In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®
) Mirror
(if equipped)
The NVS ®
Mirror automatically
reduces glare by monitoring light lev- els in the front and the rear of the
vehicle. Any object that obstructs
either light sensor will degrade the
automatic dimming control feature.
For more information regarding NVS ®
mirrors and other applica-
tions, please refer to the Gentexwebsite:
www.gentex.com The auto-dimming function can be
controlled by pressing the ON/OFF
button:
1. Pressing the button turns the
auto-dimming function OFF which
is indicated by the green Status
Indicator LED turning off.
2. Pressing the button again turns the auto-dimming function ON
which is indicated by the green
Status Indicator LED turning on.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.
Z-Nav™ Compass Display
The NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is
also equipped with a Z-Nav™
Compass that shows the vehicle
Compass heading in the Display
Window using the 8 basic cardinalheadings (N, NE, E, SE, etc.).

Exterior Lights
Lighting control
To operate the lights, turn the knob at
the end of the control lever to one of
the following positions: (1) OFF position
(2) AUTO light position
(3) Parking lamp position(4) Headlamp position
AUTO light position
The parking lamp and headlamp will
be turned ON or OFF automaticallydepending on the amount of light
outside the vehicle.
Even with the AUTO light feature in
operation, it is recommended to
manually turn ON the lamps when
driving at night or in a fog, or when
you enter dark areas, such as tun-
nels and parking facilities. Do not cover or spill anything on
the sensor (1) located in front ofthe instrument panel.
Do not clean the sensor using a window cleaner the cleanser
may leave a light film which
could interfere with sensor oper-ation.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coat-
ing on the front windshield, the
AUTO light system may not work
properly.

Rear parking assist system (if equipped)
The Rear Parking Assist System
assists the driver during reverse
movement of the vehicle by chiming
if any object is sensed within approx-imately 120 cm (50 in) behind the
vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys- tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, itcannot detect objects in other areaswhere sensors are not installed.
Operation of the Rear ParkingAssist System
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5km/h (3
mph), the system may not detect
objects.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), the system will not
warn you even though objects aredetected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Sensor
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.

Non-operational conditions ofParking Assist System
The Rear Parking Assist System
may not operate normally when:
Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
The sensor is covered with dirt or debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of the Rear
Parking Assist System malfunction
when:
Driving on uneven road surfacessuch as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sen-
sor.
Heavy rain or water spray is pres- ent.
Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are present near the sen-
sor.
The sensor is covered with snow.
Any non-factory equipment or accessories have been installed,
or if the vehicle bumper height orsensor installation has been modi-fied.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
Outside air temperature isextremely hot or cold.
Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 inches) and narrower than
14 cm (6 inches) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such asropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen- sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.

Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not operate consistently in some circumstances depending on
the speed of the vehicle and theshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installa-tion has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may
also interfere with the sensor per-
formance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is blocked with snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor. Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
Do not spray the sensors or its sur- rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries toits occupants related to a Rear
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.

inside the vehicle on the center of the
dash near the front windshield. In
order to ensure optimum control of
the heating and cooling system, never
block the sensor or place anything
near the sensor while the climate con-
trol system is operating.
Manual heating and air condi- tioning
The heating and cooling system can
be controlled manually by pushing
buttons other than the AUTO button.
In this case, the system workssequentially according to the order of
buttons selected. When pressing any
button except the AUTO button while
using automatic operation, the func-tions not selected will be controlled
automatically.

2. Set the mode to the desired posi- tion.
For improving the effectiveness of heating and cooling;
- Heating: - Cooling:
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position. 4. Set the air intake control to the
outside (fresh) air position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
6. If air conditioning is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
