▼i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term
covering a series
of advanced safety
and driver support systems which
make use of cameras and sensors. The
systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist
the driver in safer driving by reducing
the load on the driver and helping to
avert collisions or reduce their severity.
However, because each system has its
limitations, always drive carefully and
do not rely solely on the systems.

WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors
and directly with your eyes when
driving:
The 360° View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assists the driver in
checking the safety of the area around
the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are
limited. For example, the areas in black
at the front and rear of the vehicle
image and the seams where each of
the camera images merge are blind
spots where an obstruction may not be
visible. In addition, the extended
vehicle width lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the
screen may differ from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the 360° View Monitor
under any of the following
conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.

▼Parking Sensor System
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors which detect obstructions around the
vehicle when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel
parking , and a buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the
approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the park
ing sensor system and be sure to
confirm the
safety around your vehicle visually when driving:
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited,
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an
accident. Always confirm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.
CAUTION
 Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may
affect the system operation.
 Depending on the type of obstruction and the surrounding conditions, the
detection range of a sensor may narrow, or the sensors may not be able to detect
obstructions.
 When washing the vehicle, do not spra y highly pressurized water against the
sensor area, or rub it strongly. Otherwise, it may not be able to detect obstructions
correctly and the system may not operate normally.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, th e system status before it was turned
off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the parking sensor
is activated, the system will be activate d when the ignition is switched ON the
next time.
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation
when removed).
The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).The sensor is covered by a hand.The sensor is excessively shocked.The vehicle is excessively tilted.Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, grating, or grass covered roads.
