Driving
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
• When the sensor is frozen (Once the
sensor thaws, the system will return to
normal)
●Vehicle surroundings
• When an object that cannot be
detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
• If an object such as a vehicle, motor-
cycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in
front of the vehicle or runs out from
the side of the vehicle
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of
other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the
vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic compo-
nent, such as a backlit license plate
(especially fluorescent type), fog
lights, fender pole or wireless antenna
is installed near a sensor
●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has been
changed due to a collision or other
impact
• When equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a bumper
protector (an additional trim strip,
etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
• If the suspension has been modified
or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
• If a sensor has been painted or cov-
ered with a sticker, etc.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
●When there are spinning objects near
your vehicle such as the fans of an air conditioning unit
●When water is splashed or sprayed toward the rear bumper, such as from a sprinkler
■Situations in which the Parking
Support Brake function (rear-cross- ing vehicles) may not operate prop-erly
In some situations, such as the follow- ing, the radar sensors may not detect an object and this function may not operate
properly
●Stationary objects
●When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold
●If the rear bumper is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc.
●When it is raining heavily or water strikes the vehicle
●When the detection area of a radar sensor is obstructed by an adjacent
vehicle
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi- tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●If an electronic component, such as a
backlit license plate (especially fluo- rescent type), fog lights, fender pole
or wireless antenna is installed near a
radar sensor
●If the orientation of a radar sensor has
been changed
●When multiple vehicles are approach-
ing with only a small gap between each vehicle
●If a vehicle is approaching the rear of your vehicle rapidly
●Situations in which the radar sensor may not detect a vehicle• When a vehicle approaches from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle while you are turning while backing up• When turning while backing up
• When backing out of a shallow angle parking spot
• When backing up on a slope with a sharp change in grade

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and
reducing driving torque when trailer
sway is detected.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■Secondary Collision Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the
TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems
are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the TRC system may reduce
power from the engine to the wheels.
Pressing to turn the system off may
make it easier for you to rock the vehicle
in order to free it.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly
press and release .
The “Traction Control Turned OFF” will
be shown on the multi-information dis-
play.
Press again to turn the system
back on.
