5-5. Using the driving support systems
Normal mode
Suitable for normal driving.
When normal mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” and “PWR MODE”
indicators turn off.
Power mode
Suitable for when crisp handling and enhanced accelerator
response are desired, such as when driving on mountainous roads .
When power mode is selected, the “PWR MODE” indicator will illu mi-
nate on the main display.
Eco drive mode
Suitable for driving that impro ves fuel economy by generating
torque in response to accelerator pedal operations more smoothl y
than in normal mode.
When Eco drive mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” indicator will illumi-
nate on the main display.
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatically
switches to air conditioning eco mode (P. 503, 514), allowing for driv-
ing that leads to even better fuel economy.
■ The driving mode after turning the power switch off
The driving mode will not be changed automatically until the switch is
pressed, even if the power switch is turned off.

■The BSM outside rear view mi rror indicators visibility
When under strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indica tor may be dif-
ficult to see.
■ The Rear Cross Traffic Alert buzzer hearing
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert buzzer may be difficult to hear ov er loud noises
such as high audio volume.
■ When “Blind Spot Monitor Unavailable” is shown on the multi-inf orma-
tion display
The sensor voltage has become abnormal, water, snow mud, etc., may be
built up in the vicinity of the sensor area of bumper ( P. 424). Removing the
water, snow, mud, etc., from the vicinity of the sensor area bu mper should
return it to normal. Also, the sensor may not function normally when used in

system does not automatically return to on even when the hybrid system is
restarted.)
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the displays and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding ar ea when using this system.

• The detection range is shown in
the illustration to the right. How-
ever, the sensor will not detect
the obstacle if it is too close.
• For details regarding obstacle detection in the side areas.
(P. 438)
• The distance at which an obsta- cle can be detected and whether
it can be detected depends on
the shape and condition of the
obstacle.
The obstacle detecti on range can be changed. ( P. 7 4 1 )
■Operation conditions
The power switch is turned on.
●Front corner sensors:
• Shift position is not in P
• Vehicle speed is approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or less
● Front side sensors/rear side sensors:
• Shift position is not in P
• Vehicle speed is approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or less
• Steering wheel is turned approximately 90  or more
● Front center sensors:
• Shift position is not in P or R
• Vehicle speed is approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or less

■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sens or.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and disp lay. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obstacle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is within the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer. ( P. 435, 436)
■ Obstacle detection in side areas
●Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scann ing the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after driving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
● When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected e ven after it
has left the side sensor detection area. Obstacle
