Front air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated air bags
would not provide any additional benefit.
OCN7030049
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
OCN7030053
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.
OCN7030054
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 “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.

• Detecting vehicle
OTM070003
If the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward from
the cab, or when the vehicle in front
of you has higher ground clearance,
additional special attention is
required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not be able
to detect the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance from the rearmost object,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
WARNING
• When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
turned off due to safety reasons.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may operate if objects that are
similar in shape or characteristics
to vehicles and pedestrians are
detected.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate on bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled
objects, such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers. •
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not operate for 15 seconds after
the vehicle is started, or the front
view camera is initialized.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following three
conditions:
1.
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2.
This device must accept any
interference r

eceived, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
3.
Changes or modifications not expr

essly
approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the device.
Information
Radio frequency radiation exposure
information:
This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and
operated with minimum distance of 8 in.
(20 cm) between the radiator (antenna)
and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Driver assistance system
7-28
OADAS031[A] : Your vehicle, [B] : Lane changing vehicle,
[C] : Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the vehicle that
is now in front of you. In this case,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, steer your
vehicle and depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.•

Emergency Situations
8-18
When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tire pressure after installing
the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 60 psi
(420 kPa).
• Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at a time.
NOTICE
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the lug nut torque must be set correctly.
The correct lug nut tightening torque is
79~94 lbf·ft (11~13 kgf·m).
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle:
• Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm).
• Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.
