uuWhen Driving uBlind Spot Information System
Driving
■When the system detects a vehicle
Blind spot information system alert indicator: 
Located on the outside door mirror on both 
sides.
Comes on when:
•A vehicle approaches you from behind to 
overtake you at a speed difference of no 
more than about 31 mph (50 km/h).
• You pass a vehicle at a speed difference of 
no more than about 12 mph (20 km/h).
Blinks and a beeper sounds when:
You use the turn signal lever to signal a turn in 
the direction of the detected vehicle while the 
blind spot information system alert indicator is 
on. u The beeper sounds three times.1Blind Spot Information System
For proper blind spot information system operation:
•Always keep the rear  bumper and area around the 
radar sensors clean.
•Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with 
labels or sticke rs of any kind.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an 
object is within the alert zone, the following 
situations may occur:
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator 
does not come on and the message  Blind spot 
information system not available  appears on 
the driver information interface.
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator 
may come on even with  the message displayed.
The Vehicle Stability Assist
TM (VSA ®) system, Adaptive 
Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, safety 
support, low tire pressure/TPMS
*, and parking brake 
and brake system (amber) indicators may come on in 
amber along with a message in the driver information 
interface when you set the power mode to ON after 
reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). 
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your 
vehicle checked by a dealer.

■Assistive braking
Assistive braking provides a  visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving 
between approximately 1 and 6  mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of 
a collision with a detected wall or other ob stacles, as well as providing assistance 
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive 
braking will not work when reversing.

For directions on the prop er handling of the sonar 
sensors, please  refer to the following page.

The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a 
few seconds after the system  is activated. To keep the 
vehicle stopped, keep the  brake pedal depressed or 
put the transmission into 
( P.
In order to prevent the sy stem from activating when 
not needed, always turn it off during vehicle 
maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so 
on, or when using a chas sis dynamometer or free 
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in 
conveyor type car wash machine.
If you put any accessories (such as a bicycle rack) on 
or around the rear sensors, the Low Speed Braking 
Control System may activate if it detects these 
accessories as an obstacle.  In this case, turn off the 
rear sensor.

■Assistive driving power suppression
When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an 
obstacle such as a wall near the front or back of the vehicle, if the accelerator pedal 
is depressed more than necessary, the sy stem will inform you with a visual and 
audible alert. At the same time, the sy stem will prevent sudden forward or 
backwards movement by limiting the output of the power system, then assistive 
braking will activate  when you get closer to the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppression will no t activate in the following situations.
When moving forward:
• When on a steep slope or the shift position is in 
(P, (R, or (N.
When reversing:
• When on a steep slope or the shift position is in a position other than 
(R.
If the rear sensors are turned off using  the parking sensor system, the assistive 
driving power suppression will  not work when reversing.

Sonar Sensors*
■Location and range of sensors
The sonar sensors are situated in the front and rear bumpers.1 Sonar Sensors*
For the sonar sensors to work properly, do not:•Place stickers or other objects on or around the 
sensors.
•Hit the area around the sensors.•Attempt to take apart any sensor.
•Put any accessories on  or around the sensors.
Consult with  a dealer if:
•A sensor has been subjected to shock.
•Work needs to be done to the area around a 
sensor.
In the following cases,  the sonar sensors may not 
work properly. Have your ve hicle checked by a dealer.
•The front or rear bumper has made contact with a 
hill, parking block, curb, embankment, etc.
•The vehicle has been involv ed in a frontal or rear 
collision.
•The vehicle has been driven through a deep 
puddle.

Parking Sensor System*
The corner and center sensors monitor ob stacles around your vehicle, and the 
beeper, driver information interface and a udio/information screen let you know the 
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.
■The sensor location and range
1 Parking Sensor System*
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is 
no obstacle near your ve hicle before parking.
The system may not  work properly when:
•The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or 
dirt.
•The vehicle has been out  in hot or cold weather.
•There is something nearby that emits ultrasonic 
waves or high frequency sounds.
•Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
The system may not de tect these obstacles:
•Thin or low objects.
•Sonic-absorptive materials,  such as snow, cotton, 
or sponge.
•Objects directly under the bumper.
The system may falsely de tect obstacles in the 
following situations:
•The vehicle is on uneven su rface, such as grass, 
bumps, or a hill.
•When close to other vehicl es with sonar sensors or 
other objects that em it ultrasonic waves.
•There is splashing water  near the sensors due to 
heavy rains, etc.
