•Never place or insert any object in‐to any small opening near side air‐bag labels attached to the vehicleseats. When the air bag deploys,the object may affect the deploy‐ment and result in unexpected ac‐cident or bodily harm.
WARNING
nNo attaching objects
No objects (such as crash pad cover,cellular phone holder, cup holder,perfume or stickers) should beplaced over or near the air bag mod‐ules on the steering wheel, instru‐ment panel, windshield glass, andthe front passenger's panel abovethe glove box. Such objects couldcause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy. Do not place any ob‐jects over the air bag or between theair bag and yourself.
Side air bag (if equipped)
Front
Your vehicle is equipped with a side im‐
pact air bag in each front seat. The purpose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and the front passenger
with additional protection than that of‐ fered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to de‐
ploy only during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash se‐ verity, angle, speed and point of im‐
pact. The side impact air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to leantheir heads or bodies onto doors, puttheir arms on the doors, stretchtheir arms out of the window, orplace objects between the doors andpassengers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/or cur‐tain air bags.

imity to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the trans‐
mitter could be blocked by normal

portant when the phone is active
such as making call, receiving calls,
text messaging, and/or sending/
receiving emails.

Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist systemmay not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi‐
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gra‐ dient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en‐
gines, or truck air brakes) are with‐
in range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing.
The detecting range may decreasewhen:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (The
sensing range will return to normal
when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is ex‐ tremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not berecognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.
Rear parking assist system
precautions
• The rear parking assist system may not sound consistently depending on
the speed and shapes of the objects detected. • The rear parking assist system may
malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has been
modified or damaged. Any non-fac‐
tory installed equipment or accesso‐ ries may also interfere with the sen‐
sor performance.
• The sensor may not recognize ob‐ jects less than 30 cm (12 in.) from
the sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains
are removed using a soft cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located be‐
