When Driving
Brake
WARNING
Do not rely completely on Hill Launch
Assist (HLA): Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary
device for accelerating from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates
for about two seconds and therefore,
relying only on the system, when
accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll)
unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on
the vehicle's load or if it is towing
something. In addition, for vehicles
with a manual transaxle, the vehicle
could still roll depending on how the
clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is
operated.
Always confi rm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.
NOTE
 y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate on a gentle slope. In addition,
the gradient of the slope on which the
system will operate changes depending
on the vehicle's load.
 y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate if the parking brake is applied,
the vehicle has not stopped completely,
or the clutch pedal is released.
 y While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is
operating, the brake pedal may feel
stiff and vibrate, however, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
 y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate while the TCS/DSC indicator
light is illuminated.
 Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-20 .
 y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
turn off even if the DSC OFF switch is
pressed to turn off the TCS/DSC.

When Driving
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System *
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the drive\
r by monitoring
blind spots on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in certain situatio\
ns such as when
changing lanes on roads and freeways or reversing the vehicle from a par\
king garage.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System consists of the Blind Spot Moni\
toring (BSM)
and Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA).
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system. Always look over
your shoulder before changing lanes or reversing the vehicle from a parking garage:
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system can assist the driver in confi rming the safety of
the surroundings but is not a complete substitute. The driver is responsible for assuring
lane changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling and the vehicle's surroundings.
NOTE
 y The detectability of the radar sensors has its limitations. The Blind Sp\
ot Monitoring
(BSM) System may not operate properly under the following conditions:
 y Ice, snow, or soil adheres to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors. y During adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow, or under conditions where
water is sprayed.
 y The rear bumper area around the radar sensors is blocked by foreign material (such as
stickers or a bicycle carrier).
 y The radar sensors do not detect human, animal, shopping cart, bicycle, o\
r static objects
such as fences.
 y The radar sensors may not detect all types of vehicles around your vehicle, especially the
following types of vehicles:
 y Motorcycles y Vehicles with body shapes that radar may not refl ect such as a fl atbed trailer with no
cargo.
 y Vehicles with lower body height such as sports cars.
 y Although the system may detect objects on the road side such as parked vehicles or
guardrails and operate the warning light/beep, it does not indicate a malfun\
ction.
 y If the vehicle is driven on a road with less traffi c and few vehicles that the radar sensors
can detect, the system may pause (the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF\
indicator light
in the instrument cluster fl ashes). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.
