4-1. Before driving
CAUTION
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or
depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine
overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area,
exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious
health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side
of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may
not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
●The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems
fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual and the braking di stance will increase. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck (AWD models)
Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehi-
cle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel
the vehicle forward or backward, causing an accident.

■Temporary cancelation of the LKA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LKA system functions will be temporarily canceled.
The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions have returned.
●The steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to cause the vehicle to change
lanes.
●When the system detects no-handed driving. (The lane keeping assist function will
be temporarily canceled, but the lane departure warning function will continue.)
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LKA system functions.
(The buzzer will beep twice when the lane keeping assist function is being can-
celed.)
●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving. (The buzzer will beep
twice when the lane keeping assist function is being canceled.)
●The wiper switch is set on high speed mode or is set on AUTO mode with wipers
operating at high speed. (The lane keeping assist function will be temporarily can-
celed, but the lane departure warning function will continue.)
●If the vehicle crosses a line for approximately half a minute or more. (The lane keep-
ing assist function will be temporarily canceled, but the lane departure warning
function will continue.)
●When the lane departure warning function is activated.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several seconds
after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■The lane departure warning
It may be difficult to feel the sensory warning depending on the road conditions.
■No-handed driving warning
If the steering wheel is not operated for approximately 15 seconds on a straight road
or approximately 5 seconds on a curve, the buzzer will beep twice, indicators on the
multi-information display will flash, and the lane keeping assist function will be tem-
porarily canceled. If you drive the vehicle with your hands lightly touching the steer-
ing wheel, this may also be detected as no-handed driving.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LKA system functions may not be available and a warning message ( P. 4 9 1 )
will be displayed for a while after driving ha s started. In such cases, turn the LKA sys-
tem off and turn it on again after normal temperature returns. When the temperature
in the cabin decreases and the temperature around the camera sensor ( P. 2 3 4 )
becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.

stoplight turn on.
●Hill-start assist control operates for about 2 seconds after the brake pedal is
released.
●If the slip indicator does not flash and the buzzer does not sound when the brake
pedal is further depressed, slightly reduce the pressure on the brake pedal (do not
allow the vehicle to roll backward) and then firmly depress it again. If the system still
does not operate, check that the operating conditions explained above have been
met.
