FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the FEB system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
. The FEB system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects:
— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-
cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary
vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the
FEB system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds over
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) .
. The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following con-
ditions: — Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor.
— Interference by other radar sources.
— Snow or road spray from travel- ing vehicles.
— If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle)
— When driving on a steep down- hill slope or roads with sharp
curves.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
the FEB system may unexpectedly
push the accelerator pedal up or
apply partial braking. When accel-
eration is necessary, continue to
depress the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
. Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.
. The system is designed to automa-
tically check the sensor’s function-
ality, within certain limitations. The
system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area

WARNING
.The sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
parking. Always look around and
check that it is safe to do so before
parking. Always move slowly.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the sonar system as con-
tained in this section. Inclement
weather may affect the function of
the sonar system; this may include
reduced performance or a false
activation. .
This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or mov-
ing objects.
. The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system will not
detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects
that are too close to the bumper or
on the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper fascia, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible to hear the tone clearly.
The sonar system sounds a tone to warn the
driver of obstacles near the bumper. When the
“Sonar Display” key is ON, the sonar indicator
will also appear in the center display. (See
“Sonar indicator” (P.5-134) .) The system de-
tects front obstacles when the shift lever is in the
D (Drive) position or N (Neutral) position. The
system detects both front and rear obstacles
when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
The system may not detect objects at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The sonar system detects obstacles up to 3.9 ft
(1.2 m) from the bumper with a decreased
coverage area at the outer corners of the
bumper. Refer to the illustration for approximate
zone coverage areas. As you move closer to the
obstacle, the rate of the tone increases. When
Starting and driving5-133
SONAR SYSTEM (if so equipped)

5-134Starting and driving
the obstacle is less than 11.8 in (30 cm) away,
the tone will sound continuously.
Keep the corner/center sensors (located on the
bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt (do not clean the sensors
with sharp objects) . If the sensors are covered, it
will affect the accuracy of the sonar system.
The sensitivity level of the corner/center sensors
can be adjusted (higher or lower) in the Sonar
setting display. (See “Sonar settings” (P.4-27) .)
The intermittent tone will stop in 3 seconds
when an obstacle is detected by only the corner
sensor and the distance does not change.

SONAR INDICATOR
With the “Sonar Display” key ON in the “Sonar”
settings, when the corner/center sensors detect
obstacles near the bumper, a tone will sound
and the sonar indicator will appear in the center
display
*1. When the RearView Monitor is
displayed, the sonar indicator will appear in the
upper corner of the display
*2.
The sonar indicators
*Aand*Bindicate the
position of the object and the distance to the
object with its color and rate of blinking.
When an object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks (the tone sounds
intermittently) . When the vehicle moves closer
to the object, the color of the indicator turns
yellow and the rate of blinking increases (the
rate of the tone increases) . When the bumper is
very close to the object, less than 11.8 in (30
cm) away, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red (the tone sounds continuously) .
When the RearView Monitor is displayed,
the colors of the sonar indicator and the
distance guide lines in the rear view
indicate different distances to the object.
The sonar indicator can be turned off in the
sonar setting display. (See “Sonar settings”
(P.4-27) .) When the sonar indicator is off, only
a tone sounds when the sonar detect obstacles.

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
OFF SWITCH
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system ON for most
driving conditions.
When the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be
reduced even if the accelerator is depressed to
the floor. If maximum engine power is needed to
free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system, push the VDC OFF switch. The VDC off
indicator light
will illuminate.Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn ON the system.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the
key hole or use the Intelligent Key system.
ANTIFREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
outside temperature will drop below 328F(0
8C) ,
check antifreeze to assure proper winter protec-
tion. For additional information, see “Engine
cooling system” (P.8-4).
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the battery
fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To
maintain maximum efficiency, the battery should
be checked regularly. For additional information,
see “Battery” (P.8-11) .
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without
antifreeze, drain the cooling system, including
the engine block. Refill before operating the
vehicle. For details, see “Engine cooling system”
(P.8-4) .
