WARNING
• Never rely solely on the hill start as-
sist system to prevent the vehicle
from moving backward on a hill. Al-
ways drive carefully and attentively.
Depress the brake pedal when the
vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be
especially careful when stopped on a
hill on frozen or muddy roads. Failure
to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards may result in a loss of
control of the vehicle and possible
serious injury or death.
• The hill start assist system is not de-
signed to hold the vehicle at a stand-
still on a hill. Depress the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped on a
steep hill. Failure to do so may cause
the vehicle to roll backwards and
may result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
• The hill start assist may not prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
on a hill under all load or road condi-
tions. Always be prepared to depress
the brake pedal to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling backwards. Failure
to do so may result in a collision or
serious personal injury. The hill start assist system automatically
keeps the brakes applied to help prevent
the vehicle from rolling backward in the
time it takes the driver to release the brake
pedal and apply the accelerator when the
vehicle is stopped on a hill.
Hill start assist will operate automatically
under the following conditions:
• The shif t lever is moved to a forward or
reverse gear.
• The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the brake.
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds.
Af ter 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll
back and hill start assist will stop operating
completely.
Hill start assist will not operate when the
shif t position is moved to N (Neutral) or P
(Park), or on a flat and level road. The sonar system sounds a tone to inform
the driver of obstacles around the vehicle
using the sonar sensors located in the
front and rear bumpers..
When the sonar system is turned on, the
sonar view will automatically appear in the
vehicle information display.
WARNING
• The sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
parking.

How the system alerts of obstacles:
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The intermittent tone will stop af ter several
seconds when the obstacle is identified
only with the center sensor. The tone will
stop when the obstacle gets away from
the vehicle.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking increases. When the vehicle is very
close to the object, the indicator stops
blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.When the vehicle moves closer to an ob-
stacle, the sonar indicator (detected area)
appears in the vehicle information display.
The sonar indicator also appears on the
camera view of the center display.

SONAR LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• Read and understand the limitations
of the sonar system as contained in
this section. Inclement weather may
affect the function of the sonar sys-
tem; this may include reduced per-
formance or a false activation.
• The sonar system is deactivated at
speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is
reactivated at lower speeds.
• Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may af-
fect the function of the system; this
may include reduced performance or
a false activation.

•When the temperature inside the ve-
hicle is higher than approximately 86°F
(30°C), unless the Air Conditioning ECO
customize option is selected, and the
ECO driving mode is on. (When the air
conditioner is off, the Idling Stop Sys-
tem will operate.)
• When the front defroster is turned on.
• When more than 3 minutes have
elapsed since the Idling Stop System
was active.
• When the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
• When the steering wheel is operated.
(The steering wheel operation may be-
come heavy, but this is not a
malfunction.)
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the power consumption is high.
• When the shif t lever is in any range
other than D (Drive).
• When the Idling Stop OFF switch is
pushed.
• When the negative pressure of the
brake system is not sufficiently applied
by depressing the brake pedal several
times.NOTE:
The Idling Stop System may not activate
when the Intelligent Key is not in the ve-
hicle and you open/close any door.
NOTE:
The following condition will prevent the
Idling Stop System from automatically
restarting the engine. Starting the en-
gine with the ignition switch operation is
then necessary:
• The hood is open.
Use this system while waiting at a stop
light, etc. When the vehicle is stopped for
long periods of time, turn off the engine.
When the engine is stopped by the Idling
Stop System, heating, cooling and dehu-
midif ying functions will be deactivated. To
avoid the air conditioning functions from
being deactivated, turn off the Idling Stop
System by pushing the Idling Stop OFF
switch.
RETROGRADE MOVEMENT
CONTROL FUNCTION
This system is designed to reduce the ret-
rograde movement that occurs while the
driver’s foot changes from depressing the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal when
moving the vehicle while the Idling Stop
System is active on a hilly road.
IDLING STOP SYSTEM DISPLAY
The status of the Idling Stop System can be
checked in the vehicle information display.
Starting and driving5-191

If the Idling Stop System is activated or de-
activated using the Idling Stop OFF switch,
the message is shown.The fuel saved and the engine stop time
mode shows the following items:
• The fuel saved shows the estimated
quantity of fuel that was saved by the
Idling Stop System every time the engine
is automatically stopped.
• The engine stop time shows the time that the engine has been stopped for by
the Idling Stop System. The total fuel saved and the engine stop
time can also be checked in the vehicle
information display. For additional infor-
mation, see “Vehicle information display – 7
inch (18 cm) Type A” (P. 2-23) or “Vehicle in-
formation display – 12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B”
