Do not rely excessively on Pre-Colli-
sion Throttle Management. Pre-Colli-
sion Throttle Management is not
designed to help you avoid collisions in all situations. Always check the
shift lever and pedal positions as well
as the surrounding environment before starting and operating the
vehicle. Relying only on Pre-Collision
Throttle Management could result in an accident.
●Pre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the
vehicle in a stopped condition.
●Pre-Collision Throttle Management
will not reduce acceleration under
all conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
●Pre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is
detected in front. However, this
function will not reduce acceleration in cases where no obstacle is
detected (for example when
approaching a cliff, etc.).
●Do not intentionally depress the
accelerator pedal excessively when there are obstacles nearby. If the
driver relies only on Pre-Collision
Throttle Management to control acceleration, col lisions may occur.
●If your vehicle is trapped on a rail- road crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the
crossing gate, the stereo camera may recognize the crossing gate as
an obstacle and Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm
and either continue to depress the
accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision Throttle Management
system. (P.212)
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
may not activate depending on the
following conditions:
●The distance between your vehicle
and the obstacle, speed difference, and horizontal offset
●Recognition status of the stereo camera
In particular, the function may not acti-
vate in the fo llowing cases:
• Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• Visibility is poor due to sand or
smoke in the air.
• Light is poor in the evening, early
morning, or at night.
• In a dark area (indoor parking area,
etc.)
• There is an obstacle outside the
area illuminated by the headlights.
• Strong light is coming from the front
(for example sunlight at sunrise or
sunset headlight beams, etc.).
• The windshield has become
fogged, scratched or smeared, or
snow, dirt, dust or frost has adhered to it, or it is otherwise affected.
These will reduce the stereo cam-
era’s field of view. Also, light is reflecting off the dirt, etc.

■Lane Change Assist (LCA)
The system notifies the driver of
vehicles approaching at a high
speed in the neighboring lanes.
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching at a high speed in
the neighboring lanes, it warns
the driver of dan gers by illumi-
nating the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator(s) on the outside mir-
ror(s).
If the driver operates the turn sig-
nal lever in the direction where
the BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor is illuminati ng, the system
warns the driver of dangers by
flashing the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator.

■Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)
The system notifies the driver of
another vehicle approaching from
either side when driving in reverse.
This feature helps the driver check
the rear and side areas of the vehi-
cle when moving backward.
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching from either side while
moving backward, it warns the
driver of dangers in the following
way.
The BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor(s) on the outside mirror(s)
flashes.
A warning buzzer sounds.
An icon appears on the multime-
dia system screen.

Limitations of the detectability of
RCTA
Since the detectability of RCTA is
limited, the RCTA may not operate
properly in angled parking.

rear bumper near the sonar sensor.
• The rear bumper is modified. • The rear bumper has been removed
and attached.
• The ground clearance is changed due to the vehicle’s loading condition or
modification.
• There is damage to the sonar sensors or the rear bumper near the sonar
sensor.
• The rear bumper is exposed to strong impact, or the rear bumper is
deformed.
●On a steep hill, the system’s auto-
matic braking ability will be reduced.
●The system is designed to avoid colli-
sions by automatic hard braking when
the vehicle’s reversing speed is less than approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
However, the system does not guar-
antee that the vehicle will be able to avoid collisions in any situation.
●If the vehicle is reversed at an extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In this
case, automatic braking will not oper- ate.
●The system may not be able to detect and apply the brake with the following
objects.
• Sharp or thin objects such as poles, fences and ropes which may not
reflect the sound wave emitted from
the sonar sensor. • Objects that are too close to the rear
bumper when the shift lever is set to
R. • Objects with a surface which may not
reflect the sound wave emitted from
the sonar sensor such as a chain link
fence.
●Objects the system is not designed to
detect and apply brake. • Pedestrians.
• Moving objects including moving vehi-
cles. • Objects which absorbs sound waves
such as cloth or snow.
• Objects whose surface has a diagonal
angle. • Objects that are low to the ground
such as parking blocks.
• Objects that are high above the ground such as objects hanging from
above.
• Objects that are out of range of the center of the vehicle in the horizontal
direction.
• Objects that are not in a vertical direc- tion.
• Objects which are not perpendicular
to the ground. • Objects which are not directly in the
traveling direction of the vehicle.
• Objects which are uneven or wavy.
●When reversing the vehicle, the func-
tions may not be able to work properly or may cause a system malfunction if
the following conditions exist.
High frequency sound from other
sources are nearby:
• Horn sound from another vehicle. • Engine sound from other vehicles.
• Sound of an air brake.
• Vehicle detection equipment or a sonar from another vehicle.
• A sound wave with a frequency similar
to the vehicle’s system is transmitted near by.
• A vehicle equipped with the same sys-
tem is reversing toward your reversing direction.
●Weather conditions:• Extremely high or extremely low tem-
peratures in which the area near the
sonar sensor becomes too hot or too cold to operate.
• The sonar sensors or the rear bumper
near the sonar sensors are exposed to heavy rain or a significant amount
of water.
• Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
• Air is moving rapidly such as when a strong wind is blowing.

are met, the rear view image will be
canceled: • The shift lever is sh ifted to P (vehicles
with an automatic transmission)
• The vehicle speed becomes approxi- mately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more
• The parking brake is engaged
• 9 seconds have elapsed since the shift lever was shifted from R to
another position
To turn the function on and off, refer to “Multimedia owner’s manual”.
●It may be difficult to see the image of the rear view camera in the following
cases. This is not a malfunction of the
camera. • The vehicle is in a dark place (at night,
in a tunnel, etc.).
• The vehicle is in an extremely hot or cold place.
• An object (such as raindrops, snow,
dirt, etc.) that disturbs the view of the rear view camera sticks to the lens of
the camera.
• Strong light is shining directly on the camera lens (occasionally, there are
vertical lines on the screen).
The area from the rear end of the
bumper can be viewed. Areas at
both ends of the bumper and areas
just under the bumper cannot be
viewed.
Also, the image from the rear view
camera looks shorter than the
actual distance.

■Hill-start assist control precau- tions
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist
control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not
attempt to use hill-start assist con-
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
●Do not stop the engine while
hill-start assist control is operating,
as hill-start assist control will stop operating, possibly leading to an
accident.
