Controls
Rear Seats
1. Remove the center shoulder belt from the 
guide.
2. Pull the release lever in  the trunk to release 
the lock.
3. Fold the seat-back down.
If the rear head restraints get caught on the 
front seat-backs, remove the head restraints.
2 Removing and Reinstalling the Head 
Restraints  P. 165
■Folding Down the Rear Seat1Folding Down the Rear Seat
The rear seat-back can be folded down to 
accommodate bulkier  items in the trunk.
Never drive with the seat-back folded down and the 
trunk lid open. 2 Exhaust Gas Hazard  P. 66
To lock a seat-back upright,  push it backwards until it 
locks.
When returning the seat-back  to its original position, 
push it firmly back. Also, m ake sure all rear shoulder 
belts are positioned in front  of the seat-back, and the 
center shoulder belt is re -positioned in the guide.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press 
against the front passenger se at, as this can cause the 
weight sensors in the front  passenger seat to work 
improperly.
2 Passenger Airbag Off Indicator  P. 52
Make sure all items in the trunk or items 
extending through the opening into the rear 
seat is properly secured. Loose items can fly 
forward if you have to brake hard.
The front seat(s) must be  far enough forward so they 
do not interfere with the rear seats as they fold 
down.

Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following-interval behind a vehicle 
detected ahead of yours, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the 
accelerator.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Use the 
brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a 
safe distance between your vehicle and other 
vehicles.
Be careful not to have the  radar sensor cover strongly 
impacted.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open 
highways in good weather.
3WARNING
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle  speed drops below 
22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will 
automatically cancel  and no longer will 
apply your ve hicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake 
pedal when conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for adaptive cruise con trol:  Desired speed in a range above 
roughly 25 mph (40 km/h) ~
■Shift position for ACC: In ( D or (S. The radar sensor is 
at the lower part of 
the front bumper.
The camera is 
located behind 
the rearview 
mirror.

Driving
The system may automatically shut off and the  ACC indicator will come on under 
certain conditions. Some examples of th ese conditions are listed below. Other 
conditions may reduce some of the ACC functions.
2 Front Sensor Camera* P. 445
■Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
■Roadway conditions
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obs cured lane marking, vehicle tracks, 
reflected lights, road  spray, high contrast).
■Vehicle conditions
• The outside of the windshie ld is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (Wrong sized, varied size or construction, 
improperly inflated, comp act spare tire, etc.).
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The parking brake is applied.
• When the radar sensor cover is dirty.
• When the front of the vehicle tilts up due to  heavy cargo in the trunk or rear seats.
• When tire chains are installed.
■ACC Conditions and Limitations1ACC Conditions and Limitations
The radar sensor for ACC is shared with the collision 
mitigation braking system
TM (CMBSTM).
2 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM 
(CMBSTM)* P. 483
Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor cover or 
replace the radar sensor cover.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any 
unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning 
message appears too frequently).
If the front of the vehicle is impacted in any of the 
following situations, the ra dar sensor may not work 
properly. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer:
•The vehicle mounted onto a bump, curb, chock, 
embankment, etc.
•You drive the vehicle where the water is deep.•Your vehicle has a frontal collision.
You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera

■Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a me ssage appears on the multi-information display when 
ACC is automatically canceled. Any of  these conditions may cause the ACC to 
automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain,  fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor at the lower  part of the front bumper gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of you cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS, VSA ® or CMBS
TM is activated.
• When the ABS or VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the  ACC range is too close to your vehicle.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including 
the windshield, gets dirty.
1Automatic cancellation
Even though ACC has been automatically canceled, 
you can still resume the prio r set speed. Wait until the 
condition that caused ACC to cancel improves, then 
press the  RES/+ button.
