4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
• The engine may have been started
with the hood open.
Close the hood, turn the engine
switch off, wait for 30 seconds or more,
and then start the engine.
“In Preparation”
• The vehicle is being driven in a high
altitude area.
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system is being
used when the ambient temperature is high or low.
If the difference between the set tem-
perature and cabin temperature
becomes small, the system will be
enabled.
• The windshield defogger is on.
●When the engine automatically
restarts while stopped by the Stop & Start system
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system has been turned on or is being used.• The windshield defogger has been
turned on.
“Battery Charging”
• The battery charge may be low.
The engine is restarted to prioritize
battery charging. After the engine runs
for a certain amount of time, the system
will be enabled.
●When the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system
“Shift to N and Press Clutch to Restart”
When the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system, the shift lever was
moved to a position other than N without
depressing the clutch pedal.
■When the buzzer sounds
If the shift lever is shifted into a position other than N with clutch pedal released
when the engine is stopped by the Stop
& Start system, a buzzer will sound and the Stop &Start system indicator will flash. To stop the buzzer, put the shift
lever to N. Even in this situation, the engine starts if the clutch pedal is depressed.
■The Stop & Start system protection
function
●When the volume of the audio system
is excessively high, sound output from the audio system may suddenly be cut off in order to reduce battery con-
sumption. To prevent the audio sys- tem from being cut off, keep the volume of audio system at a moderate
level. If the audio system has been cut off, turn the engine switch off, wait for 3 seconds or more and then turn it to
ACC or ON to re-enable the audio system.
●The audio system may not be acti-vated if the battery terminals are dis-connected and then reconnected. If
this occurs, turn the engine switch off and then repeat the following opera-tion twice to activate the audio system
normally. • Turn the engine switch to ON and then to off.

4-6. Driving tips
Driving
the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a win-
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe
away the water immediately to
prevent it from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud from
the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to 1 or R without set-
ting the parking brake. The park-
ing brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
Use the correct tire chain size when
mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire
size.
Side chain:
3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter
10 mm (0.39 in.) in width
30 mm (1.18 in.) in length
Cross chain:
4 mm (0.16 in.) in diameter
14 mm (0.55 in.) in width
25 mm (0.98 in.) in length
Regulations regarding the use of
tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check
local regulations before installing

5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
To return to the previous mode, press
the windshield defogger switch again
when the windshield is defogged.
When the windshield defogger switch is
on, the indicator illuminates on the
windshield defogger switch.
■Defogging the rear window
and outside rear view mirrors
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” Nor-
mal
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.
■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 temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air tempera-
ture is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on the temperature setting or the inside tem-perature.
■When the outside temperature falls
to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” switch is
pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occur-ring:
