

3886-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Defogging the rear window  
and outside rear view mirrors
Vehicles without outside rear 
view mirror defoggers 
A defogger is used to defog the  
rear window. 
Press the rear window defogger  
switch.
The defogger will automatically turn off  
after a while. 
When the rear window defogger switch  
is on, the indicator illuminates on the 
rear window defogger switch.
Vehicles with outside rear view  
mirror defoggers 
Defoggers are used to defog the  
rear window, and to remove rain-
drops, dew and frost from the out-
side rear view mirrors. 
Press the rear window and outside  
rear view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off  
after a while. 
When the rear window and outside rear  
view mirror defoggers switch is on, the 
indicator illuminates on the rear window 
and outside rear view mirror defoggers 
switch.
■Using the Climate Preference 
1 Press the Automatic mode  
switch. 
2 Press the “FAST/ECO” switch. 
Each time the “FAST/ECO” switch  
is pressed, the fan speed setting 
mode toggles as follows. 
Normal “ECO”“FAST”Normal 
When “ECO” is displayed on the air  
conditioning screen, the air condi-
tioning is controlled with low fuel 
consumption prioritized such as 
reducing fan speed, etc. 
When “FAST” is displayed on the  
screen, fan speed will be 
increased.
■S-FLOW mode (if equipped) 
In S-FLOW mode, priority for the  
airflow is given to  the driver’s seat,  
reducing the airflow and air condi-
tioning effect on the front passen-
ger’s seat and rear seats. 
When the S-FLOW mode switch is  
pressed, S-FLOW mode will be 
manually enabled/disabled.
When the S-FLOW mode is on, the  
indicator illuminates on the S-FLOW 
mode switch and the temperature indi-
cator for the passenger side will turn off.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when  the humidity in the vehicle is high.  
Turning “A/C” on will dehumidify the 
air from the outlets and defog the 
windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may 
fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-
culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads 
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by  
the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle 
after closing the windows, it is recom- mended that the air intake mode be set  
to outside air mode and the fan speed to 
any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode

Maintenance and care
 Remove dirt and dust using a  
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with 
lukewarm water. 
 If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it  
off with a soft cloth dampened 
with neutral detergent diluted to 
approximately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from 
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off  
remaining traces of detergent  
and water.
■Shampooing the carpets 
There are several commercial foam- 
ing-type cleaners available. Use a 
sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub  in overlapping circles. Do not use water.  
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. 
Excellent results are obtained by keep- ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts 
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm  
water using a cloth or sponge. Also  check the belts peri odically for exces- 
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
Cleaning and protecting  
the vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a manner  
appropriate to each compo-
nent and its material.

■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the  
vehicle. Doing so may cause electrical com- 
ponents, etc. to malfunction or 
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior 
wet. ( P. 3 5 ) 
An electrical malfunction may 
cause the airbags to deploy or not  function properly, resulting in death  
or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger 
( P.402) get wet. Failure to do so  may cause the charger to become  
hot and cause burns or could cause 
electric shock resulting in death or  serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel) 
Do not use polish wax or polish  
cleaner. The instrument panel may  reflect off the windshield, obstructing  
the driver’s view and leading to an 
accident, resulting in death or serious  injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discolor the  
vehicle interior or  cause streaks or  
damage to painted surfaces: 
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- 
stances such as benzene or gaso-
line, alkaline or acidic solutions,  dye, and bleach 
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions,  such as thinner, benzene, and alco-
