To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
•ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be prop-
erly belted whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. For more infor-
mation, refer to "Seat Belts" in
chapter 2.
Always drive defensively.
Assume other drivers or pedes-
trians may be careless and
make mistakes.
Stay focused on the task of
driving. Driver distraction can
cause accidents.
Leave plenty of space between
you and the vehicle in front of
you.
WARNING
5-70
Driving your vehicle
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors. (1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) The Lane Change Assist feature
will alert you when a vehicle is
approaching in an adjacent lane
at a high rate of speed. If the driv-
er activates the turn signal when
the system detects an oncoming
vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert. The time of alert
varies according to the speed dif-
ference between you and the
approaching vehicle.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-
ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
in reverse. The feature will operate
when the vehicle is moving in
reverse below about 10 km/h (6
mph). If oncoming cross traffic is
detected a warning chime will
sound. The time of alert varies according
to the speed difference between
you and the approaching vehicle.

Second stage alert
A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar system
(the warning light will illuminate on the outside rearview mirror) AND
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).

Information
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
detecting range is approximately
0.5 m ~ 20 m (1 ft ~ 65 ft). An
approaching vehicle will be detected if
their vehicle speed is within 4 km/h ~
36 km/h (2.5 ~ 22.5 mph ).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings when
backing up your vehicle.
Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outside rearview mirror
will blink and a message will appear
on the LCD display.
Information
• The warning chime will turn offwhen the detected vehicle moves out
of the sensing area or when the vehi-
cle is right behind your vehicle or
when the vehicle is not approaching
your way or when the speed of the
other vehicle slows down.
• The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surrounding.
• If the sensing area near the rear bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced.
Information
Turn off the system by pressing the
BSD switch and deselecting Rear
Cross Traffic Alert from the User
Settings mode on the cluster when
using a trailer or carrier behind your
vehicle.

Driving your vehicle The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
Or when the road is wide, the
system may not detect other
vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
The outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged.
The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is tinted.
NOTICE
(Continued)
The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving. (Continued)

The SLIF displays the speed limit
information and overtaking restric-
tion through the instrument cluster
and the navigation. The SLIF reads
the traffic signs through the camera,
which is attached on the upper part
of the inner front windshield.
The SLIF also utilizes the navigation
information to display the speed limit
information.

Do not arbitrarily modify or
manipulate the multi-function
camera. Do not apply strong
impact.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,

Speed Limit Information
Function (SLIF) is only a sup-
plemental system and is not
always able to correctly dis-
play speed limits and overtak-
ing restrictions.
The driver still holds the
responsibility not to exceed
the maximum speed limit.
Do not install any accessories
and stickers. Do not tint the
front windshield, especially
near the rearview mirror.
The SLIF detects the traffic
signs through the camera to
display the speed limit infor-
mation.
Therefore, the SLIF may not
properly operate, when it is
hard to detect the traffic signs.
For further details, please
refer to the "Limitations of the
system".

WARNING
5-106
Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects lane lines on the road, and
assists the driver's steering to help
keep the vehicle between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

The Lane Keeping Assist
System is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS):
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system.
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
LKAS prevents the driver
from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver's steering. However,
the driver should not solely
rely on the system but always
pay attention on the steering
wheel to stay in the lane.
Always check the road condi-
tion and surroundings and be
cautious when the system
cancels, does not operate or
malfunctions.
Do not install any accessories
and stickers. Do not tint the
front windshield, especially
near the rearview mirror.
The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines are hard to
detect, the system may not
work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".(Continued)
