WARNING
●The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat with both feet on the floor. The
side air bag and curtain air bag inflate
with great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the
side air bag on the side of the seatback
of the front seat or near the side roof
rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in the
front seats or rear outboard seats to
extend their hand out of the window or
lean against the door. Some examples
of dangerous riding positions are
shown in the previous illustrations.

The ignition switch can only be locked in this
position.
The ignition switch will be unlocked when it is
pushed to the ACC position while carrying the
Intelligent Key.
The ignition switch will lock when any door is
opened or closed with the ignition switched off.
ACC (Accessories)
This position activates electrical accessories,
such as the radio, when the engine is not running. ACC has a battery saver feature that will turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position after a period
of time under the following conditions:
● all doors are closed.
● shift lever is in P (Park) .
● hazard lamps are off.
● turn signals are off.
The battery saver feature will be cancelled if any
of the following occur: ● any door is opened.
● shift lever is moved out of P (Park) .
● ignition switch changes position.
● hazard lamps are turned on.
ON (Normal operating position)
This position turns on the ignition system and
electrical accessories.
ON has a battery saver feature that will turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, if the vehicle
is not running, after some time under the follow-
ing conditions: ● all doors are closed.
● shift lever is in P (Park) .
● hazard lamps are off. ●
turn signals are off.

●The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects, however
objects such as guardrails, walls, foli-
age and parked vehicles may occasion-
ally be detected. The system malfunc-
tion warning message with the blind
spot indicator (orange) will appear in
the vehicle information display. This is a
normal driving condition.
● Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
BSW DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection
zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is
beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your
vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes.

ing lot aisle.
– Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small
● The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build up on the vehicle
– Frost build up on the vehicle
– Dirt build up on the vehicle
● Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles
● Do not use the RCTA systems when
towing a trailer. ●
Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) and the BSW indicator light on the side the
vehicle is approaching from flashes.
NOTE:● In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the RCTA system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.
