Information
• The warning chime will turn off whenthe detected vehicle moves out of the
sensing area or if your vehicle is moved
away from the detected vehicle.
• The system may not operate properly due to other factors or circumstances.
Always pay attention to your surround-
ings.
• If the sensing area near the rear bumper is blocked by either a wall or barrier or
by a parked vehicle, the system sensing
area may be reduced. The system may not work properly
when the bumper has been dam-
aged, or if the rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of the
road. When the road is narrow, the
system may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
- The outer side view mirror housing isdamaged.
- The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is tinted.
NOTICEi
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and
neglect to see the surrounding of
the vehicle. (Continued)
(Continued)
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD) and
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
Do not solely rely on the system
but check your surrounding
before changing lanes or backing
the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surroundings
while driving.
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA) are not a substitute
for proper and safe driving prac-
tices. Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes or
backing up your vehicle. The
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.

LKAS Operation
To activate the LKAS:
With the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion, press the LKAS button located on
the instrument panel on the lower left
hand side of the driver. The indicator in
the cluster display will initially illuminate
white. This indicates the LKAS is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.
LKAS activation
The LKAS screen will appear on theSCC/LKAS screen of the LCD display
if the system is activated.
When both lane lines are detected and all the conditions to activate the LKAS
are satisfied, a green steering wheel
indicator will illuminate and the LKAS
indicator light will change from white to
green. This indicates that the LKAS
system is in the ENABLED state and
the steering wheel will be able to be
controlled.
(Continued)
Do not place objects on the dash-
board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. The sys-
tem may malfunction if the sun-
light is reflected.
The operation of the LKAS may
be affected by several factors
including environmental condi-
tions that affect the ability of the
camera to detect the lanes in
front of you. It is the responsibili-
ty of the driver to pay careful
attention to the roadway and to
maintain the vehicle in its intend-
ed lane at all times.
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while the LKAS
system is activated. If you contin-
ue to drive with your hands off
the steering wheel after the
"Keep hands on steering wheel"
warning message appears, the
system will turn off automatically.
Always be cautious when using
the system.

The Cruise Control system allows you to
drive at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h)
without depressing the accelerator pedal.
Information
• During normal cruise control operation,when the SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
• Before activating the cruise control function, the system will check to verify
that the brake switch is operating nor-

Take the following precautions:
If the Cruise Control is left on,
("CRUISE" indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illuminated)
the Cruise Control can be activat-
ed unintentionally. Keep the
Cruise Control system off
("CRUISE" indicator light OFF)
when the Cruise Control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-
ting a speed.
Use the Cruise Control system
only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the Cruise Control
when it may be unsafe 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
- When driving on hilly or windy roads
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving with limited view (possibly due to bad weather
such as fog, snow, rain and
sandstorm)
