■Folding Down the Rear Seats1Folding Down the Rear Seats
Make sure all items in the cargo area or items
extending to the rear seats are properly
secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have
to brake hard.
Remove any items from th e rear seat cushion and
floor before you fold down the rear seat.
The rear seat-back(s) can be folded down to
accommodate bulkier items in the cargo area.
When you fold down one side of the rear seats and
use the non-recessed part of the cargo area, make
sure to secure the cargo. Loose items can fly forward
and cause injury if you have to brake hard.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press
against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the
weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work
improperly.

Driving Safely with a Trailer
• Have the trailer properly servic ed and keep it in good condition.
• Make sure that all the weights and load in the vehicle and trailer are within limits.
2Towing Load Limits P. 435
•Securely attach the hitch, safety chains, and other necessary parts to the trailer.
• Securely store all the items in and on the tra iler so that they do not shift while
driving.
• Check if the lights and brakes on the trailer are working properly.
• Check the pressures of the trailer tires.
• Turn off the Auto Idle Stop syst em using the Auto Idle Stop OFF button. The
trailer weight can affect your vehicle’s br ake effectiveness if Auto Idle Stop is
activated on a hill while towing a trailer.
• Turn off the rear parking sensor system.
2 Turning off All Rear Sensors P. 559
•Turn off the Low Speed Brakin g Control system. It may activate if it detects the

■Things You Need To Know Before Towing a Trailer1Driving Safely with a Trailer
Operating speed when towing a trailer must not
exceed 62 mph (100 km/h).
Parking
In addition to the normal precautions, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.
Remember to unhitch the tra iler before changing a
flat tire. Ask the trailer sales or rental agency where
and how to store the trailer’s spare tire.

Driving
Collision Mitigati on Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
The system can assist you when it determin es there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian de tected in front of your vehicle. The CMBSTM
is designed to alert you when the potential for a collision is determined, as well as to
reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity when a collision is
deemed unavoidable.
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collisions
nor stop the vehicle automati cally. It is still your
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain
conditions: 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 491
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 541
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 543
When the CMBS
TM activates, it may automatically
apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.

at high speed.
• The vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle, bicycle, mobility scooter or other small
vehicle.
• When there are animals in front of your vehicle.
• When you drive on a curved, winding or undulating road that makes it difficult for
the sensor to properly detect a vehicle in front of you.

Continued
Driving
Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front an d rear bumpers, this system detects if
there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal
driving. The system then assists in avoiding collisions and reducing damage from
impact through assistive braking.1 Low Speed Braking Control*
If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a
situation where you do not want automatic brake
application (such as when the vehicle is between two
railroad crossing gates), si mply press the brake pedal
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive
as intended.
3WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System
cannot avoid all collisions and may not
reduce damage in each situation where the
accelerator is mistaken ly or aggressively
pressed.
Overreliance on the system may result in a
collision with serious injury or death.
Always check your surroundings, your shift
position, and your pedal use. Driver
remains responsible for safely operating
the vehicle.

The Low Speed Braking Control provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle
is moving between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the
possibility of a collision with a detected wall or other obstacle, as well as providing
assistance with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usin g the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking is not working when reversing.
