Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags and the driver's knee
air bag are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the the
severity of impact of the front colli-
sion.
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.

Safety system of your vehicle
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.
Information
Front air bags do not inflate in
rollover accidents. However, side
impact and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover, when it is detect-
ed by the rollover sensor.

Information
• The doors may unlock if the inner
sensor of the outer door handle is
recognized while washing your car
or due to heavy rain. However, the
doors are automatically locked in 30
seconds unless a door is opened
after they are unlocked.
• The doors may not unlock if you put
your hand in the outside door han-
dle with gloves on.
• The doors may not unlock if you
suddenly approach the door and put
your hand in the outside door han-
dle.
Opening the trunk
To unlock and open the trunk:
1. Make sure you have the smart key
in your possession.
2. Press either the trunk open switch
on the outside of the trunk or
press and hold the Trunk Unlock
button (3) on the smart key for
more than one second. The haz-
ard warning lights will blink two
times and the trunk will open.
3. Once the trunk is opened and then
closed, the trunk will automatically
re-lock after 30 seconds.
Information
The trunk open switch will only oper-
ate when the smart key is within 28
inches (0.7 m) from the trunk.
Panic button
Press and hold the Panic button (4)
for more than one second. The horn
sounds and hazard warning lights
blink for about 30 seconds. To cancel
the panic mode, press any button on

inserting the key.
For more information, refer to the
"Engine Start/Stop Button" section
in chapter 5.
To prevent damaging the smart
key:
• Keep the smart key in a cool, dry
place to avoid damage or mal-
function. Exposure to moisture
or high temperature may cause
the internal circuit of the smart
key to malfunction which may
not be covered under warranty.
• Avoid dropping or throwing the
smart key.
• Protect the smart key from
extreme temperatures.
Always have the smart key with
you when leaving the vehicle. If
the smart key is left near the vehi-

Safe Exit Assist (SEA) System
(If equipped)
Once the system decides it is danger-
ous for a passenger to open a vehicle
door by sensing the approaching of a
vehicle from behind when the person
is opening the door, the warning mes-
sage “Watch for traffic” appears and
the alarming sound will continue for
maximum of five seconds.
This function works for ten minutes
even after the ignition is turned off.
The function will be released as soon
as the vehicle doors are locked with
the smart key.
The alarming sound will continue
while the Safe Exit Assist system is
in activation.
The Safe Exit Assist system is acti-
vated when you select ‘Setup →
Vehicle Settings →Driver Assistance
→Blind-Spot Safety →Safe Exit
Assist’ from the Settings menu in the
AVN system screen.
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
simple manual.
OHI048561L
If a vehicle is approaching from
behind is too fast or a door is
opened too suddenly the alarm
system may not set off in time,
which can increase the chance
of an accident. Therefore, when
exiting the vehicle, always check
your surroundings to make sure
that there are no vehicles or
objects approaching.
WARNING
The safe Exist Assist system
may not operate normally when a
vehicle is coming 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 Exist Assist system
may be activated later than nor-
mal or may not operate normally
if a vehicle is approaching fast
from the rear of your vehicle.
The Safe Exist Assist system will
not operate if there is a malfunc-
tion with the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system as follows:
- When the BCW warning mes-
sage 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/Blind-
Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist” in chapter 5.

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 Gentex
website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmit-
ters with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door open-
ers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both stan-
dard and rolling code-equipped trans-
mitters can be programmed by follow-
ing the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®buttons be erased for
security purposes.
Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use the
HomeLink
®with any garage
door opener that lacks the safe-
ty stop and reverse features
required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any
garage door opener model man-
ufactured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect
an object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
