SEA (Safe Exit Assist)*
The Safe Exit Assist is a sys-
tem that uses radar sensors
installed on the inner side of
the rear bumper to help occu-
pants judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may collide
with a door to reduce the pos-
sibility of a collision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings.
●Safe Exit Assist is a supplementary system that, when the vehicle is stopped, informs occupants of the
existence of approaching vehicles and bicycles. As this system alone cannot be used to judge safety,
over-reliance on this system may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor- rectly under certain conditions, visual confirmation of safety with
the passengers’ own eyes and mir- rors is necessary.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the safety of the surroundings of the vehi-cle.
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur-
roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive carefully, taking care to observe your sur-roundings. The Parking Support
Brake system is designed to pro- vide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not
operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system
is not designed to stop the vehicle completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it
is necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately
2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check
the system operations by intention- ally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never
attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup- port Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied 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
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow-ing eyelet, bumper protector (an
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used
