Do not use ACC under these conditions:•In poor visibility.•In heavy traffic.•When you must slow down and speed up
repeatedly.
•On winding roads.•When you enter a toll gate, interchange, service
area, parking area, etc. In these areas, there is no
vehicle ahead of you, but ACC would still try to
accelerate to your set speed.
•In bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)•On a slippery road (for example a road covered
with ice or snow).
•When a spare tire is installed.•When going down a steep hill where the engine
braking does not work sufficiently.

uuWhen Driving uACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)*
Driving
The radar sensor monitors the distance be tween your vehicle and a vehicle ahead of
you. When the sensor detects a change in distance, the system compensates it by
accelerating or braking your vehicle in order to maintain the cruising speed you
previously set.
■When in Operation1 When in Operation
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if
another vehicle cuts in front of you, the beeper
sounds and a message ap pears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
distance from the vehicle ahead. 2 CMBS
TM (Collision Mitigation Braking
SystemTM)* P. 257
If the CMBS
TM has been turned off, there is no
audible or visible alert available.
Even if the distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is short, CMBS
TM may not alert you or
ACC may start accelerating your vehicle under the
following circumstances:
•The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than your vehicle.
•A vehicle cuts in front of you is going faster than
your vehicle, gradually distancing.
If you do not want to hear a beep when the system
detects a vehicle, or when the vehicle goes out of
ACC range, you can change the pre-running detect
car beep setting. 2 Customized Features P. 94
■When ACC detects a
vehicle within ACC range:■When the vehicle goes
out of ACC range:

uuWhen Driving uBSI (Blind Spot Information)*
Driving
BSI (Blind Spot Information)*
Is designed to detect vehicles in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots.”
When vehicles in adjacent lanes are approaching your vehicle from behind, the
appropriate indicator comes on, providing assistance when you change lanes.
■How the system works
■When the system detects a vehicle
1BSI (Blind Spot Information)*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over
reliance on BSI may result in a collision.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur.
•The BSI alert indicator may not come on due to
obstruction (splashes, etc.) even without the BLIND
SPOT NOT AVAILABLE multi-information display
appearing.
•The BSI alert indicator may come on even with the
message appearing.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.

uuWhen Driving uBSI (Blind Spot Information)*
Driving
Press the BSI OFF button until you hear a beep to turn on and off the system. A
message on the multi-information display appears for five seconds and indicates
that the system is on or off.
When BSI is off, the BSI indicator in the in strument panel stays on.
BSI stays off next time you sta rt the engine, if you turned it off the last time you drive
the vehicle.
■BSI On and Off1 BSI (Blind Spot Information)*
The BSI alert indicator may not come on under
following conditions:
•A vehicle does not stay in the alert zone for more
than two seconds.
•A vehicle is parked in a side lane.•The speed difference between your vehicle and the
vehicle you are passing is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h).
•An object not detected by the radar sensors
approaches or passes your vehicle.
Turn the system off when towing a trailer. The system
does not work properly for the following reasons:
•The added mass tilts the vehicle and changes the radar coverage.•The trailer itself can be detected by the radar sensors,
causing the BSI alert indicators to come on.
BSI may be adversel y affected when:•Objects (guard rails, poles, trees, etc,.) are detected.•An object that does not reflect radio waves well,
such as a motorcycle, is in the alert zone.
•Driving on a curved road.•A vehicle is moving from a far lane to the adjacent lane.•The system picks up external electrical interference.•The rear bumper or the sensors have been improperly
repaired or the rear bumper has been deformed.
•The orientation of the sensors has been changed.•In bad weather (Heavy rain, snow, and fog).
For a proper BSI use:
•Always keep the rear bu mper corner area clean.•Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with
labels or stickers of any kind.
•Take your vehicle to a dealer if you need the rear bumper
corner area or the radar sensors to be repaired, or the
rear bumper corner area is strongly impacted.

Driving
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving. If your vehicle’s tire pressure
becomes significantly low, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on and a
message appears on the mu lti-information display.
To select the tire pressure monitor, turn the
ignition switch to ON
w*1 and press the /
button until you see the tire pressure screen.
If all the tire pressures are normal, TIRE
PRESSURE OK and the pressure of all four
tires will be displayed.
The pressure for each tire is displayed in PSI
(U.S.) or kPa (Canada).
*1: Models with the keyless access system have an ENGINE START/STOP button
instead of an ignition switch.
■Tire Pressure Monitor
1 TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Conditions such as low ambient temperature and
altitude change directly affect tire pressure and can
trigger the low tire pressure / TPMS indicator to come
on. 2 If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator
Comes On or Blinks P. 337
Tire pressure checked and inflated in:
•Warm weather can beco me under-inflated in
colder weather.
•Cold weather can become over-inflated in warmer
weather.
The low tire pressure/TPM S indicator will not come
on as a result of over inflation.
1 Tire Pressure Monitor
The pressure displayed on the multi-information
display can be slightly different from the actual
pressure as measured by a gauge. If there is a
significant difference between the two values, or if
the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator and the message
on the multi-information display do not go off after
you have inflated the tire to the specified pressure,
have the system checked by a dealer.
TPMS ERROR may appear if you drive with the
compact spare tire, or ther e is a problem with the
TPMS.
