The BCI system uses radar sensors*1
installed on both sides near the rear
bumper to detect an approaching vehicles
and sonar sensors
*2to detect objects in
the rear.
The radar sensors
*1detect the approach-
ing vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft
(15 m) away. The sonar sensors
*2detect
a rear obstacle at up to approximately 4.9
ft (1.5 m) from the bumper. Refer to the
illustration for approximate zone coverage
areas
*3.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
objects in the rear, the system gives visual and audible warnings, and applies the
brake for a moment when the vehicle is
moving backwards. After the automatic
brake application, the driver must depress
the brake pedal to maintain brake pres-
sure. If the driver’s foot is on the accel-
erator pedal, the system pushes the
accelerator upward before applying the
brake. If you continue to press the accel-
erator, the system will not engage the
brake.
WARNING
.
The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not
designed to prevent contact with vehi-
cles or objects. When backing out of
parking space, always use the inside
and outside rearview mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will move.
Never rely solely on the BCI system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Using the BCI system under some road,
ground, lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper sys-
tem operation. Always rely on your own operation to avoid accidents.

NOTE:
.In the case of several vehicles ap-
proaching in a row or from the opposite
direction, a chime may not be output to
the BCI system after the first vehicle
passes the sensors.
. When the parking sensor of the Around
View Monitor sounds a tone, the BCI
system does not chime a sound (single
beep).
If the detected vehicle approaches closer
and your vehicle is backing up toward the
detected vehicle, the system chimes a
sound (three times) and a red rectangular
frame
*Aappears on the center display.
The system applies the brake for a
moment. After the automatic brake appli-
cation, the driver must depress the brake
pedal to maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system pushes the accelerator
pedal upward before applying the brake. If
you continue to press the accelerator
pedal, the system will not engage the
brake. A close object behind the vehicle:
If the sonar detects a close object behind
the vehicle when your vehicle is backing
up, the system chimes a sound (three
times) and a red rectangular frame

applies the brake for a moment. After the
automatic brake application, the driver
must depress the brake pedal to maintain
brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system pushes the accelerator
pedal upward before applying the brake. If
you continue to press the accelerator
pedal, the system will not engage the

.The brake engagement by the BCI
system is not as effective on a slope as
it is on flat ground. When on a steep
slope the system may not function
properly.
. Do not use the BCI systems under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.
—When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (for
example, tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire chains,
non-standard wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
—When towing a trailer.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accel-
erator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
MAIN switch on. The CRUISE indicator will
come on.
To set cruising speed, accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch and release it. Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle
will maintain the set speed.
.
To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release
the pedal, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
happens, drive without the cruise con-
trol.
To cancel the preset speed, follow any of
these methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
3. Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.
4. Turn the MAIN switch off. The CRUISE indicator light will turn off.
. If you depress the brake pedal while
pushing the ACCELERATE/RESUME or
COAST/SET switch and reset at the
cruising speed, the cruise control will
disengage. Turn the MAIN switch off
once and then turn it on again.
. The cruise control will automatically
cancel if the vehicle slows more than
8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed. .
If you move the shift lever to N (Neutral)
position, the cruise control will be
canceled.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the COAST/SET
switch.
. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RE-
SUME switch. When the vehicle attains
the speed you desire, release the
switch.
. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL-
ERATE/RESUME switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the COAST/SET switch and release it.
. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle
slows down to the desired speed.

PRECAUTIONS ON VEHICLE-TO-VE-
HICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.
If the distance sensor
*Adetects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed so that your
vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
25% of vehicle braking power) if neces- sary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
WARNING
.
This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’ s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
. The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the
system in city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt automatically
to road conditions. This system should
be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not
use the system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy rain or
in fog.
The distance sensor will not detect the
following objects:
.Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway .
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel
lane
WARNING
. As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) system. This system does not
correct careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome poor visi-
bility in rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Decelerate the vehicle speed by depres-
sing the brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order to
maintain a safe distance between vehi-
cles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
. The system may not function properly
