WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BCI system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure, is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects and does not provide full
brake power. When backing out of park-
ing space, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direc-
tion you will move. Never rely solely on
the BCI system. ●
There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Us-
ing the BCI systems under some road,
ground, lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper sys-
tem operation. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BCI systems can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle or objects behind the ve-
hicle when the driver is backing out of a parking
space.
When the shift position is R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h), the BCI system operates. The BCI system uses radar sensors
1installed
on both sides near the rear bumper to detect an
approaching vehicle and sonar sensors to detect
objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approximately
4.9 ft (1.5 m)

BACK-UP COLLISION INTERVENTION
(BCI) (if so equipped)
5-58Starting and driving

If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side or the sonar detects close stationary
objects behind the vehicle, the system gives vi-
sual and audible warnings. If the driver does not
apply the brakes, the system automatically ap-
plies the brake for a moment when the vehicle is
moving backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the brake
pedal to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system
pushes the accelerator upward before applying
the brake. If you continue to press the accelera-
tor, the system will not engage the brake.

●The sonar system chime indicating there is
an object behind the vehicle has a higher
priority than the BCI chime (single beep)
indicating an approaching vehicle. If the so-
nar system detects an object behind the
vehicle and the BCI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time the fol-
lowing indicators are provided:
– The sonar system chime sounds
– The Blind Spot Warning indicator light on the side of the approaching vehicle
flashes and – A yellow rectangular frame appears in
display
If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is backing
up, a red frame will appear in the display
Aand
the system will chime three times. Then, the
brakes will be applied momentarily. After the au-
tomatic brake application, the driver must de-
press the brake pedal to maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the
system moves the accelerator pedal upward be-
fore the braking is applied. However, if you con-
tinue to accelerate, the system will not engage
the brakes.
The system does not operate if the object is very
close to the bumper.

– Illustration d: When an approaching vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small.
● The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build up on the vehicle
● Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
● The sonar sensors detect stationary ob-
jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sen-
sor may not detect:
– Small or moving objects
– Wedge-shaped objects – Object close to the bumper (less than
approximately 1 ft (30 cm))
– Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
● The brake engagement by the BCI sys-
tem is not as effective on a slope as it is
on flat ground. When on a steep slope
the system may not function properly.
● Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
● Do not use the BCI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE
If the following messages appear on the vehicle
information display, a chime will sound and the
BCI system will be turned off automatically.
● “Unavailable High Accelerator Temp.”:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over ap-
proximately 104°F (40°C)) and then started,
the BCI system may be deactivated auto-
matically and the “Unavailable High Accel-
erator Temp” message will appear in the
vehicle information display for a period of
time.
When the interior temperature is reduced,
turn off the BCI system and turn it on again.
● “Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected.
When the blockage is removed, turn off the
BCI system and turn it on again.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
ON/OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator light
in the vehicle information display will illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch
and release it. The SET indicator light in the
vehicle information display will illuminate. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle
maintains the set speed.
● To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.
● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods:
● Push the CANCEL switch; the SET indicator
light in the vehicle information display goes
out.
● Tap the brake pedal; the SET indicator light
goes out. ●
Push the ON/OFF switch off. Both the
CRUISE indicator light and SET indicator
light in the vehicle information display go out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled and
the SET light in the vehicle information display
goes out if: ● You depress the brake pedal while pushing
the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST switch.
The preset speed is deleted from memory.
● The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph
(13 km/h) below the set speed.
● You move the shift lever to N (Neutral) .
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods:
● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
● Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch.
When the vehicle attains the speed you de-
sire, release the switch.
● Push and release the ACCEL/RES switch.
Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use one
of the following three methods:
● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.
● Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Re-
lease the switch when the vehicle slows to
the desired speed.
● Push and release the COAST/SET switch.
Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle re-
turns to the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
