SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the sonar function. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
• Inclement weather or ultrasonic sources
such as an automatic car wash, a truck’s
compressed-air brakes or a pneumatic
drill may affect the function of the sys-
tem, including reduced performance or a
false activation.
• The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
• The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
• The system may not detect the following
objects:
– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, grass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or
chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects. •
If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system vol-
ume or an open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the tone and it may not be heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at the
corners of the vehicle icon and the function
cannot be activated from the Camera setting
menu (the setting items are grayed out), the
sonar system may be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors (lo-
cated on the front and rear bumper fascia)
free from accumulations of snow, ice and
dirt. Do not scratch the surface of the sonar
sensors when cleaning. If the sensors are
covered, the accuracy of the sonar function
will be diminished.

Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2.
Apply the parking brake and press the park
button to engage the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion. Do not start the engine.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the hazard indi-
cators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. • If the tire is over-inflated more than ap-proximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure,
push the core of the valve stem on the
tire briefly to release pressure. When the
pressure reaches the designated pres-
sure, the horn beeps once.
• If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates
that the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indi-
cator is not operating. • The TPMS will not activate the TPMS
with Tire Inflation Indicator under the
following conditions:– If there is interference from an exter- nal device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation de- vice is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
– The identification code of the tire pressure sensor is not registered to
the system.
– The battery of the tire pressure sensor is low.
• If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator does not operate due to TPMS interfer-
ence, move the vehicle about1m(3ft)
backward or forward and try again.
If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is
not working, use a tire pressure gauge.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than pas-
senger cars to make them capable of per-
forming in a variety of on-pavement and off-
road applications. This gives them a higher center of gravity than ordinary vehicles. An
advantage of higher ground clearance is a
better view of the road, allowing you to an-
ticipate problems. However, they are not de-
signed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional 2-Wheel Drive vehicles any
more than low-slung sports cars are de-
signed to perform satisfactorily under off-
road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp
turns at high speeds. As with other vehicles of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-
nificantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt.
For additional information, see “Driving safety
precautions” (P. 5-10).
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of con-
trol or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive
speed, high speed cornering, or sudden steer-

Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 5: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that ve-
hicle stays in the detection zone for approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.Illustration 6: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes a sound (twice)
and the side indicator light flashes.
Illustration 7: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a lane marker while an-
other vehicle is in the detection zone the sys-
tem chimes a sound (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. Then, the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on the appropriate
side to help return the vehicle back to the
center of the driving lane.

Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may inform
the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead de-
tection indicator.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system
warns the driver with the chime and ICC sys-
tem display. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator andset distance indicator blink.
• You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance between
vehicles. Some examples are:
• When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing. • When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is
increasing.
• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when:
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over- riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may flash when the radar
sensor detects objects on the side of the ve-
hicle or on the side of the road. This may cause
the ICC system to decelerate or accelerate the
vehicle. The radar sensor may detect these
objects when the vehicle is driven on winding,
narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle is
entering or exiting a curve. In these cases, you
will have to manually control the proper dis-
tance ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or
vehicle conditions (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above 44
mph and following a slower vehicle (below
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to
help initiate passing on the left and will begin
to reduce the distance to vehicle directly
ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates
this feature. As the driver steers the vehicle
and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle
is detected ahead the ICC system will con-
tinue to accelerate to the ICC system set
speed. If another vehicle is detected ahead,
then the vehicle will accelerate up to the fol-
lowing speed of that vehicle. If the vehicle is
not steered into the left lane to pass, the
acceleration will stop after a short time and
regain the set following distance. Accelera-
tion can be stopped at any point by depress-
ing the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision that
may result in serious injury or death, please
be aware of the following:
5-88Starting and driving

•This function is only activated with the
left turn signal and will briefly accelerate
the vehicle even if a lane change is not
initiated. This can include non-passing
situations such as left side exits.
• Ensure that when passing another ve-
hicle, the adjacent lane is clear before ini-
tiating the pass. Sudden changes in traf-
fic may occur while passing- always
manually steer or brake as needed- never
solely rely on the system.
ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death:
• The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas. •
The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves or on icy roads, in heavy rain
or in fog.
• As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving or overcome poor
visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal, depending
on the distance to the vehicle ahead and
the surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
• When the ICC system automatically
brings the car to a stop, your vehicle can
automatically accelerate if the vehicle
is stopped for less than approximately
3 seconds. Be prepared to stop your ve-
hicle if necessary.
• Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The ICC system may not be able to main- tain the selected distance between ve-
hicles (following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some circumstances.
• The system may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never use
the ICC system under the following con-
ditions:
– On roads with heavy, high-speed
traffic or sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the
bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources.

NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of firmly
grips) the steering wheel, the steering
torque sensor may not detect the driver’s
hand(s) on the steering wheel and a sequence
of warnings may occur. When the driver
holds and operates the steering wheel again,
the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
• In the following situations, the camera
may not detect lane markers correctly or
may detect lane markers incorrectly and
the Steering Assist may not operate
properly:
– When driving on roads where there
are multiple parallel lane markers,
lane markers that are faded or not
painted clearly, nonstandard lane
markers, or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– When driving on roads with discon-
tinued lane markers
– When driving on roads with a widen-
ing or narrowing lane width –
When driving on roads where there
are multiple lanes or unclear lane
markers due to road construction
– When driving on roads where there
are sharply contrasting objects, such
as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams, or lines remaining after road
repairs (the Steering Assist could de-
tect these items as lane markers)
– When driving on roads where the
traveling lane merges or separates
• Do not use the Steering Assist under the
following conditions because the system
may not properly detect lane markers.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
dust, etc.)
– When rain, snow, sand, etc., is thrown
up by the wheels of other vehicles
– When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or an-
other object adheres to the camera
unit
– When the lens of the camera unit is
foggy

light or high beams from oncoming
vehicles) shines on the camera –
When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or the head-
lights are off in tunnels or darkness
– When a sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or is under a
bridge)
–
When driving on roads where the trav- eling lane merges or separates or
where there are temporary lane mark-
ers because of road construction
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs
– When driving on a bumpy road sur-
face, such as an uneven dirt road
– When driving on sharp curves or
winding roads
– When driving on repeated uphill and
