Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
- The pedestrian is not fully detected bythe camera recognition system, for
example, if the pedestrian is leaning
over or is not fully walking upright.
- The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the camera
detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that
easily blends into the background,
making it difficult to be detected by the
camera recognition system.
- The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight or in sun
glare) or too dark (e.g. when driving on
a dark rural road at night).
- It is difficult to detect and distinguish the pedestrian from other objects in the
surroundings, for example, when there
is a group of pedestrians or a large
crowd.Information
In some instances, the AEB system may be
cancelled when subjected to electromag-
netic interference.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

Do not use the Automatic
Emergency Braking system when
towing a vehicle. Application of
the AEB system while towing
may adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing vehi-
cle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the
cab, or when the vehicle in front
of you has higher ground clear-
ance.
The AEB system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar sig-
nals and camera recognition. It is
not designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
Never try to test the operation of
the AEB system. Doing so may
cause severe injury or death.

For your safety, please read the
owner's manual before using the
Smart Cruise Control system.
WARNING
Do not use smart cruise control
when towing a trailer.
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control System
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience func-
tion only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
If the Smart Cruise Control is left
on, ("CRUISE" indicator light in
the instrument cluster is illumi-
nated) the Smart Cruise Control
can be activated unintentionally.
Keep the Smart Cruise Control
System off ("CRUISE" indicator
light OFF) when the Smart Cruise
Control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Set the Smart Cruise Control
speed under the posted speed,
which is regulated by the law.
Use the Smart Cruise Control
System when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the Smart Cruise
Control when it may not be safe
to keep the vehicle at a constant
speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic or
when traffic conditions make it
difficult to drive at a constant
speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads

WARNING

Driving your vehicle
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage
to the transmission, and tire damage.
See "Towing" in chapter 6.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more distancebetween you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's headlamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and prop- erly aimed. Dirty or improperly aimed
headlamps will make it much more dif-
ficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the headlamps of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to read-
just to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to con-
sider when driving in the rain or on slick
pavement:
Slow down and allow extra followingdistance. A heavy rainfall makes it
harder to see and increases the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
Tires should be properly maintained with at least 2/32nds of an inch of tread
depth. If your tires do not have enough
tread, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and possi-
bly lead to an accident. See "Tire
Tread" in chapter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large puddles can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driving until
normal braking operation returns.

The label located on the driver's door sill gives the original tire size, cold
tire pressures recommended for your vehicle, the number of people that
can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.
Tire Loading Information LabelVehicle capacity weight
849 lbs. (385 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-
mum combined weight of occupants
and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped
with a trailer, the combined weight
includes the tongue load.
Seating capacity
Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2 persons,
Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a
driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight of
all of the occupants, and the weight
of the cargo being carried or towed.
Do not overload the vehicle as there
is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit including occupants and cargo,
the vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.

Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants and the tongue load, if
your vehicle is equipped with a trail-
er.
Steps for determining correctload limit
1. Locate the statement "The com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's
placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs. 4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
the "XXX" amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trail- er, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle. Do not overload the vehicle as
there is a limit to the total
weight, or load limit, including
occupants and cargo, the vehi-
cle can carry. Overloading can
shorten the life of the vehicle. If
the GVWR or the GAWR is
exceeded, parts on the vehicle
can break, and it can change
the handling of your vehicle.
These could cause you to lose
control and result in an acci-
dent.
