Air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not be able
to provide any additional benefit. Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction ofthe collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-pant protection.
However, if equipped with side and curtain air bags, the air bags
may inflate depending on the inten-
sity, vehicle speed and angles ofimpact. In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any addition-
al benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.

Safety features of your vehicle
Just before impact, drivers oftenbrake heavily Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
replaced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Air bags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because the vehicle can
not detect rollover accident.
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle
is rolled over following (or after)side impact collision. Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as util-
ity poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.

Features of your vehicle
Vehicles equipped with a theft alarm
system will have a label attached to
the vehicle with the following words:
1. WARNING
2. SECURITY SYSTEMThis system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorised entry
into the vehicle, movement inside the
vehicle (if equipped), and leaning to
one side (if equipped). This system is
operated in three stages: the first is
the "Armed" stage, the second is the
"Theft-alarm" stage, and the third is
the "Disarmed" stage. If triggered,
the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard
warning lights.Armed stage

Do not arm the system until all
passengers have left the vehicle. Ifthe system is armed whilst a pas-
senger(s) remains in the vehicle,
the alarm may be activated when
the passenger(s) moves in the
vehicle.Intrusion/Tilt sensor ON/OFF con-
dition
To cancel the sensor operation, press the sensor ON/OFF button
when the system in the "Disarmed"stage and the ignition is OFF posi-tion. The button light will turn on to indi-
cate that the sensor is deactivated.
After pressing the button, if the sys-
tem is not armed within 5 minutes,
the sensor will be activated again.
If the system is armed when the
sensor is in the OFF status, the
intrusion/tilt sensor will not operate
even though the button light is
turned off. Then, the alarm will be
deactivated when the system
meets the intrusion/tilt sensor off

✽✽NOTICE
 Do not activate the sensor if there are any chances the vehicle tilts by
the outward influences (for exam-
ple, ferry boat travelling, tower
parking etc.), because it could cause
the siren to sound inadvertently.
 Make sure all windows are close whilst the system operates. If not,
the sensor detects the inadvertent
movement inside the vehicle (for
example, blowing a wind or enter-
ing a butterfly) and it makes the
siren sounds.
 If boxes are piled high in the vehi- cle, the sensor may not detect the
movement behind the boxes. Also
the boxes may drop and it makes
the siren sounds.
 If the sensor is stained with for- eign matter such as cosmetics,
spray type air freshener, or spray
type window cleaner, the sensor
may not operate normally.Theft-alarm stage

The rear parking assist system
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.This system is a supplemental systemand it is not intended to nor does it
replace the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing range and objects
detectable by the back sensors are
limited. Whenever backing-up, pay
as much attention to what is behind
you as you would in a vehicle without
a rear parking assist system.
