tors
When a vehicle is detected in a blind
spot of the outside rear view mirrors or
approaching rapidly from behind into a
blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator on the detected side will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated
toward the detected side, the outside
rear view mirror indicator flashes.

■Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be difficult to see.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor Unavail-able See Owner’s Manual” is
shown on the multi-information display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to
the rear bumper around the sensors. ( P.200) The system should return to normal operation after removing the ice,
snow, mud, etc., from the rear bumper. Additionally, the sensors may not oper-ate normally when driving in extremely
BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on the
inner side of the rear bumper
on the left and right side to
assist the driver in confirming
safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround- ings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor. As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Active Torque Split AWD sys-
tem
Automatically switches from front-
wheel drive to all-wheel drive
(AWD) according to the driving con-
ditions, helping to ensure reliable
handling and stability. Examples of
conditions where the system will
switch to AWD are when cornering,
going uphill, starting off or acceler-
ating, and when the road surface is
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■The secondary Collision Brake
(if equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and
help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the
TRC/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the TRC system may reduce
power from the engine to the wheels.
Pressing to turn the system off may
make it easier for you to rock the vehicle
in order to free it.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly
press and release .
The “TRC OFF” indicator light will come
on.
Press again to turn the system
back on.
■Turning off both TRC and VSC sys-
tems

able repairer.
■Operating conditions of hill-start
assist control
When the following four conditions are met, the hill-start assist control will oper-
ate:
●The shift lever is in a position other
than R when starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is in R when starting off backward on an
upward incline.
●The vehicle is stopped
●The accelerator pedal is not depressed
●The parking brake is not engaged
●Engine switch is turned to ON
■Automatic system cancelation of hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in
any of the following situations:
●The shift lever is shifted to R when
starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is shifted to other than R when starting off back-
ward on an upward incline.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
●The parking brake is engaged
●2 seconds at maximum elapsed after the brake pedal is released
●Engine switch is turned to OFF
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC and hill-start assist control sys-
tems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.• Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly
after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC and VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems
off, the systems will be automatically re- enabled in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off
●If only the TRC system is turned off,
the TRC will turn on when vehicle speed increases.If both the TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS
system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steering wheel may feel
heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.
The EPS system should return to nor- mal within 10 minutes.
■Operating conditions of emergency brake signal
When the following conditions are met, the emergency brake signal will oper-ates:
●The emergency flashers are off
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h (35 mph)
●The system judges from the vehicle deceleration that it is a sudden brak-

ing operation.
■Automatic system cancelation of
emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will be can- celed in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned on.
●The system judges from the vehicle deceleration that is not a sudden brak-
ing operation.
■Secondary Collision Brake operat- ing conditions (if equipped)
The system operates when the SRS air-
bag sensor detects a collision while the vehicle is in motion.However, the system does not operate
in any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph)
●Components are damaged
■Secondary Collision Brake auto-matic cancelation (if equipped)
The system is automatically canceled in any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed drops below approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
●A certain amount of time elapses during operation
●The accelerator pedal is depressed a large amount

pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is turned to ON. It may also take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be different from the values
measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pres-sure warning system may not oper-
ate properly
