Safety system of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.
Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.
Information
Front air bags do not inflate in
rollover accidents. However, side
impact and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover, when it is detect-
ed by the rollover sensor.

For more information, refer to the
"Engine Start/Stop Button" section
in chapter 5.
To prevent damaging the smart
key:
• Keep the smart key in a cool, dry
place to avoid damage or mal-
function. Exposure to moisture
or high temperature may cause
the internal circuit of the smart
key to malfunction which may
not be covered under warranty.
• Avoid dropping or throwing the
smart key.
• Protect the smart key from
extreme temperatures.
Always have the smart key with
you when leaving the vehicle. If
the smart key is left near the vehi-

Safe Exit Assist (SEA) System
(If equipped)
Once the system decides it is danger-
ous for a passenger to open a vehicle
door by sensing the approaching of a
vehicle from behind when the person
is opening the door, the warning mes-
sage “Watch for traffic” appears and
the alarming sound will continue for
maximum of five seconds.
This function works for ten minutes
even after the ignition is turned off.
The function will be released as soon
as the vehicle doors are locked with
the smart key.
The alarming sound will continue
while the Safe Exit Assist system is
in activation.
The Safe Exit Assist system is acti-
vated when you select ‘Setup →
Vehicle Settings →Driver Assistance
→Blind-Spot Safety →Safe Exit
Assist’ from the Settings menu in the
AVN system screen.
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
simple manual.
OHI048561L
If a vehicle is approaching from
behind is too fast or a door is
opened too suddenly the alarm
system may not set off in time,
which can increase the chance
of an accident. Therefore, when
exiting the vehicle, always check
your surroundings to make sure
that there are no vehicles or
objects approaching.
WARNING
The safe Exist Assist system
may not operate normally when a
vehicle is coming rapidly two
lanes over from your vehicle or a
vehicle is approaching at a fast
speed from the rear in the lane
next to your vehicle.
The Safe Exist Assist system
may be activated later than nor-
mal or may not operate normally
if a vehicle is approaching fast
from the rear of your vehicle.
The Safe Exist Assist system will
not operate if there is a malfunc-
tion with the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system as follows:
- When the BCW warning mes-
sage appears
- When the BCW sensor or the
sensor surrounding is polluted
or covered
- When the BCW does not warn
or warns wrongly
For more details, refer to cau-
tions and limitations in “Blind-
Spot Collision Warning/Blind-
Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist” in chapter 5.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror
(if equipped)
The NVS®Mirror automatically
reduces glare by monitoring light lev-
els in the front and the rear of the
vehicle. Any object that obstructs
either light sensor will degrade the
automatic dimming control feature.
For more information regarding
NVS
®mirrors and other applica-
tions, please refer to the Gentex
website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmit-
ters with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door open-
ers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both stan-
dard and rolling code-equipped trans-
mitters can be programmed by follow-
ing the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®buttons be erased for
security purposes.
Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use the
HomeLink
®with any garage
door opener that lacks the safe-
ty stop and reverse features
required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any
garage door opener model man-
ufactured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect
an object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.

Distance Warning system
Forward/Reverse Parking
Distance Warning system may
not operate normally when any
of the following occur:
• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
The Forward/Reverse Parking
Distance Warning system may
experience a malfunction when
the following occurs:
• Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
• Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is present.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.
• Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed, or
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
• Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than
40 inches (1 m) and narrower than
6 inches (14 cm) in diameter.
The following objects may not
be recognized by the sensor:

Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) System
Precautions
• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system may not operate
consistently in some circum-
stances depending on the speed of
the vehicle and the shapes of the
objects detected.
• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system may malfunction if
the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
• The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 12 in. (30 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is blocked with
snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the sys-
tem may be inoperative until the
snow or ice melts, or the debris is
removed. Use a soft cloth to wipe
debris away from the sensor.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
• Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
