Is an assistance system that allows you to check the passenger side rear areas 
displayed on the audio/information screen when the turn signal is activated to the 
passenger’s side. A camera in the passenger side door mirror monitors these areas 
and allows you to check for vehicle, in addition to your visual check and use of the 
passenger door mirror. You can also keep the system on for your convenience while 
driving.

Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has limitations. 
Over reliance on LaneWatch may result in a collision.
The LaneWatch function can be affected by weather, 
lighting (including headlights and low sun angle), 
ambient darkness, camera condition, and loading.
The LaneWatch camera view is restricted. Its unique 
lens makes objects on the screen look slightly 
different from what they are.
LaneWatch display does not come on when the shift 
lever is in 
(R.
The LaneWatch may not provide the intended display of 
traffic to the side and rear under the following conditions:•Your vehicle’s suspension has been altered, 
changing the height of the vehicle.•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or construction.

WARNING
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 LaneWatch while 
driving.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side 
of your vehicle, and behind you for other 
vehicles before changing lanes.

Handling the Unexpected
If a Tire Goes FlatChanging a Flat TireIf a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually 
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with a compact 
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or 
replaced.
1.Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking 
brake.
2.Move the shift lever to 
(P.
3.Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK 
(0*1.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
1Changing a Flat Tire
Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact 
spare. It should be set to the specified pressure. 
Specified Pressure: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm
2)
When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the 
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with 
a full-size tire as soon as possible.
The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are 
specifically for this model.
Do not use them with another vehicle.
Do not use another type of compact spare tire or 
wheel with your vehicle.
Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire. 
If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of 
the full-size rear tires and replace it with the compact 
spare tire. Remove the flat front tire and replace it 
with the full-size tire that was removed from the rear. 
Mount the tire chains on the front tire.
Do not use a puncture-repairing agent on a flat tire, 
as it can damage the tire pressure sensor.
