5-4. Using the driving support systems
●When a pedestrian is wearing clothing
that does not reflect ultrasonic waves (ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-lar to the ground, not perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction,
uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●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
●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 towing eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is
malfunctioning
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire
or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
■Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow- ing, the system may operate even
though there is no possibility of a colli- sion.
●When driving on a narrow road
●When driving toward a banner, flag,
low-hanging branch or boom barrier (such as those used at railroad cross-ings, toll gates and parking lots)
●When there is a rut or hole in the sur-face of the road
●When driving on a metal cover (grat-ing), such as those used for drainage
ditches
●When driving up or down a steep
slope
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of
water, such as when driving on a flooded road
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When strong winds are blowing
●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 the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load

Driving
ing such as a rain coat, long skirt, etc.,
making their silhouette obscure • Pedestrians whose body is partially hidden by an object, such as a cart or
umbrella • Pedestrians which are obscured by darkness, such as at night
●In some situations, such as the follow-ing, pedestrians may not be detected
by the rear camera detection function, preventing the function from operating properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)• When the rear camera is obscured
(dirt, snow, ice, etc., are attached) or scratched• When a very bright light, such as the
sun, or the headlights of another vehi- cle, shines directly into the rear cam-era
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes sud-denly, such as at the entrance or exit
of a garage or underground parking lot• When backing up in a dim environ-
ment such as during dusk or in an underground parking lot• When the camera position and direc-
tion are deviated • When a towing hook is attached• When water droplets are flowing on
the camera lens • When the vehicle height is extremely changed (nose up, nose down)
• When tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used• When the rear washer is operating
• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified are installed.
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate or rear fog light, is installed near the rear camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper
■Situations in which the system may
operate unexpectedly
●Even though there are no pedestrians
in the detection area, some objects,
such as the following, may be detected, possibly causing the rear camera detection function to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehicle
• Moving objects, such as a car or motorcycle• Objects moving toward your vehicle
when backing up, such as flags or puddles (or airborne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow)
• Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram rails, road repairs, white lines, pedes-trian crossings or fallen leaves on the
road • Metal covers (gratings), such as those used for drainage ditches
• Objects reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface• Shadows on the road
●In some situations, such as the follow-ing, the rear camera detection func-
tion may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area.
• When backing up toward the roadside or a bump on the road• When backing up toward an
incline/decline • If the rear of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper
• If the orientation of the rear camera has been changed• If a towing eyelet is installed to the
rear of the vehicle • When water is flowing over the rear camera lens
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc., are attached) or scratched
• If there is a flashing light in the detec- tion area, such as the emergency flashers of another vehicle
• When a tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
●Situations in which the rear camera detection function may be difficult to

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
From the front (AWD models)
Use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
From the rear
Use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
2WD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
the front wheels raised or with all four
wheels raised off the ground. If the
vehicle is towed with the front wheels
contacting the ground, the drivetrain
and related parts may be damaged or
electricity generated by the operation
of the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the power
switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for short distances at under 30
km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
WARNING
AWD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con-
tacting the ground, the drivetrain or
related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation of
the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Right-hand drive vehicles: Do not
tow the vehicle from the rear when the power switch is OFF. The steer-ing lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck to prevent body damage.
