(downshift only).
When engine oil temperature
is high and engine speed
rises close to the red zone.
■Downshifting restriction warn-
ing buzzer
If downshifting operations are per-
formed at a vehicle speed by which
downshifting is not possible (when
downshifting will cause the engine
speed to enter the red zone), a
buzzer will sound to w arn the driver
that downshifting cannot be per-
formed.

This function operates when the
vehicle speed is 5 mph (8 km/h) or
higher.

■The windshield wiper and
washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the wash er nozzles are
not blocked if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reser-
v oi r.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of
washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the
washer fluid until the windshield
becomes warm. The fluid may
freeze on the windshield and
cause low visibility. This may lead
to an accident, resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE

Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
P. 3 8 8
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling,
your vehicle has a fuel tank opening
that only accommodates the spe-
cial nozzle on unle aded fuel pumps.
■If the malfunction indicator
lamp illuminates
The malfunction indicator lamp may
illuminate erroneous ly if refueling is
performed repeatedly when the fuel
tank is nearly full.

WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure
to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not handle fuel indoors.
●After exiting the vehicle and
before opening the fuel door,
touch an unpainted metal sur-
face to discharge any static
electricity. It is important to dis-
charge static electricity before
refueling because sparks result-
ing from static electricity 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 f uel 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 allow anyone to
approach the area of the vehicle
near the fuel f iller pipe while
refueling is in progress.
●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 statically charged.
This may cause static electricity
to build up, resulting in a possi-
ble ignition hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions
to prevent fuel overflowing from
the fuel tank:
1684-4. Refueling
1With the doors unlocked,
press the center of the rear
edge of the fuel filler door.
Push until you hear a click and take
your hand away to slightly open the
fuel filler door. Then open the door fully by hand.
2
Turn the fuel tank cap slowly
and remove it, then put it into
the holder on the fuel filler
door.
■When opening the fuel filler
door
The fuel filler door cannot be
opened if the doo rs have been
unlocked using a inside lock button.
Unlock the doors u sing the entry
function, wireless remote control, or
door lock switch. ( P.105, 106)
■If the fuel filler door cannot be
opened

tank cap until you hear a
click. Once the cap is
WARNING
●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.
●Turn the cap to the right until it
clicks to ensure that it is fully
tightened. If the cap is not
securely tightened, fuel spillage
could occur in t he event of an
accident, creating a fire hazard.
NOTICE
■Refueling
●Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehi-
cle, such as causing the emis-
sion control system to operate
abnormally or damaging fuel
system components or the vehi-
cle’s painted surface.
●Never add any cleaning agents
to the fuel tank. The addition of
a cleaning agent may cause
damage to the fuel system.
●Immediately put fuel in the tank
whenever the low fuel warning
light illuminates. Engine misfires
as a result of an empty tank
could cause damage to the
engine.
