WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist:
• Always exercise extreme caution
while driving. The driver is
responsible for braking and safe
driving.
• Always pay attention to road and
traffic conditions while driving,
whether or not there is a warning.
• Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no pedestrians
or objects before moving the vehicle.
• The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist may
vary under certain conditions. If
vehicle speed is above 2 mph (4
km/h), Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist will provide
collision avoidance assist only when
pedestrians are detected. Always
look around and pay attention when
backing up your vehicle.
• Some objects may not be detected
by the rear ultrasonic sensors due
to the objects distance, size or
material, all of which can limit the
effectiveness of the sensor.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate properly
or may operate unnecessarily
depending on the road conditions
and the surroundings.
• Do not solely rely on Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist. Doing
so may lead to vehicle damage or
injuries.
CAUTION
• Noise may be heard when sudden
braking occurs to avoid a collision.
• If any other warning sound such
as the seat belt warning chime is
already generated, Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
may not sound.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not work properly if the
bumper has been damaged, replaced
or repaired.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent passengers
from hearing Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
sounds.
• Turn off Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist when towing a
trailer. If towing and moving in
reverse, Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist will activate as it
detects the trailer.
• The brake control may not operate
properly depending on the status of
ESC (Electronic Stability Control).
There will only be a warning when:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light is on
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
engaged in a different function

NOTICE
External power source using 12V battery
The use of external power accessories
may reduce performance and function
of the vehicle. Especially, the use of
dash cameras may shut off the power of
the vehicle prior to the dash camera’s
automatic shut-down.
If the power of the vehicle is shut off,
start the vehicle as explained. (refer to
“Using the 12V Battery Reset Switch”)
Jump Starting
In the event vehicle still does not have a
functional 12V battery (check if interior
lights will not turn on) then you can try
a jump start to the engine compartment
jumper terminals using a 12V booster
pack or jumper cables from another
vehicle’s 12V battery according to the
following instructions.
CAUTION
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service do
it for you.
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
Avoid fans or any moving parts in the
engine compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
2. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning, etc.
Put the vehicles in P (Park) and set the
parking brake. Turn both vehicles OFF.
CAUTION
Before jump starting, make sure to
correctly identify the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals to avoid reverse
polarity connections.

Emergency Situations8-22
9. With the vehicle ON ( indicator ON), switch on
the compressor and let it run for
approximately 5~7 minutes to fill
the sealant up to proper pressure.
(Refer to “Tire and Wheels” section
in chapter2). The inflation pressure of
the tire after filling is unimportant and
will be checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the tire
and stay away from the tire when
filling it.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 200 kpa (29
psi). This could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
10. Switch off the compressor.
11. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage
location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not leave your vehicle running in
a poorly ventilated area for extended
periods of time. Carbon monoxide
poisoning and suffocation can occur.
Distributing the sealant
OOSH079022L
12. Immediately drive approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10 minutes)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h). If possible, do not fall below a
speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off of the
side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.

Emergency Situations8-24
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
