How does the air bag system
operate
Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
The appropriate air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious
frontal collision or side collision in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment/ inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing factors are not limited to those
mentioned above. The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
In addition to inflating in serious side collisions, side and/or curtain
air bags will inflate if the sensing
system detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, side and/or curtain air bags will remain
inflated longer to help provide pro-
tection from ejection, especially
when used in conjunction with the
seat belts. In order to help provide protection,
the air bags must inflate rapidly.
The speed of the air bag inflation is
a consequence of extremely short
time in which to inflate the air bag
between the occupant and the
vehicle structures before the occu-
pant impacts those structures. This
speed of inflation reduces the risk
of serious or life-threatening
injuries and is thus a necessary
part of the air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the
steering wheel or passenger air
bag can cause fatal injuries,
especially if the occupant is
positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel or passenger
air bag.

Do not place any accessories,
stickers or tint the windshield.
Have the windshield glass replaced from an authorized dealer.
Do not remove or impact related parts of the High Beam system.
Be careful that water doesn’t get into the High Beam unit.
Do not place objects on the dash- board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. The sys-
tem may malfunction if sunlight is
reflected.
At times, the High Beam system may not work properly, always
check the road conditions for your
safety. When the system does not
operate normally, manually change
between the high beam and low
beam.Turn signals and lane change
signals
The ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on
the turn signals, move the lever up or
down (A). The green arrow indicators
on the instrument panel indicate
which turn signal is operating. They
will self-cancel after a turn is com-
pleted. If the indicator continues to
flash after a turn, manually return the
lever to the OFF position. To signal a lane change, move the
turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position (B). The lever will return to
the OFF position when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of
the turn signal bulbs may be burned
out and will require replacement.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If an indicator flash is abnormally
quick or slow, a bulb may be burned
out or have a poor electrical connec-
tion in the circuit.

Driving your vehicle
Limitations of the System
The Autonomous Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to monitor
the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar signals and
camera recognition to warn the driver
that a collision is imminent, and if nec-
essary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the AEB sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
AEB operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris.
- Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or cam-
era.
- There is interference by electro- magnetic waves.
- There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor.
- The vehicle in front is too small to be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.).
- The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.).
- The driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of
view). - The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights properly turned
ON.
- The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel.
- The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically.
- The vehicle drives through a con- struction area, on an unpaved
road, or above metal materials,
such as a railway.
- The vehicle drives inside a build- ing, such as a basement parking
lot.
