■When parking the vehicle
Before you leave the vehicle, set the
parking brake, shift the shift lever to P
(automatic transmission) or N (man- ual transmission) and make sure that
the vehicle does not move.
■Before driving
Fully release the parking brake.
Driving the vehicle with the parking
brake set will lead to brake compo- nents overheating, which may affect
braking performance and increase
brake wear.

Operating the switch turns
on the lights as follows:
1 The headlights, front posi-
tion/daytime running lights
( P.153) and all the lights listed
above turn on and off automati-
cally. (When the engine switch is
in ON.)
2 The front position, tail,
license plate and instrument
panel lights turn on.
3 The headlights and all lights
listed above (except daytime
running lights) turn on.
4 The daytime running lights
turn on. ( P.153)
■AUTO mode can be used when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released with the
headlight switch off or in the posi-
tion. (Illuminate brighter than the front
position lights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
●When the turn signal indicators are flashing, the daytime running light on
the side that the turn signals are flash-
ing will turn off.
●When the emergency flashers are
flashing, both daytime running lights will turn off.
■Headlight control sensor
In the following situations, the automatic
light control system may not operate correctly.
●When an object is placed on the sen-sor or something which blocks the
sensor is affixed to the windshield
●When the surrounding area is lit by light other than natural light
■Automatic light off system
●When the light switch is in or :
The headlights turn off automatically if the engine switch is turned off.
●When the light switch is in : The
headlights and all lights turn off auto-
matically if the engine switch is turned
off.

●Steep downhill grades
• The set vehicle speed may be
exceeded.
●On a steep continuous downhill
grade
• The brakes may overheat.
●Roads and overpasses with
repeated steep uphill and downhill grades
• Detection of the vehicle in front may
be lost, or the road surface may be detected instead of the vehicle in
front, making correct control impos-
sible.
●Entering a sharp curve/turn into an
interchange or junction, or a service area, parking area, toll booth or
other facilities
• Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
●There are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or exit.
●Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind,
or the front vision is obscured due
to water splashes, snow, dirt, water spray from road sprinklers or snow
clearing sprinklers on the road, or
dust stir up generated by the vehi- cle in front or oncoming traffic.
• Detection of the vehicle in front may
be lost, or water or other sub- stances may be incorrectly
detected instead, making correct
control impossible.
●In adverse weather, such as heavy snow or snowstorms

have the system inspected.
• A sticker, paint, or a chemical is applied to the sonar sensors or the
rear bumper near the sonar sensor.
• The rear bumper is modified. • The rear bumper has been removed
and attached.
• The ground clearance is changed due to the vehicle’s loading condition or
modification.
• There is damage to the sonar sensors or the rear bumper near the sonar
sensor.
• The rear bumper is exposed to strong impact, or the rear bumper is
deformed.
●On a steep hill, the system’s auto-
matic braking ability will be reduced.
●The system is designed to avoid colli-
sions by automatic hard braking when
the vehicle’s reversing speed is less than approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
However, the system does not guar-
antee that the vehicle will be able to avoid collisions in any situation.
●If the vehicle is reversed at an extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In this
case, automatic braking will not oper- ate.
●The system may not be able to detect and apply the brake with the following
objects.
• Sharp or thin objects such as poles, fences and ropes which may not
reflect the sound wave emitted from
the sonar sensor. • Objects that are too close to the rear
bumper when the shift lever is set to
R. • Objects with a surface which may not
reflect the sound wave emitted from
the sonar sensor such as a chain link
fence.
●Objects the system is not designed to
detect and apply brake. • Pedestrians.
• Moving objects including moving vehi-
cles. • Objects which absorbs sound waves
such as cloth or snow.
• Objects whose surface has a diagonal
angle. • Objects that are low to the ground
such as parking blocks.
• Objects that are high above the ground such as objects hanging from
above.
• Objects that are out of range of the center of the vehicle in the horizontal
direction.
• Objects that are not in a vertical direc- tion.
• Objects which are not perpendicular
to the ground. • Objects which are not directly in the
traveling direction of the vehicle.
• Objects which are uneven or wavy.
●When reversing the vehicle, the func-
tions may not be able to work properly or may cause a system malfunction if
the following conditions exist.
High frequency sound from other
sources are nearby:
• Horn sound from another vehicle. • Engine sound from other vehicles.
• Sound of an air brake.
• Vehicle detection equipment or a sonar from another vehicle.
• A sound wave with a frequency similar
to the vehicle’s system is transmitted near by.
• A vehicle equipped with the same sys-
tem is reversing toward your reversing direction.
●Weather conditions:• Extremely high or extremely low tem-
peratures in which the area near the
sonar sensor becomes too hot or too cold to operate.
• The sonar sensors or the rear bumper
near the sonar sensors are exposed to heavy rain or a significant amount
of water.
• Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
• Air is moving rapidly such as when a strong wind is blowing.
●Parts attached to the rear bumper near the sonar sensor:
• Commercial electronic parts (fog light,
fender pole, radio antenna) or com- mercial attachment parts (trailer hitch,
