Washer/wiper dual opera-
tion
Pulling the lever operates the wipers and
washer.
The wipers will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer squirts.
(After operating several times, the wipers
operate once more time after a short delay
to prevent dripping. However, the dripping
prevention does not operate while the
vehicle is moving.)
When the engine switch <power switch> is
in IGNITION ON mode <ON mode> and
the headlights are on, if the lever is pulled,
the headlight cleaners will operate once.
After this, the headlight cleaners will oper-
ate every 5th time the lever is pulled.
Q
The windshield wiper and washer can be
operated when

Q
Raindrop sensor
O
The raindrop sensor judges the amount
of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.
O
If the wiper is turned to AUTO position
while the engine switch <power switch> is
in IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>,
the wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
O
If the temperature of the raindrop sensor
is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -30°C (-
22°F) or lower, automatic operation may
not occur. In this case, operate the wipers
in any mode other than AUTO.
Q
If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not
blocked if there is washer fluid in the wind-
shield washer fluid reservoir.
Q
Door opening linked windshield wiper
stop function
When AUTO is selected and the wind-
shield wipers are operating, if a door is
opened, the operation of the windshield
wipers will be stopped to prevent anyone
near the vehicle from being sprayed by
water from the wipers, provided the vehicle
is stopped. When the door is closed, wiper
operation will resume.
Q
To protect the windshield wipers
If movement of the windshield wipers is
largely restricted by a foreign object such as
snow, the operation of the windshield wip-
ers may be stopped automatically to pro-
tect the windshield wipers. In this case, turn
the windshield wiper switch off and remove

Observe the following precautions while
refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
O
After exiting the vehicle and before
opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge
any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refu-
eling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors
to ignite while refueling.
O
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.
O
Do not allow anyone that has not dis-
charged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel
tank.
O
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
O
Do not smoke while refueling the vehi-
cle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite
and cause a fire.
O
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 possible ignition
hazard.
Q
When refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
O
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the
fuel filler neck.
O
Stop filling the tank after the fuel noz-
zle automatically clicks off.
O
Do not top off the fuel tank.

Q
Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the driver
to take evasive action.
PCS (Pre-Collision System)
*
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera to detect vehi-
cles and pedestrians
*1
in front of your vehicle. When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, a
warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential
brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the system
determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian
is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing can be
changed. (

Q
Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system applies greater braking
force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
Q
Pre-collision braking
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system warns the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or reduce the
collision speed.
Q
Suspension control
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem (
P.324) will control the damp-
ing force of the shock absorbers to
help maintain an appropriate vehicle
posture.
Q
Steering control (if equipped)
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high
and the driver is operating the steering
wheel, the LDH system (
P.325) will
control the turning angle of the front
and rear wheels and effort necessary
to turn the steering wheel to help
enhance steering responsiveness.
WARNING
Q
Limitations of the pre-collision system
O
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 operations
under any circumstances. This system
will not prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every situa-
tion. Do not overly rely on this system.
Failure to do so may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
O
Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effective-
ness may change according to various
conditions, therefore the system may
not always be able to achieve the same
level of performance.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no possi-
bility of a collision:
P.263
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly:
P.265
O
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, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
Q
Pre-collision braking
O
When the pre-collision braking func-
tion is operating, a large amount of
braking force will be applied.

Q
Enabling/disabling the pre-colli-
sion system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on
(
P.106) of
the multi-information display.
WARNING
O
If the vehicle is stopped by the opera-
tion of the pre-collision braking func-
tion, the pre-collision braking function
operation will be canceled after
approximately 2seconds. Depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
O
The pre-collision braking function may
not operate if certain operations are
performed by the driver. If the acceler-
ator pedal is being depressed strongly
or the steering wheel is being turned,
the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and pos-
sibly prevent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
O
In some situations, while the pre-colli-
sion braking function is operating,
operation of the function may be can-
celed if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly or the steering
wheel is turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking evasive
action.
O
If the brake pedal is being depressed,
the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and pos-
sibly delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision braking function.
Q
When to disable the pre-collision sys-
tem
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate properly,
possibly leading to an accident resulting
in death or serious injury:
O
