Safe Exit Assist (SEA) System
(if equipped)
1. The Safe Exit Assist system is pro-vided to help prevent the passen-
gers from opening a door by warning
the passengers when an approach-
ing vehicle from the rear area is
detected after the vehicle stops.
2. When an approaching vehicle from the rear area is detected
after the vehicle stops, the rear
door does not unlock even when
the driver tries to unlock the rear
door using the Electronic child
safety lock button. The "Check
surroundings then try again"
warning message appears on the
cluster and a warning sounds. However if you press the switch
within 10 seconds after the warn-
ing message appears (the indica-
tor on the switch will turn off), the
system judges that the driver
unlocked the door acknowledging
the rear status and released
regardless of the rear status.
3. When an approaching vehicle from the rear is detected the
moment the door is opened, the
"Watch for traffic" warning mes-
sage appears on the cluster and a
warning sounds.
The above 2 and 3 functions are activated when you select ‘Driver
Assistance →Blind-Spot Safety →
Safe Exit Assistance (SEA)’ from
the User Settings mode in the clus-
ter LCD display. The Electronic child safety lock
system will operate for approxi-
mately 10 minutes after the ignition
key is removed or turned to the
LOCK (or OFF) position. After
about 10 minutes, the indicator on
the switch turns off and you cannot
deactivate the Electronic child
safety lock system. To deactivate
the Electronic child safety lock sys-
tem, press the Electronic child safe-
ty lock switch again with the ignition
switch in the ON position or after
starting the engine.
When the power is supplied again after removing the battery or bat-
tery discharge while the child safe-
ty lock is in the lock position, press
the child safety lock switch once
again to match the state of the indi-
cator on the child safety lock switch
and actual status of the Electronic
child safety lock system.
If the airbag is activated while the child safety lock switch is ON (the
indicator on the switch illuminates)
it automatically switches OFF and
the rear door is unlocked.

To charge a cellular phone
The wireless cellular phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
cellular phones ( ). Read the label
on the cellular phone accessory
cover or visit your cellular phone
manufacturer's website to check
whether your cellular phone supports
the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled cellular
phone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including thesmart key, from the wireless charg-
ing unit. If not, the wireless charg-
ing process may be interrupted.
Place the cellular phone on the
center of the charging pad ( ).
2. The indicator light is orange when the cellular phone is charging. The
indicator light turns green when
phone charging is complete.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wire- less charging function in the user
settings mode on the instrument
cluster. For further information,
refer to the "LCD Display Modes"
in this chapter. If your cellular phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the
cellular phone on the charging
pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is orange.
The indicator light will blink orange for
10 seconds if there is a malfunction in
the wireless charging system.
In this case, temporarily stop the
charging process, and re-attempt to
charge your cellular phone again.
The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display if the cellular
phone is still on the wireless charging
unit after the engine is turned OFF
and the front door is opened.
Information
For some manufacturers' cellular
phones, the system may not warn you
even though the cellular phone is left
on the wireless charging unit. This is
due to the particular characteristic of
the cellular phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging. The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
When placing your cellular phone on the charging mat,
position the phone in the middle
of the mat for optimal charging
performance. If your cellular
phone is off to the side, the
charging rate may be less and in
some cases the cellular phone
may experience higher heat con-
duction.
In some cases, the wireless charging may stop temporarily
when the Remote Key or Smart
Key is used, either when starting
the vehicle or locking/unlocking
the doors, etc.
When charging certain cellular phones, the charging indicator
may not change to green when
the cellular phone is fully
charged.
