■Assistive braking
Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving
between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of
a collision with a detected wall or other ob stacles, as well as providing assistance
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking is not working when reversing.

For directions on the prop er handling of the sonar
sensors, please refer to the following page.

The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a
few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the
vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or
put the transmission into
( P.
In order to prevent the sy stem from activating when
not needed, always turn it off during vehicle
maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so
on, or when using a chassis dynamometer, free
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in

■Assistive driving power suppression
When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an
obstacle such as a wall detected near the front of or back of the vehicle, if the
accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system will inform you with
a visual and audible alert. At the same ti me, the system will prevent sudden forward
or backwards movement by limiting the outpu t of the engine, then assistive braking
will activate nearby the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppr ession will not activate in the following situations.
When moving forward:
When on a steep slope or the shift position is in
(P, (R, or (N.
When reversing:
When on a steep slope or the shift position is in a position other than
(R.
If the only rear sensors are turned off using the parking sensor system, the assistive
driving power suppression is not working when reversing.

Sonar Sensors*
■Location and range of sensors
The sonar sensors are situated in the front and rear bumpers.1Sonar Sensors*
For the sonar sensors to work properly, do not:•Place stickers or other objects on or around the
sensors.
•Hit the area around the sensors.•Attempt to take apart any sensor.
•Put any accessories on or around the sensors.
Consult with a dealer if:
•A sensor has been subjected to shock.
•Work needs to be done to the area around a
sensor.
In the following cases, the sonar sensors may not
work properly. Have your ve hicle checked by a dealer.
•The front or rear bumper has made contact with a
hill, parking block, curb, embankment, etc.
•The vehicle has been involv ed in frontal or rear
collision.
•The vehicle has been driven through a deep
puddle.

Parking Sensor System*
The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the
beeper, driver information interface and audio/informatio n screen let you know the
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.
■The sensor location and range
1 Parking Sensor System*
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is
no obstacle near your ve hicle before parking.
The system may not work properly when:
•The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud or
dirt.
•The vehicle is on uneven su rface, such as grass,
bumps, or a hill.
•The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.•The system is affected by devices that emit
ultrasonic waves.
•Driving in bad weather.
The system may not sense:
•Thin or low objects.•Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton,
or sponge.
•Objects directly under the bumper.
Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.

■Parking sensor system on and off
With the power mode in ON, press the
parking sensor system button to turn on or off
the system. The indicator in the button comes
on when the system is on.
The front corner, rear corner and rear center
sensors start to detect an obstacle when the
transmission is in
(R, and the vehicle speed is
less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The front corner and front center sensors start
to detect an obstacle when the transmission is
in any position other than
