Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on
the severity, speed or angles ofimpact of the front collision.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity, speed orangles of impact resulting from aside impact collision.Although the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s air bags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions, they also
may inflate in other types of colli-sions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in side impact collisions, but
they may inflate in other collisions ifthe side impact sensors detect a suf-ficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when a rollover is
detected by a rollover sensor. (if
equipped with rollover sensor)
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.

Safety system of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to “ride” under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
“underride” collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provideadditional occupant protection.
Information
Vehicles equipped with rollover sensor The side and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover situation, when it is
detected by the rollover sensor.
Vehicles not equipped with rollover sensor
The side and/or curtain air bags may
inflate when the vehicle is rolled over
by a side impact collision, if the vehicle
is equipped with side and/or curtain
air bags.

of the vehicles behind you during
night driving.
Remember that you lose somerearview clarity in the night position.
Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati-cally controls the glare from the head-
lamp of the vehicle behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the driver’s view
behind the vehicle. [A] : Indicator

paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirrorhousing.Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust mirror angles

the sensor (1) located on theinstrument panel.
Do not clean the sensor using a window cleaner, the cleanser
may leave a light film which
could interfere with sensor oper-ation.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coat-
ing on the front windshield, the

Information
If there is heavy accumulation of snow
or ice on the windshield, defrost the
windshield for about 10 minutes, or until
the snow and/or ice is removed before
using the windshield wipers to ensure
proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or ice
before using the wiper and washer, it may
damage the wiper and washer system.
AUTO (Automatic) control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upperend of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates.
When the rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn thespeed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ignition switch is inthe ON position, the wiper will oper-
ate once to perform a self-check of
the system. Set the wiper to OFF
position when the wiper is not in use.
When washing the vehicle, set the wiper switch in the O (OFF) positionto stop the auto wiper operation.
The wiper may operate and be dam-
aged if the switch is set in the AUTO
mode while washing the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield glass.
Damage to system parts could
occur and may not be covered by

Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system (if equipped)
[A] : Sensor
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system assists the driver
during reverse movement of the vehi-
cle by chiming if any object is sensedwithin the distance of 120 cm (50
inches) behind the vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys- tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, itcannot detect objects in other areaswhere sensors are not installed.
Operation of the ParkingDistance Warning (Reverse)
system
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if vehi-
cle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph),
the system may not detect objects.
If vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), the system will not warn you
even though objects are detected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.
