•The system may not work prop-
erly  when  the  bumper  has  been
damaged, or  if  the  rear  bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
•The sensing range differs some-
what  according  to  the  width  of
the  road. When  the  road  is  nar-
row, the  system  may  detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
•The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
-The outside rearview mirror hous-
ing is damaged.
-The mirror is covered with dirt,
snow, or debris.
-The window is covered with dirt,
snow, or debris.
-The window is tinted.
Limitations of the system
The  driver  must  be  cautious  in  the
below  situations,  because  the  sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
- The  vehicle  drives  on  a  winding
road or through a tollgate.
- The  sensor  is  polluted  with  rain,
snow, mud, etc.
- The rear bumper where the sensor
is  located  is  covered  with  a  foreign
object  such  as  a  bumper  sticker,  a
bumper guard, a bike stand, etc.
- The  rear  bumper  is  damaged,  or
the  sensor  is  out  of  the  original
default position.
- The  vehicle  height  gets  lower  or
higher  due  to  heavy  loading  in  a
boot, abnormal tyre pressure, etc.
- The  vehicle  drives  in  inclement
weather  such  as  heavy  rain  or
snow.
- There  is  a  fixed  object  near  the
vehicle,  such  as  a  guardrail.
- A big vehicle is near such as a bus
or truck.

Wheel replacement 
When replacing the metal wheels for
any  reason,  make  sure  the  new
wheels  are  equivalent  to  the  original
factor y  units  in  diameter,  rim  width
and offset.
Ty r e   t r a c t i o n
Ty r e   t r a c t i o n   c a n   b e   r e d u c e d   i f   y o u
drive  on  worn  tyres,  tyres  that  are
improperly  inflated  or  on  slippery
road  surfaces. Tyres  should  be
replaced  when  tread  wear  indicators
appear. To  reduce  the  possibility  of
losing  control,  slow  down  whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Ty r e   m a i n t e n a n c e  
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel  alignment  helps  to  decrease
tyre  wear. If  you  find  a  tyre  is  worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When  you  have  new  tyres  installed,
make  sure  they  are  balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tyre  life. Additionally,  a  tyre  should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Ty r e   s i d ew a l l   l a b e l l i n g
This  information  identifies  and
describes  the  fundamental  charac-
teristics of the tyre and also provides
the  tyre  identification  number  (TIN)
for  safety  standard  cer tification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tyre in
case of a recall.

A  wheel  that  is  not  the  correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and  bearing  life, braking  and
stopping  abilities, handling
characteristics, ground  clear-
ance, body-to-tyre  clearance,
snow  chain  clearance,
speedometer and odometer cal-
ibration, headlamp  aim  and

2. Tyre size designation  
A tyre’s sidewall is marked with a tyre
size  designation. You  will  need  this
information  when  selecting  replace-
ment  tyres  for  your  vehicle. The  fol-
lowing  explains  what  the  letters  and
numbers  in  the  tyre  size  designation
mean.
Example tyre size designation:
(These  numbers  are  provided  as  an
example only; your tyre size designa-
tor  could  vary  depending  on  your
vehicle.)
205/65R16 95H
205 - Tyre width in millimetres.
65 - Aspect  ratio. The  tyre’s  section
height  as  a  percentage  of  its
width.
R - Tyre construction code (Radial).
16 - Rim diameter in inches.
95 - Load  Index,  a  numerical  code
associated  with  the  maximum
load the tyre can carry.
H - Speed  Rating  Symbol. See  the
speed rating chart in this section
for  additional  infor mation.
Wheel size designation  
Wheels  are  also  marked  with  impor-
tant  information  that  you  need  if  you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing  explains  what  the  letters  and
numbers  in  the  wheel  size  designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
6.5JX16
6.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
16 - Rim diameter in inches.

4. Tyre ply composition and
material
The number of layers or plies of rub-
ber-coated fabric are in the tyre. Tyre
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials  in  the  tyre,  which  include
steel,  nylon,  polyester,  and  others.
The  letter  "R"  means  radial  ply  con-
struction; the letter "D" means diago-
nal  or  bias  ply  construction; and  the
letter  "B"  means  restrained-bias  ply
construction.
5. Maximum permissible infla-
tion pressure
This  number  is  the  greatest  amountof  air  pressure  that  should  be  put  inthe tyre. Do not exceed the maximumpermissible inflation pressure. Referto  the  Tyre  and  Loading  Informationlabel  for  recommended  inflationpressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This  number  indicates  the  maximum
load  in  kilograms  and  pounds  that
can  be  carried  by  the  tyre. When
replacing  the  tyres  on  the  vehicle,
always use a tyre that has the same
load  rating  as  the  factory  installed
tyre.
7. Uniform tyre quality grading 
Quality  grades  can  be  found  where
applicable  on  the  tyre  sidewall
between  tread  shoulder  and  maxi-
mum section width.
For  example:
TREADWEAR 200 
TRACTION AA 
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The  tread  wear  grade  is  a  compara-
tive  rating  based  on  the  wear  rate  of
the tyre when tested under controlled
conditions  on  a  specified  govern-
ment test course. For example, a tyre
graded  150  would  wear  one-and-a-
half  times  (1½)  as  well  on  the  gov-
ernment  course  as  a  tyre  graded
100.
The  relative  performance  of  tyres
depends  upon  the  actual  conditions
of  their  use,  however,  and  may
depart  significantly  from  the  norm
because  of  variations  in  driving
habits,  service  practices  and  differ-
ences in road characteristics and cli-
mate.
These  grades  are  molded  on  the
side-walls  of  passenger  vehicle
tyres. The tyres available as standard
or  optional  equipment  on  your  vehi-
cles may vary with respect to grade.
