PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
•The driver must not attempt to operate
the audio system while the vehicle is in
motion, so that full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
•Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before operat-
ing the audio system and playing movies
(if equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods of
time with the engine turned off can dis-
charge the vehicle battery.
•Do not allow the system to get wet. Ex-
cessive moisture such as spilled liquids
may cause the system to malfunction.
Radio
Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio when the engine is not
running, the ignition switch should be pushed
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in re-
ception quality are normally caused by these
external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to ex-
tend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving
vehicle, even when the best quality equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are com-
pletely normal in a given reception area, and
do not indicate any malfunction in your radio
system.
AUDIO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

AUDIO SYSTEM
HD Radio Technology
Sound:
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Delay in digital audio on HD Radio broadcasts. The radio acquires an analog station first and blends to a digital signal.This is not a malfunction.
Audio skip, stutter or echo. The radio station has not properly aligned the digi-
tal and analog audio. Verify correct operation on another station. Report
any station with poor performance.
Volume changing up/down. The radio station has not properly aligned digital
and analog audio level. Verify correct operation on another station and
check www.hdradio.com for stations in the area. Report any station with poor performance.
Sound fading in and out. The transition between analog and digital is taking
place (blending). Verify transition performance on several stations in
the area. Report any station with poor perfor- mance.
Excessive blending (Transition between analog and digital). The receiver is located near the edge of the digital
coverage area. Refer to www.hdradio.com to verify stations in
your coverage area.
Digital audio not better than analog audio. Audio processing on the digital audio at a station can potentially decrease the digital audio soundquality. Verify correct operation on another station. Report
any station with poor performance.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Each volume level (ring tone, incoming voice or outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly.
Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between the
navigation screen (if equipped) and the screen on a cellular phone. Making or receiving a call is unavailable even though the antenna
display indicates that it is possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the model
of cellular phone. This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna
display and remaining battery level shown on the
navigation screen may be different from those shown on the cellular phone screen. Use them as a reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using a cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or
completely shut out radio waves that are used for cellular phones. This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads, high
voltage electric power cables, traffic signals, or neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from
radio devices may adversely affect the cellular phone. This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular
phone may adversely affect the sound from the audio system. This is not a malfunction.
The sound skips. The cellular phone may have turned on the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).

LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
1Steering wheel mounted controls
2Vehicle information display
ADisplay area
BMenu barThe LDW system operates at speeds of ap-
proximately 40 MPH (60 km/h) and above,
when the lane markings are clear.
If the system detects that the vehicle's front
wheel has passed over the lane marking, a
warning will be provided. It will warn you by
means of intermittent vibration through the
steering wheel for up to 1.5 seconds and a
visual alert.
NOTE
The LDW system is designed not to warn
when you operate the lane change signal and
change traveling lanes in the direction of the
signal.
No warning vibration occurs if you activate
the turn signals. In this event, the warnings
are suppressed for a certain period of time.

When [Standard] is selected, no warning vi-
bration occurs if:
•You have switched on the turn signals. In
this event, the warnings are suppressed
for a certain period of time.
•A driving safety system intervenes, such as
ABS, brake assist system (BAS) or VDC.
When [Adaptive] is selected, no warning vi-
bration occurs if:
•You have switched on the turn signals. In
this case the warnings are suppressed for
a certain period of time.
•A driving system intervenes, such as ABS,
BAS or VDC.
•You accelerate forcefully.
•You brake forcefully.
•You steer actively, for example, swerve to
avoid an obstacle or change lane quickly.
•You cut the corner on a sharp bend.
The system may detect certain conditions
and warns you accordingly. The warning vibration occurs earlier if:
•You approach the outer lane marking on a
bend.
•The road has very wide lanes, for example,
a freeway.
•The system detects solid lane markings.
The warning vibration occurs later if:
•The road has narrow lanes.
•You cut across a corner on a bend.
LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
•This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It
is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.

Illustration 2:If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. The BSW indica-
tor light continues to flash until the detected
vehicles leave the detection zone.
NOTE
•The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
•The brightness of the BSW indicator lights
is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
•If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal,
then only the BSW indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See "Another ve-
hicle approaching from behind" later in this
section.)
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver ac-
tivates the turn signal.
WARNING
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example audio sys-
tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
•The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as: – Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
– Several types of vehicles such as mo-
torcycles
– Oncoming vehicles
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop. –
A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
•Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operating
condition.
