Important! Read this information about
exposure to radio frequency signals
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in
your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by the
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.
ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
NCRP (National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]
ICNIRP (International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]
Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of
the relevant scientific literature. Over

ditions, outside temperature, vehicle
speed, etc. Use the display screen
as a reference.
If a 12-volt battery terminal is dis-
connected and re connected, the
steering amount display may be dis-
abled temporarily. After driving the
vehicle for a while, the display will be
enabled.
■Speedometer
Displays the vehicle speed.
■Tire inflation pressure
Displays inflation pressure of each tire.
The inflation pressure of the spare tire will
not be displayed.
■Vehicle sway warning
Detects the sway of the vehicle within a
lane, which is often associated with a
decrease in the driver’s attention level
and alerts the driver.
This display is a part of the LTA (Lane
Tracing Assist) system or LDA (Lane
Departure Alert with steering control)
system. The display is enabled when
the operating conditions of the vehicle
sway warning are met. ( P.222, 231)
■Display off
A blank screen is displayed.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressure after the power
switch is turned to ON mode. It may also
take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure has
been adjusted.
●“--” may be displayed if the tire informa-
tion cannot be determined due to unfa- vorable radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with tem-
perature. The displaye
d values may also
be different from the values measured
using a tire pressure gauge.

12-volt battery terminals
The drive information will be reset.

●When an external radio wave source
interferes with the communication
between the vehicle and electronic key
( P.128)

ceiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing and
holding .
Confirm that the elec tronic key indicator
flashes 4 times. While the battery-saving
mode is set, the smar t access system with
push-button start cannot be used. To cancel
the function, press any of the electronic key
buttons.
■Conditions affe cting operation
The smart access system with push-button
start, wireless remote control and immobi-
lizer system use weak radio waves. In the
following situations, the communication
between the electronic key and the vehicle
may be affected, preventing the smart
access system with push -button start, wire-
less remote control and immobilizer system
from operating properly. (Ways of coping:
P.412)
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio stat ion, large display,
airport or other faci lity that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When the electronic key is in contact
with, or is covered by the following metal-
lic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil
inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless ke ys (that emit radio
waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that
emit radio waves

metallic objects are attached to the rear
window
●When the electronic key is placed near a
battery charger or electronic devices
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the
effective range (detection areas), the sys-
tem may not operate properly in the fol-
lowing cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the win-
dow or outside door handle, near the
ground, or in a high place when the doors
are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear
bumper center when the back door is
opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage room, floor, or in the door
pockets or glove box when the hybrid
system is started or power switch modes
are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of
the instrument panel or near the door
pockets when exiting the vehicle.
Depending on the radio wave reception
conditions, it may be detected by the
antenna outside the cabin and the door
will become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic key
inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within the
effective range, the doors may be locked
or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the
vehicle, it may be po ssible to start the
hybrid system if the el ectronic key is near
