RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
Seat Belts
SBA (Seat Belt Alert) System
Head Restraints
Child Restraint Systems
Front Air Bags And Side Air Bags
Read the information given in the
following pages with the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers. SEAT BELT
SYSTEMS Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and could cause a collision that
includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury caused
by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.

SAFETY

RADAR SENSORS —
IF EQUIPPED Rear Radar Sensors
The following systems use the rear
radar sensors:
Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors function by detecting
the radio waves reflected off of a vehicle
approaching from the rear, or an
obstruction, sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensors are installed inside
the rear bumper, one each on the left
and right sides.
Always keep the surface of the rear
bumper near the radar sensors clean so
that the radar sensors operate normally.
Also, do not apply items such as
stickers. Caution!If the rear bumper receives a severe
impact, the system may no longer operate
normally. Stop the system immediately and
contact an authorized dealer.
The detection ability of the radar
sensors has limitations. In the following
cases, the detection ability may be
decreased, and the system may not
operate normally:
The rear bumper near the radar
sensors has been damaged.
Snow, ice or mud has adhered to the
radar sensors on the rear bumper.
Operating in weather conditions such
as rain, snow and fog.
Note: Under the following conditions,
the radar sensors cannot detect objects
or it may be difficult to detect them:
Stationary objects on a road or a
road side such as small, two-wheeled
vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians,
animals, and shopping carts.
Vehicle shapes which do not reflect
radar waves well such as empty trailers
with a low vehicle height and sports
cars. Vehicles are shipped with the direction
of the radar sensors adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so
that the radar sensors detect
approaching vehicles correctly. If the
direction of the radar sensors has
changed, contact an authorized dealer.
The radar sensors are regulated by the
relevant radio wave laws of the country
in which the vehicle is driven. If the
vehicle is driven abroad, authorization
from the country in which the vehicle is
driven may be required.
Note:
For repairs or replacement of the
radar sensors, bumper repairs, paint
work, or replacement near the radar
sensors, consult an authorized dealer.
Turn off the radar system when
pulling a trailer or while an accessory,
such as a bicycle carrier, is installed to
the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the
radio waves emitted by the radar will
be blocked causing the system to not
operate normally.07080915112112

STARTING AND OPERATING

REAR PARK ASSIST
— IF EQUIPPED Rear Park Assist
Warning!Do not rely completely on the parking
sensor system and be sure to confirm 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 confirm the safety around your
vehicle visually when driving.
Parking and other potentially dangerous
maneuvers are, however, always the
driver’s responsibility. When performing
these operations, always make sure that
there are no other people (especially
children) or animals on the route you want
to drive into. The parking sensors are an
aid for the driver, but the driver must never
allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous maneuvers, even
those executed at low speeds. The Rear Park Assist System uses four
ultrasonic sensors (two rear sensors
and two rear corner sensors) to detect
obstructions around the vehicle while
parking the vehicle in a garage or
during parallel parking when the gear
selector is in REVERSE.
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
audible alert.
Note:
Do not install any accessories within
the detection ranges of the sensors. It
may affect the system operation.
Depending on the type of
obstruction and the surrounding
conditions, the detection range of a
sensor may narrow, or the sensors
may not be able to detect
obstructions. The system may not operate
normally under the following
conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow adhered to the
sensor area (operation will return to
normal when removed).
The sensor area is frozen (operation
will return to normal when the ice is
thawed).
The sensor is covered by a hand or
excessive force has been applied to
the bumper.
The vehicle is on a steep incline.
Under extremely hot or cold
weather conditions.
The vehicle is driven on bumps,
inclines, gravel, or grass covered
roads.
Anything which generates
ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as
another vehicle's horn, the engine
sound of a motorcycle, the air brakes
of a large-sized vehicle, or another
vehicle's sensors.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or
in road conditions causing water
splash.
A antenna for a radio transmitter is
installed to the vehicle. 05200100-121-001AB

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS Control
The Hazard Warning Lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.
The Hazard Warning Light switch is
located on the center instrument panel
below the radio. Push the switch to turn
theHazardWarningLightsonoroff.
Note: The Hazard Warning Lights warn
other drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take extreme
caution when near it. When the switch is pushed, the Hazard
Warning Lights are active and all
directional turn signals will flash on and
off to warn oncoming traffic of an
emergency. Push the switch a second
time to turn off the Hazard Warning
Lights. The hazard warning indicator
lights in the instrument cluster will flash
simultaneously.
Note:
The turn signals do not work while
the Hazard Warning Lights are
activated.
Check local regulations about the
use of Hazard Warning Lights while the
vehicle is being towed to verify that it is
not in violation of the law.
If the brake pedal is pressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all of the directional
turn signals to flash.
While the emergency stop signal
system is operating, all of the
directional turn signals automatically
flash rapidly to caution the driver of a
vehicle following behind of a sudden
braking situation. REPLACING A BULB General Instructions
Warning! Before proceeding with the replacement
of the lamp wait for the exhaust pipes are
cool: DANGER OF BURNS!
Modifications or repair of the electrical
system performed incorrectly and without
taking into account the technical
characteristics can cause malfunctions with
the risk of fire.
Halogen lamps contain gas under
pressure, in the event of breakage be
careful of the projection of fragments of
glass.
Halogen lamps must be handled by
touching only the metallic part. If the
transparent bulb is in contact with the
fingers, reduces the intensity of the emitted
light and you can also affect the life of the
lamp. In case of accidental contact, rub the
bulb with a cloth dampened with alcohol
and allow to dry.05031100-L12-001AB

INDEX

INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING
EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this
vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio
frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone
equipment must be installed properly by trained person-
nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly
to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.
The negative power connection should be made to body
sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.
This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the
roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used
in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may
affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on
vehicles so equipped.
The antenna cable should be as short as practical and
routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use
only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to
ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than
normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interfer-
ence between the communications equipment and the
vehicle’s electronic systems.
