Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the severity of impact of the front col-
lision.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity of impact
resulting from a side impact collision.Although the driver's and front pas-
senger's air bags are designed to
inflate only in frontal collisions, they
also may inflate in other types of col-
lisions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions
or rollover situations, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.

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.

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
System (if equipped)
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) sys-
tem is provided to help prevent exit-
ing the vehicle with the rear passen-
ger left in the vehicle.
1st alert- When you open the front doorafter opening and closing the rear
door and turning off the engine,
the “Check rear seats” warning
message appears on the cluster.
2nd alert - After the 1st alert the 2nd alertoperates when any movement is
detected in the vehicle after the
driver’s door is closed and all the
doors are locked. The horn will
activate for about 25 seconds. If
the system continues to detect a
movement the alert operates up
to 8 times.
- Unlock the door with the remote key or smart key to stop the alert.
- The system detects movement in the vehicle for 24 hours after the
door is locked.The Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
system may not operate nor-
mally if there is any vehicle or
obstacle at the rear area of
your vehicle.
The Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
system may not operate nor-
mally when a vehicle is com-
ing rapidly two lanes over
from your vehicle or a vehicle
is approaching at a fast speed
from the rear in the lane next
to your vehicle.
The Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
system may be activated later
than normal or may not oper-
ate normally if a vehicle is
approaching fast from the rear
of your vehicle.
CAUTIONThe Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
system will not operate if
there is a malfunction with the
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system as follows:
- When the BCW warning message appears
When the BCW sensor or
the sensor surrounding is
polluted or covered
- When the BCW does not warn or warns wrongly
For more details, refer to cau-
tions and limitations in "Blind-
Spot Collision Warning (BCW)"
in chapter 5.
The system does not detect
every obstacle approaching
the vehicle exit.
The driver and passenger are
responsible for any obstacles
while exiting the vehicle.
Always check the surrounding
before you exit the vehicle.

(e.g. wind or bugs).
CAUTION
The 2nd alert is activated only afterthe prior activation of the 1st alert.
You can activate or deactivate the Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) sys-
tem from the User Settings mode

stances.
The alert may activate if move-
ment in the driver or passen-

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 Gentex

upon detecting glare from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you. The auto-
dimming function can be controlled
by pressing the Dimming ON/OFF
button (4):

for 3 seconds turns the auto-dim-
ming function OFF which is indi-
cated by the green Status
Indicator LED turning off.
2. Pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds again turns the auto-
dimming function ON which is indi-
cated by the green Status Indicator
LED turning on.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.
