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
  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.
  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.
  While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is
operating, the brake pedal may feel
stiff and vibrate, however, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
  Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate while the TCS/DSC indicator
light is illuminated.
 Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on
page 4-36 .
  Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
turn off even if the TCS OFF switch
is pressed to turn off the TCS.
  (Automatic Transaxle)  Although the Hill Launch Assist
(HLA) does not operate during idling
stop, the vehicle roll prevention
function operates to prevent vehicle
roll.

i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE *
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver support
systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors. These
systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on the
driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each system
has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely solely on the systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognise potential
hazards and avert accidents.

Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) *
The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) system is designed to assist the driver in checking the
area to the rear of the vehicle on both sides while the vehicle is reversing by alerting the
driver to the presence of vehicles approaching the rear of the vehicle.
The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) system detects vehicles approaching from the left and
right sides of the vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed out of a parking space, and
notifi es the driver of possible danger using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights
and the warning buzzer.
Detection areas
Your vehicle
Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) operation
1. The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) system operates when the shift lever (manual
transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle, the Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light fl ashes and the warning beep is activated
simultaneously.

When Driving
Parking Sensor System
Parking Sensor System *
The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle
while parking the vehicle in a garage or during parallel parking when the shift lever is
in reverse (R). The system is equipped with an assist device to notify the driver of the
approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction using a beep sound.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to confi rm the safety
around your vehicle visually when driving.
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and backward
directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited, therefore,
driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an accident. Always
confi rm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.

If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
CAUTION
  Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or fl atbed
equipment.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed with
all four wheels on the ground using the
towing hook at the front of the vehicle.
Only tow the vehicle on paved surfaces for
short distances at low speeds.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
1. Shift to neutral (Manual transaxle), or
the N position (Automatic transaxle).
2. Switch the ignition to ACC.
3. Release the parking brake.
Remember that power assist for the
brakes and steering will not be available
when the engine is not running.
Towing/Tiedown Hooks
CAUTION
  The towing eyelet should be used
in an emergency (to get the vehicle
out of a ditch or a snow bank, for
example).
  When using the towing eyelets,
always pull the lead or chain in a
straight direction with respect to the
eyelet. Never apply a sideways force.
NOTE
When towing with chain or lead, wrap
the chain or lead with a soft cloth near
the bumper to prevent damage to the
bumper.
