381-1. For safe use
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on  the  US  motor  vehicle  safety  standards  (FMVSS208).  The  airbag
sensor  assembly  (ECU)  controls  airbag  deployment  based  on  infor-
mation  obtained  from  the  sensors,  etc.,  shown  in  the  system  com po-
nents  diagram  above.  This  informat ion  includes  crash  severity  and
occupant  information.  As  the  airbags  deploy,  a  chemical  reactio n  in
the inflators quickly fills the  airbags with non-toxic gas to h elp restrain
the motion of t he occupants.

■When  multiple  obstacles  are  detected  in  front  and  behind  the
vehicle at the same time
The buzzer will change in the following manner.
● If an obstacle has been detected within 1.5 ft. (45 cm) of the  front
or 2.8 ft. (85 cm) in rear of t he  vehicle  (a  continuous  buzzer  is
sounding), and a new obstacle is  detected at the other end of the
vehicle, the buzzer w ill sound 7 times then  1 continuous buzzer.
● If an obstacle has been detected within 1.5 ft. (45 cm) of the  front
or 2.8 ft. (85 cm) in rear of t he  vehicle  (a  continuous  buzzer  is
sounding), and a new obstacle is detected in the same way at th e
other  end  of  the  vehicle,  the  buzzer  will  sound  3  times  then  1
continuous buzzer.
■Detection range of the sensors
Approximately 5.9 ft. (180 cm)
Approximately 2.8 ft. (85 cm)
The  diagram  shows  the  detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors  may  not  be  able  to  detect
obstacles  that  are  extremely  close
to the vehicle.
The  range  of  the  sensors  may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
