Smart Brake Support (SBS)*
The SBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a display and warning sound
if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC ) determine that there is the
possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead while the vehicle is being driven at about 15
km/h or faster (10 mph or faster). Furthermore, if the radar se nsor (front) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a collision is unavoidable , the automatic brake
control is performed to reduce da mage in the event of a collision.
In addition, whe n the driver depresses the brake ped al, the brakes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS system and always drive carefully:
The SBS is designed to reduce damage in the ev ent of a collision, not avoid an accident. The
ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the obstruction, weather conditions,
or traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator
pedal or brake pedal is mistakenly operated
it could result in an accident. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pe dal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or
on-coming vehicles.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:
 The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle.
 The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
 When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or
off-road.
NOTE
•The SBS system operates when all of the following conditions are met:
•The ignition is switched ON.
•The SBS system is on.
•The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).
•The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
•The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is not operating.

The rear view monitor provides visual images of the rear of the vehicle when reversing.
WA R N I N G
Always drive carefully
confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by
looking directly with your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen is dangerous as it may cause an accident
or a collision with an object. The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device when
reversing the vehicle. The images on the screen may be different from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the rear view monitor under the following conditions: Using the rear view
monitor under the following conditions is dang erous and could result in injury or vehicle
damage or both.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.
 The liftgate is not fully closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 When the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen and may be
dimmer than usual, which could cause difficul ty in confirming the surrounding conditions
of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirm ing the safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
 Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may deviate.
 Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
 The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic solvents,
wax, or glass coating agents to the camera co ver. If any are spilled on the cover, wipe off
with a soft cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera cover forcefully with an abrasive or hard brush. The camera cover or
lens may be scratched which might affect the images.
NOTE
•If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it
cannot be wiped off, use a mild detergent.
•If the camera temperature changes rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the rear view
monitor may not ope rate correctly.

▼Luggage Compartment
Cargo Securing Loops
WA R N I N G
Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as
it could move or be crushed during sudden
braking or a collision and cause injury.
Use the loops in the luggage compartment to secure cargo with a rope or net. The tensile
strength of the loops is 196 N (20 kgf, 44 lbf). Do not apply e xcessive force to the loops as
it will damage them.
Cargo Sub-Compartment
Open the cover to put small items in the cargo sub-compartment.
