uuWhen Driving uTraffic Jam Assist
Driving
To cancel Traffic Jam Assist, you can do any of the following:
• Press the MAIN button.
• Press the LKAS button.
• When the ACC with Low Speed Follow is deactivated.
■When Traffic Jam Assist may au tomatically be suspended when:
The system is temporarily canceled auto matically under the following circumstances.
• The system fails to detect lane lines.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• The steering wheel is turned quickly.
• You fail to steer the vehicle.
• The vehicle in front of you is driving near the lane lines.
• The wipers are set to high.
• The interval between your vehicle and the one traveling ahead is over 197 feet
(60m).
Once these conditions no longer exist, th e Traffic Jam Assist automatically resumes.
■Canceling Traffic Jam Assist1How Traffic Jam Assist Works
If you are traveling slower than the vehicle detected
ahead or a vehicle that is de tected cutting in front of
you and the interval betw een your vehicle and the
detected vehicle gradually increases, your vehicle will
continue to follow that ve hicle without emitting any
warning, even if the interv al between the vehicle is
minimal.
1 When Traffic Jam Assist may automatically be suspended when:
You are traveling over 45mph (72km/h).
u When the speed of the vehicle reaches 45mph
(72km/h), Traffic Jam Assist is deactivated and LKAS
is activated instead. Once the speed of the vehicle
drops to under 42mph (68km/ h), Traffic Jam Assist
is reactivated.

uuWhen Driving uBlind spot information System
Continued
Driving
Blind spot information System
Is designed to detect vehicles in specifie d alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas comm only known as “blind spots.” When the
system detects vehicles approaching from be hind in adjacent lanes, the appropriate
indicator comes on for a few seconds, providing assistance when you change lanes.
■How the system works
1 Blind spot information System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, blind spot information
system has limitations. Over reliance on the blind spot
information system may result in a collision.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur.
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
may not come on due to obstruction (splashes,
etc.) even without the Blind Spot Info Not
Available multi-information display appearing.
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
may come on even with the message appearing.
The blind spot information system alert indicator may
not come on under the following conditions:
•A vehicle does not stay in the alert zone for more
than two seconds.
•A vehicle is parked in a side lane.•The speed difference between your vehicle and the
vehicle you are passing is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h).
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system wh en changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.

2 Customized Features P. 295
•The transmission is in (R.
• Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or
lower.
When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning or accelerator pedal resistibility.
The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly
behind your vehicle.
The system does not detect or provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from
your vehicle, and it may alert for pedest rians, bicycles, or stationary objects.
■How the System Works1Cross Traffic Monitor
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay
alerting an approaching vehi cle, or may alert without
an approaching vehicl e under the following
conditions:
•An obstacle, such as a nother vehicle and a wall,
near your vehicle’s rear bumper, is blocking the
radar sensor’s scope.
•Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph
(5 km/h) or higher.
•A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than
between about 6 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (25
km/h).
•The system picks up external interference such as
other radar sensors from an other vehicle or strong
radio wave transmitted fr om a facility nearby.
•Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with
snow, ice, mud or dirt.
•When there is bad weather.•Your vehicle is on an incline.
•Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.
•Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a
vehicle, and so on.
•The rear bumper or the sensors have been
improperly repaired or the rear bumper has been
deformed. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.
For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper
corner area clean.
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels
or stickers of any kind.

uuRefueling uHow to Refuel
Driving
How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel filler cap. You can insert the filler nozzle
directly into the filler neck. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the filler
nozzle. 1.Stop your vehicle with the service station
pump on the left side of the vehicle in the
rear.
2. Turn off the power system.
3. Press the fuel fill door release button.
u The fuel fill door opens.
4. Place the end of the filler nozzle on the
lower part of filler opening, then insert it
slowly and fully.
u Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler
pipe.
u Keep the filler nozzle level.
u When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will
click off automatically.
u After filling, wait about five seconds
before removing the filler nozzle.
5. Shut the fuel fill door by hand.1How to Refuel
The fuel filler opening is desi gned to accept only service
station filler nozzles for re fueling. Use of smaller
diameter tubes (e.g., those used to siphon fuel for other
uses) or other non-service station devices can damage
the area in and around the filler opening.
The filler nozzle automatically stops to leave space in
the fuel tank so that fuel does not overflow as a result
of changes in air temperature.
If the filler nozzle keeps tu rning off when the tank is
not full, there may be a problem with the pump’s fuel
vapor recovery system. Try fi lling at another pump. If
this does not fix the problem, consult a dealer.
Do not continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has
automatically stopped. Addi tional fuel can exceed
the full tank capacity.
If you have to refuel y our vehicle from a portable
container, use the funnel pr ovided with your vehicle.
2 Refueling From a Portable Fuel Container P. 583
3WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.
•Turn the power system off, and keep
heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
