■When front airbags should not deploy
Minor frontal crashes:  Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and 
help to save lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might 
occur during a less than mode rate-to-severe frontal crash.
Side impacts:  Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration 
causes a driver or front passenger to move  towards the front of the vehicle. Side 
airbags and side curtain airbags have been  specifically designed to help to reduce 
the severity of injuries that can occur du ring a moderate-to-severe side impact which 
can cause the driver or passenger to  move towards the side of the vehicle.
Rear impacts:  Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear 
impact. Front airbags cannot provide any significant protection and are not designed 
to deploy in such collisions.
Rollovers:  In a rollover, your best form of protection is a seat belt or, if your vehicle 
is equipped with a rollover sensor, both a seat belt and a side curtain airbag. Front 
airbags, however, are not designed to depl oy in a rollover as they would provide 
little if any protection.
■When front airbags deploy with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden  deceleration, a strong impact to the 
vehicle framework or suspension might caus e one or more of the airbags to deploy. 
Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed object 
that causes a sudden deceleration in th e vehicle chassis. Since the impact is 
underneath the vehicle, damage  may not be readily apparent.
■When front airbags may not deploy , even though exterior damage 
appears severe
Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact, the amount of 
visible damage does not always indicate  proper airbag operation. In fact, some 
collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags 
would not have been needed or would not  have provided protection even if they 
had deployed.

uuWhen Driving uLane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Driving
LDW may not activate or may not recognize  lanes, and may activate even when 
keeping in the middle of a lane under the following conditions.
■LDW Limitations
Condition
●When you drive in bad weather (rain, fog, etc.).●A heavy load in the rear or modificati ons to the suspension tilts your vehicle.●An abnormal tire condition is detected (wrong tire size, flat tire, etc.).●When the windshield is blocked by  dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.●When the temperature inside the system is high.●A sudden change between light and dark such as an entr ance or exit of a tunnel.●You drive into the sunlight (e.g. at dawn or dusk).●When the windshield is dirty or cloudy.●When you drive in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.●When you drive on a wet road su rface following another vehicle.
uThe camera may perceive the tire tracks in the water as lane lines.●When there is snow or wheel tracks on the side of the road.●When the road has many repaired  areas or an erased lane line.●When the vehicle is running over pa inted signs or crosswalk markings.●When you drive in a lane with worn-out lane markups.

*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and 
from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filter every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperatures.  This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance 
Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the transmission fluid changed 
every 25,000 miles (40,000 km).
