Automatic transaxle operation
The highly efficient automatic
transaxle has 6 forward speeds and
one reverse speed. The individual
speeds are selected automatically,
depending on the position of the shift
lever.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in Drive, depending on
the position of the accelerator pedal.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The first few shifts on a new vehicle
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a
normal condition, and the shifting
sequence will adjust after shifts are
cycled a few times by the PCM
(Powertrain Control Module).

Limitation of the system
The AEB monitors driving conditions
through the radar and the camera
sensor. For any vehicle activity
occurring outside the sensor's range
and field of view, the AEB may not be
able to react. The driver should exer-
cise caution in the following situa-
tions, as the AEB operation may be
limited:
Recognizing vehicles
- The radar or the camera isobscured by foreign substances.
- In heavy rain or snow
- There is electromagnetic interfer- ence.
- The object in front deflects the radar beam due to extreme angles
or an extremely irregular surface.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The sysem cannot identify objects in front due to driving into the at
dusk/dawn, bright reflections, or
darkness. - The camera cannot fit the full out-
line of a vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front has cargo extending beyond the back of the
vehicle or has a high ground clear-
ance.
- The vehicle in front does not turn ON the rear lights, does not have
rear lights, has asymmetric rear
lights, or has rear lights out of
angle.
- The outside brightness changes suddently, such as entering/exiting
a tunnel.
- Vehicle driving is erratic.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited. - Driving on a curve
The AEB performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The AEB
may not recognize vehicles in front
that are in the same lane. It may
unnecessarily produce the warning
message and the warning alarm for
vehicles in a different lane, or it may
not produce the warning message
and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, exercise
caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal.

NOTICE
• The system may not properly
operate, when the bumper is
replaced, or when a repair work is
done near the sensor.
• The sensing range differs accord- ing to the roads width. When the
road is narrow, the system may
detect other vehicles in the next
lane.
• The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
Side view mirror may not alert the
driver when:
- The side view mirror housing is
damaged or covered with debris.
- The window is covered with debris.
- The windows are severely tinted.
DRIVER'S ATTENTION
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the system
may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
- The vehicle drives on a curved road or through a tollgate.
- The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
- The rear bumper, in which the sen- sor is located, is covered or blocked
with a foreign matter such as a
sticker, a bumper guard, a bicycle
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
trunk, abnormal tire pressure, etc.
- The vehicle drives in a bad weath- er such as heavy rain or snow. (Continued)(Continued)
The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes or back-
ing the vehicles up. The Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.

(Continued)
- There is a fixed object near thevehicle, such as a guardrail.
- A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
- A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
- A flat trailer is near.
- If the vehicle has started at the same time as the vehicle next to
you and has accelerated.
- When the other vehicle passes at a very fast speed.
- While changing lanes.
- While going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.
- When the other vehicle approaches very close.
- When a trailer or carrier is installed.
- When the temperature of the rear bumper is high. (Continued)(Continued)
- When the sensors are blocked by
other vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars.
- When the detected vehicle also moves back, as your vehicle drives
back.
- If there are small things like shop- ping cart and baby carriage.
- If there is low height vehicle like sport vehicle.
- When other vehicles are close to your vehicle.
- When the vehicle in the next lane moves two lanes away from you
OR when the vehicle two lanes
away moves to the next lane from
you.
- When driving through a narrow road with many trees or bushes.This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and
