CAUTION
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor function is a supplementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on
the Blind Spot Monitor function. The function cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, therefore over reliance could cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
● The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function is only an assist and is not a replace-
ment for careful driving. Driver must be careful when backing up, even
when using Rear Cross Traffic Alert function. The driver’s own visual con-
firmation of behind you and your vehicle is necessary and be sure there
are no pedestrians, other vehicles etc. before backing up. Failure to do\
so
could cause death or serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
