TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator provides
visual and audible signals outside the vehicle
to help you inflate the tires to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure.Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion. Do not start the engine.
Operation: 1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indica- tors will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. ∙ If the tire is over-inflated more thanapproximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure,
push the core of the valve stem on the
tire briefly to release pressure. When
the pressure reaches the designated
pressure, the horn beeps once.
∙ If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates that the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indi-
cator is not operating.
∙ The TPMS will not activate the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator under the
following conditions:
– If there is interference from an exter- nal device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation de- vice is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS system.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
– The identification code of the tire pressure sensor is not registered to
the system.
– The battery of the tire pressure sensor is low.
∙ If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indica- tor does not operate due to TPMS
interference, move the vehicle about
3 ft (1 m) backward or forward and try
again.
If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is
not working, use a tire pressure gauge.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The BSW system is not a replacement forproper driving procedures and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction your vehicle will
move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when chang-
ing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated. This detection
zone starts from the outside mirror of your
vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft
(3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 mph (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
1
illuminates. If the turn signal is then activated,
the system chimes (twice) and the side indi-
cator light flashes. The side indicator light
continues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the side indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. For additional information, re-
fer to “BSW driving situations” in this section.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The BSW system cannot detect all ve-hicles under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensors may not be able to de- tect and activate BSW when certain ob-
jects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. – A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes
rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are trav-
eling close together.
∙ The radar sensors’ detection zone is de- signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an ad-
jacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
∙ The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects; however, ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and
parked vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray – Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
∙ Do not attach stickers (including trans- parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar sen-
sors. These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
∙ Excessive noise (for example, audio sys- tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

NOTE:
∙ The radar sensors may not detect ve-

from behind.
∙ If the driver activates the turn signal be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no

signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
∙ When overtaking several vehicles in a
row, the vehicles after the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are traveling
close together.
∙ The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed
quickly. ∙
If the driver activates the turn signal be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle
is detected.

hicle which is traveling at about the same
speed as your vehicle when it enters the
detection zone.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system
will be deactivated automatically. The “Un-
available: Side Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear and the
BSI/BSW/BCI/RCTA indicator (white) will
blink
Ain the vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog. The blocked condition
may also be caused by objects such as ice,
frost or dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.
