Introduction
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in
your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214
or equivalent specifications. (EN stands
for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-
els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding7% with biodiesel will cause increased
wear or damage to the engine and fuel
system. Repair or replacement of worn ordamaged components due to the use of
non approved fuels will not be covered by
the manufactures warranty.No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergen- cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or water
enter the tank. This would make it
necessary to drain it out and tobleed the lines to avoid jamming theinjection pump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel for diesel vehicle equipped with the
DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) andunspecified additives, it can cause the DPF system to be damaged and
white smoke can be emitted.
CAUTION
Never use any fuel, whether diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,that fails to meet the latest petro-leum industry specification.
Never use any fuel additives or treatments that are not recom-mended or approved by the vehi-cle manufacturer.

Non-operational conditions of rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist system may
not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It willoperate normally when the moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked. (It will operate
normally when the material is removed
or the sensor is no longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-ent).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes) are within
range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the sensor.
7. Trailer towing. The detecting range may decrease when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign mat-
ter such as snow or water. (The sens-
ing range will return to normal when
removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be rec-
ognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sen- sor frequency such as clothes, spongy
material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) and narrower than 14 cm (6 in.)
in diameter. Rear parking assist system pre- cautions
The rear parking assist system may
not sound sequentially depending on the speed and shapes of the objectsdetected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumperheight or sensor installation has been
modified or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor per-
formance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 30 cm (11.8 in.) from the sen-
sor, or it may sense an incorrect dis-
tance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sen- sor. Sensor damage could occur.

motorcycle's engine noise, air brake
noise of heavy vehicles and with the
other vehicle's parking assist system
working.
Near a circular pillar or narrow pillar, or a pillar surrounded by object such as
fire extinguisher, etc.
The sensor is positioned incorrectly by an impact to the bumper
WARNING
Do not use the Smart Parking
Assist System in the following con-
ditions for unexpected results mayoccur and cause a serious accident.
1. Parking on inclines
The driver must apply the accelera- tor and brake pedal when parking
on inclines. If the driver is unfamil-
iar with applying the accelerator
and brake pedal, a car accident may
occur.

Driving your vehicle
✽✽NOTICE
 The system may not work properly when the bumper has been damaged,
or if the rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
 The sensing range differs somewhat
according to the width of the road.
When the road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in the next
lane Or when the road is wide, the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
 The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Warning message
This warning message may appearwhen : - One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or snow
or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the BSD
sensor does not detect another vehicle
for an extended period of time.
- When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.
- A trailer or carrier is installed. (To use
the BSD system, remove the trailer or
carrier from your vehicle.)
If any of these conditions occur, the light
on the BSD switch and the system will
turn off automatically.

WARNING
The warning light on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and neg-
lect to see the surrounding of the
vehicle.
Drive safely even though the vehi- cle is equipped with a Blind SpotDetection System (BSD) and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Do not
solely rely on the system but check
your surrounding before changing
lanes or backing the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver
in some conditions so always
check your surroundings whiledriving.
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 cau-
tion when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) may not
detect every object alongside the
vehicle.
