When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
 


 The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specifi cation.



 The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire
wear is excessively different between them.
 


 A run-fl at tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used.



 An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may fl ash
and then continue illuminating).
 


 A tire is repaired using the emergency fl at tire repair kit.



 The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specifi ed pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
 


 The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
 


 The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.



 Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.
 


 Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
 


 System initialization has not been implemented with the specifi ed tire pressure.

Rear View Monitor
Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are displayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.

b
a

a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines.
These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
 


 The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for the red line and
100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each
of the lines).

CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fi xed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning
of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the
surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.

Rear View Monitor
Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending on
the traffi c, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confi rm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).

1. Shift the selector lever to reverse (R) to switch the display to the rear view monitor
display.
2. Confi rming the surrounding conditions, reverse the vehicle.


(Display condition) (Vehicle condition)

3. After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing up slowly so that
the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left
and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to
the left and right sides of the parking space.

Appendix
Things You Need to Know
WARNING
Always adjust the audio while the
vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving
the vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a
serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of
the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

NOTE
 


 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.
 


 If a cellular phone or CB radio is used
in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system,
however, this does not indicate that the
system has been damaged.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.


Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.
