WARNING
Driving
4
⚫Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby.
⬛When parking the vehicle
⚫Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, aerosol cans, or carbonated bever-
age cans in the vehicle under the scorching sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
⦁ Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or aerosol can, and may lead to a fire
⦁ The glasses with plastic lenses and plastic material may deform or crack
⦁ Carbonated beverage cans may fracture, causing the contents to spill over
the interior of the vehicle, and may al so cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle’s electrical components
⚫Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehi cle. If a cigarette lighter is in a stor-
age compartment or on the floor, it ma y be lit accidentally when luggage is
loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
⚫Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as fragrance on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
⚫Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one.
Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
⚫For continuously variable transmission vehicles, always apply the parking
brake, set the shift lever to P, stop the engine, and lock the vehicle when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Do not leave the vehicle unattende d while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked wi th the shift lever in P but the parking brake is not
set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an accident.
⚫Do not touch the exhaust pipes while th e engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
⬛When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off.
Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator
pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Addition-
ally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may enter
the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.

Precautions when loading luggage
For safe and comfortable driving, observe the following when load-
ing luggage.
WARNING
⬛Things that must not be carr ied in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:
⚫Receptacles containing gasoline
⚫Aerosol cans
⬛When loading luggage
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so is dangerous. It may prevent the clutch pedal (manual trans-
mission vehicles) and the brake pedal and accelerator pedal from being oper-
ated properly, and the load could block the driver’s vision, hit the driver or
passengers, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Try storing cargo or luggage in the luggage compartment as much as possi-
ble.
⚫Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations:
⦁ In the legroom of the driver’s seat
⦁ On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
⦁ On the instrument panel
⦁ On the dashboard
⦁ Small containers/trays without lids
⚫Secure all items in the compartment.
⚫Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seat-
backs.
In the event of a sudden braking or an accident, the luggage may be thrown
out and cause injury to the driver or passengers.
⚫When loading long-size lugga ge by folding the rear seatbacks, avoid placing
the luggage directly behind the seatback s of the front seats as much as pos-
sible.
⚫Do not let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for
occupants. They should ride in their se ats with their seat belts properly fas-
tened.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden
braking or a collision.

⬛Situations where the BSM function may not work properly
⚫The BSM function may not detect vehicles correctly in the following circumstances.
⦁The sensor positions or orientations are off due to a strong impact applied
to the sensors or the surrounding areas
⦁ The sensors or the rear bumper near the sensors are covered with mud,
snow, ice, or stickers
⦁ Driving on a wet road or driving in a puddle under bad weather conditions,
such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
⦁ Several vehicles are continuously approaching in a tight space
⦁ When there is not enough distance between your vehicle and the follow-
ing vehicle
⦁ When the speed difference between yo ur vehicle and the other vehicle in
the detection range is too large
⦁ When the speed difference between your vehicle and the other vehicle is
fluctuating
⦁ When the speed of your vehicle and the other vehicle in the detection
range is almost the same
⦁ When another vehicle continues to stay in the detection range after your
vehicle starts moving from the stopped state
⦁ When driving up and down on a series of steep slopes or driving on
dented areas of a road
⦁ When driving through a sharp curve or continuous curves, or driving in an
area with ups and downs
⦁ When the other vehicle in the next la ne is too far away from your vehicle,
such as while driving in a wide lane or driving on the edge of the lane
⦁When the vehicle has accessories such as a bicycle carrier installed in the rear side
⦁When there is a large difference in th e vehicle height of your vehicle and
the other vehicle in the detection range
⦁ Right after turning on the BSM function or the RCTA function
⦁ Right after setting the shift lever to other than R
⦁ When an extremely heavy load is st ored in the luggage compartment
⦁ When a vehicle changed lanes from 2 lanes away to the next lane
⚫The BSM function may have more unnecessary detections, especially in the
following circumstances.
⦁The sensor positions or orientations are off due to a strong impact applied
to the sensors or the surrounding areas
⦁ When guardrails or walls have ente red the detection area while the dis-
tance from the vehicle is short
⦁ When a vehicle other than that trave ling in the next lane has entered the
detection range, such as while driving in a narrow lane or driving on the
edge of the lane

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⬛Activation of ABS/VSC
ABS/VSC does not work at low speeds. The operation is the same as the nor-
mal brake.
⬛Activation sound and vibration of the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC, and hill-
start assist control
⚫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 oper-
ating. None of them indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
⦁ Vibrations may be felt through th e vehicle body and steering wheel
⦁ A motor sound may be heard even after the vehicle has come 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 motor operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
⬛Automatic reactivation of VSC and TRC
After turning the TRC and VSC systems off, the systems will return to the ready
state in the following situations:
⚫When the engine switch is turned to “OFF”
⚫If only the TRC system is turned off, when vehicle speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are tu rned off, automatic reactivation 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 ma y feel heavy as a result.
Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and
turn the engine off. It should re turn to normal within 10 minutes.
