Driving your vehicle The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, 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 nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
Or when the road is wide, the
system may not 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 outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged.
The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.

NOTICE
(Continued)
The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.

Limitations of the System
The LKAS may operate prematurely
even if the vehicle does not depart
from the intended lane, OR, the
LKAS may not warn you if the vehicle
leaves the intended lane under the
following circumstances:
The lanes ahead are not visibledue to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors.
The brightness outside changes suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
The surrounding of the inside rear view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight.
It is difficult to distinguish the lane marking from the road surface or
the lane marking is faded or not
clearly marked.

The lane number increases or decreases or the lane marker are
crossing complicatedly.
The lane line in a tunnel is stained with oil.
The lane markings are not clearly visible from the road.
The shadow is on the lane marker by a median strip, trees, etc.
The lane width is too wide or too narrow. See previous page. The windshield glass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.
There are markings on the road surface that look like a lane line
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
There is a boundary structure in the roadway such as a concrete
barrier, guardrail and reflector post
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
line or the vehicle ahead is driving
on the lane line.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.

Maintenance
Compact spare tire replacement(if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tire.
The replacement compact spare tire
should be the same size and design
tire as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mounted
on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tire wheel is not designed for mount-
ing a regular size tire.
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. To reduce the possibility of
losing control, slow down whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tire and also provides
the tire identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.
The original tire should be
repaired or replaced as soon as
possible to avoid failure of the
spare and loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. The com-
pact spare tire is for emergency
use only. Do not operate your
vehicle over 80 km/h (50 mph)
when using the compact spare
tire.

Maintenance
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tires for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num-
bers in the tire size designation
mean.Example tire size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tire size designa-
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.)
205/55R16 91H
205 - Tire width in millimeters.
55 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section
height as a percentage of its
width.
R - Tire construction code (Radial).
16 - Rim diameter in inches.
91 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.
Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
6.5JX16
6.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
16 - Rim diameter in inches.

6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width.
For example:
TREAD wear 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on spec-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perform-
ance.The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on straight-
ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accelera-
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
