 Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly an object in
front or behind the
vehicle. When your ve
hicle is approaching
the object too closely, take all necessary actions to avoid a collis

ing and steering, regar
dless of whether the
Ultrasonic misaccel
eration Mitigation
System is activated or not.  The Ultrasonic misacc
eleration Mitigation
System is not designed to detect a pedes-trian or bicycle. When propulsion power is immediately required while the Ultrasonic misaccelera- tion Mitigation System is activated, take one of the following actions. • Release the foot from the acceleratorpedal and lightly de
press the pedal again.
• Press and hold the Forward collision mit- igation system (FCM) and Ultrasonicmisacceleration Mitigation System ON/OFF switch for three seconds or more to turn off the Ultrasonic misaccel-eration Mitigation System.• Keep depressing the accelerator pedalfor 5 seconds or more.• Fully depress and release the acceleratorpedal three times or more in quick suc- cession.
 Never attempt to test the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System. Doing so could result in an accident.WA R N I N G
 While the Active Stability Control system (ASC) is turned off
by operating the ASC
OFF switch, the Ultrasonic misaccelera-tion Mitigation System does not operate. Refer to “ASC OF
F switch” on page
5-101. The Ultrasonic misacc
eleration Mitigation
System may not operate in certain situa-tions. Some of these include:• The sensors or surr
oundings have been
wiped by hand.• The stickers or ac
cessories have been
attached to the sens
ors or surroundings.
• When the ambient temperature is rap- idly changing. For e
xample, immediately
after the vehicle has exited from a tunnel or a garage.

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane Change Assist) (if so equipped)

When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at same speed or faster in the detection areas,the Blind Spot Warning light in the corre- sponding outside rearview
mirror will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated to theside where the Blind Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind
Spot Warning light will
blink and the system will beep three times toalert the driver. Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle.
N00592300038
The BSW uses 2 sensors (A) located inside the rear bumper. The detection areas are
shown as illustrated.
WA R N I N GBefore using the BSW, read this entire sec- tion to fully understand the limitations ofthis system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident.
 Never rely solely on the BSW system when changing lanes. BSW is an aid only. It isnot a substitute for your safe and carefuldriving. Always check
visually behind and
all around your vehicl
e for other vehicles.
The performance of the BSW may varydepending on driving, traffic and/or road conditions.
