while the remote controller is not inside
the vehicle and the engine is running or
the ignition mode has been changed to

tem warning light (blinks)NOTE:
If the warning is given, locate the remote
controller as soon as possible.
Any attempt to start the engine will fail
while the warning is active. Blinking of
the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light in the instrument clus-
ter will indicate this condition. Refer to
“Warning and Indicator Lights” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details.
Blinking of the immobilizer/keyless push

do not stop blinking, change the ignition
mode to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch and then perform the
engine starting operation.
Always keep the remote controller with
you as the driver.

NOTE: Thin poles or obstacles lower than the sen-
sors may become undetectable as the
vehicle moves closer to them even if they
have been detected from longer distances.
The system may calculate the distance to
a road sign or similar obstacle to be shorter
than the actual dist
ance.How to Use the Parking SensorParking sensor switch

(1) Parking sensor switch
(2) Indicator
Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion or press the engine switch to changethe ignition mode to “ON” with the park-
ing sensor switch in the “ON” position.
Push the switch again and it stays in; this
is the OFF position. The indicator in the
switch goes out and the parking sensor
is deactivated.
NOTE:
If you push the parking sensor switch
from the “OFF” to “ON” position when
the ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
inside buzzer sounds.
When the gearshift lever is shifted to the
“R” (Reverse) position with the system
ON, a buzzer will sound once.
Obstacle Indication by Parking Sen-
sorUpon detecting an obstacle, the parking
sensor causes an interior buzzer to sound.
A buzzer located behind the rear seat
sounds when a sensor at the rear
detects an obstacle.

Additional Trailer Towing Warnings
WA R N I N G
Connect trailer lights and hook up
safety chains every time you tow.
NOTICE
Because towing a trailer puts addi-
tional stress on your vehicle, more
frequent maintenance will be
required than under normal driving
conditions.
WA R N I N G
Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. For your safety
and the safety of others, you should
observe the following precautions:
Practice turning, stopping, and
reversing before you begin towing
in traffic. Do not tow in traffic until
you are confident that you can han-
dle the vehicle and trailer safely.
Never exceed towing speed limits
or 80 km/h (50 mph), whichever is
lower.
Never drive at a speed that causes
shaking or swaying of the trailer. If
you notice even the slightest sign
of shaking or swaying, slow down.
When roads are wet, slippery or
rough, drive at a slower speed than
you would on dry, smooth roads.
Failure to slow down when road
conditions are bad can result in
loss of control.
Always have someone guide you
when reversing.
Allow adequate stopping distance.
Stopping distance is increased
when you tow a trailer. For each 16
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at
least one vehicle and trailer length
between you and the vehicle ahead.
Follow at a greater distance if roads
are wet or slippery.
If the trailer has over-run brakes,
apply the brakes gradually to avoid
snatching caused by the trailer
wheels locking.
Slow down before corners and
maintain a steady speed while cor-
nering. Deceleration or accelera-
tion while cornering can result in
loss of control. Remember that a
larger than normal turning radius is
needed because the trailer wheels
will be closer than vehicle wheels
to the inside of the turn.
Avoid sudden acceleration and
stopping of the vehicle. Do not
make quick maneuvers unless they
are necessary.
Slow down in cross winds and be
prepared for gusts of wind from
large passing vehicles.
