WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of
these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious
injury, should the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy.
● If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag w ill deploy,
be sure to remove it.
● Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag inflate as they may interfe re with
inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side air-
bags and seat cushion airbag from activating correctly, disable the system
or cause the side airbags and seat cushion airbag to inflate accidentally,
resulting in death or serious injury.
● Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components or the front doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
● Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger
and knee airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such as
a door, windshield, side windows, front
or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist
grip.

WARNING
■Before using the head-up display
● Check that the position and brightness of the head-up display i mage does
not interfere with safe driving. Incorrect adjustment of the image’s position
or brightness may obstruct the driver’s view and lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
● Do not continuously look at the head-up display while driving a s you may
fail to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to components
● Do not place any drinks near the head-
up display projector. If the projector gets
wet, electrical malfunctions may result.
● Do not place anything on or put stickers
onto the head-up display projector.
Doing so could interrupt head-up dis-
play indications.
● Do not touch the inside of the head-up
display projector or thrust sharp edges
or the like into the projector.
Doing so could cause mechanical mal-
functions.

Driving
■Objects which the system may not properly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay partic-
ular attention to the following objects:
● Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
● Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
● Sharply-angled objects
● Low objects
● Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the dir ection of your
vehicle
■ Situations in which the syst em may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
● There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
● A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem .) In espe-
cially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display m ay be displayed
abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
● On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
● When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
● If objects draw too close to the sensor.
● When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ult rasonic waves
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
● When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the d etection range.
● Strong wind is blowing
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandst orm
● When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle a nd a
detected object
● If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front
of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle
●
When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
● N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’autres objets rigides sur les c rochets
porte-vêtements. Tous ces objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles
et vous occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, en cas de
déploiement des coussins gonflables SRS en rideau.
● Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé sur la zone de déploieme nt du
coussin gonflable SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
● N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les cous-
sins gonflables SRS latéraux et le coussin gonflable SRS du coussin de
siège se déploient, car ces accessoires pourraient entraver le déploiement
des coussins SRS. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins
gonflables latéraux et le coussin gonflable du coussin de siège de se
déployer correctement, rendre le système inopérant ou provoquer acci-
dentellement le déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux et du cous-
sin gonflable du coussin de siège, occasionnant des blessures g raves,
voire mortelles.
● Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une pression importante à l’e mplace-
ment des portières avant ou des composants des coussins gonflables
SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gonflables
SRS.
● Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussins gonflables SRS immédi ate-
ment après leur déploiement (gonflage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
● Ne fixez et n’appuyez rien sur des
zones telles que la planche de bord, le
tampon de volant ou encore la partie
inférieure du tableau de bord.
Ces objets peuvent se transformer en
projectiles lorsque les coussins gon-
flables SRS du conducteur, du passa-
ger avant et de protection des genoux
se déploient.
● Ne fixez rien sur des zones telles que
les portières, le pare-brise, les glaces
latérales, les montants avant ou arrière,
le brancard de pavillon et la poignée de
maintien.
