When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Smart Brake Support (SBS) *
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible collision using
an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven at
about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the system's radar sensor (front) determines
that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) determines
that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes operate more quickly to
assist the driver (vehicles with brake fl uid pre-fi ll).
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive
carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision,
not avoid an accident. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the
obstruction, weather conditions, or traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in an accident. Always verify the
safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Smart Brake Support (SBS)
system off to prevent a mistaken operation.

Interior Features
Audio System
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be refl ected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the refl ected signal
at the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. This problem
may also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.
Reflected wave
Direct
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterized by sound breakup.
Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.
Station 2
88.3 MHz Station 1
88.1 MHz

Skipping Voice Guidance (for faster
operation)
Press and release the talk-button.
NOTE
 


y The Bluetooth ® Hands-Free system
is operable several seconds after the
ignition is switched to ACC or ON
(requires less than 15 seconds).
 


y When operating the audio unit or the
A/C while using Bluetooth ® Hands-
Free, the beep sounds or voice guidance
(audio unit)/cannot be heard.
Tutorial
The tutorial explains how to use
Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.
To activate the tutorial, do the following:
1. Press the pick-up button or talk button
with a short press.
2. Say: [Beep] “Tutorial”
3. Follow the prompts to receive the
appropriate voice guidance instructions.
Commands useable anytime during
voice recognition
“Help” or “Go Back” are commands
which can be used at anytime during voice
recognition.
Help function use
The help function informs the user of all
the available voice commands under the
current conditions.
1. Say: [Beep] “Help”
2. Follow the prompts to receive the
appropriate voice guidance instructions.
Returning to previous operation
This command is for returning to the
previous operation while in the voice
recognition mode.
Say: [Beep] “Go Back”
To prevent a deterioration in the voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points should be observed:
 




yThe voice recognition cannot be
performed while voice guidance or
the beep sound is operating. Wait
until the voice guidance or the beep
sound is fi nished before saying your
commands.
 


y Dialects or different wording other
than hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording specifi ed by the voice
commands.
 


y It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.
 


y Do not speak too slow or too loud.



y Speak clearly, without pausing between
words or numbers.
 


y Close the windows and/or the moonroof
to reduce loud noises from outside
the vehicle, or turn down the airfl ow
of the air-conditioning system while
Bluetooth
® Hands-Free is being used. 


y Make sure the vents are not directing air
up towards the microphone.
NOTE
If the voice recognition performance is not
satisfactory.
