The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
provides the driver with information
about the most recently detected speed
limit. The system captures the road sign
information with the multi-sensing front
camera unit
located on the windshield
above the inside mirror and displays the
detected signs in the vehicle information
display. For vehicles equipped with navi-
gation system, the speed limit displayed is
based on a combination of navigation
system data and live camera recognition.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to
be a support device to provide the
driver with information. It is not a
replacement for the driver’s atten-
tion to traffic conditions or respon-
sibility to drive safely. It cannot
prevent accidents due to careless-
ness. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert and drive safely at all
times.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The TSR system displays the following
types of road sign:

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-BI
system could result in serious injury
or death.
.
The I-BI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dure, is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects
and does not provide full brake
power. When backing out of park-
ing spaces, always use the inside
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the I-
BI system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar or the
sonar. Using the I-BI system un-
der some road, ground, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own operation
to avoid accidents.
The I-BI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind
the vehicle when the driver is backing out
of a parking space.

INTELLIGENT BACK-UP
INTERVENTION (I-BI) (if so equipped)
.The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect
every object such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
or child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain
situations:
— Illustration a. When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration b. When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking
space.
— Illustration c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
— Illustration d. When an ap- proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles: — Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The sonar sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft
(30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. The brake engagement by the I-
BI system is not as effective on a
slope as it is on flat ground. When
on a steep slope the system may
not function properly.
. Do not use the I-BI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function properly.
— When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
. When towing a trailer or other
vehicle, turn the I-BI system off to
prevent the occurrence of an un-
expected accident resulting from
sudden system operation. (See “I-
BI system operation” (P.5-65).)
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

hilly roads or when entering or exiting a
curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle condition (for example,
if a vehicle is being driven with some
damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above
44 MPH (70 km/h) and following a slower
vehicle (below the vehicle set speed), and
the turn signal is activated to the left, the
ICC system will automatically start to
accelerate the vehicle to help initiate
passing on the left and will begin to
reduce the distance to vehicle directly
ahead. Only the left side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the
ICC system will continue to accelerate to
the vehicle set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will
accelerate up to the following speed of
that vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered
into the left lane to pass, the acceleration
will stop after a short time and regain the
set following distance. Acceleration can
be stopped at any point by depressingthe brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a
collision that may result in serious
injury or death, please be aware of
the following:
.
This function is only activated
with the left turn signal and will
briefly accelerate the vehicle even
if a lane change is not initiated.
This can include non-passing si-
tuations such as left side exits.
. Ensure that when passing an-
other vehicle, the adjacent lane
is clear before initiating the pass.
Sudden changes in traffic may
occur while passing. Always
manually steer or brake as
needed. Never solely rely on the
system.
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following
conditions and the control is automati-
cally canceled.
.When the vehicle ahead is not de-
tected and your vehicle is traveling
below the speed of 15 MPH (25 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the SNOW mode switch is
pushed on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models)
. When the VDC system is turned off
