Safety system of your vehicle
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-
gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone. The SRS uses sensors to
gather information about the driver’s
and front passenger's seat belt
usage and impact severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors deter-
mine if the driver and front passen-
ger's seat belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation within
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, and
seat belt usage, the SRS Control
Module (SRSCM) controls the air
bag inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
front air bags, take the following
precautions:
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags,
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or center console.
Do not allow the front passen- ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.
No objects (such as crash pad cover, cellular phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stick-
ers) should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, windshield glass, and
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such
objects could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
Do not attach any objects on front windshield and inside
mirror.

Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist System
helps detect lane markers on the
road, and assists the driver's steer-
ing to help keep the vehicle between
lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and steering
wheel vibration warning, while apply-
ing a slight counter-steering torque,
to try to prevent the vehicle from
moving out of its lane.

The lane keeping assist system
is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS):
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to be
controlled by the system.
Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKAS helps prevent the driver from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver's steering. However,
the driver should not solely
rely on the system but always
pay attention on the steering
wheel to stay in the lane.
Always check the road condi- tion and surroundings and be
cautious when the system
cancels, does not operate or
malfunctions.
The system detects lane lines and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines are hard to
detect, the system may not
work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
Do not attempt to repair the LKAS camera and do not
remove any parts.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflect light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.
