Cet equipement est conforme aux limites
d’exposition aux rayonnements IC eta-
blies pour un environnement non con-

FCC Notice
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s author-
ity to operate the equipment.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
RAB system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The RAB system is a supplemen-
tal aid to the driver. It is not a
replacement for proper driving
procedures. Always use the side
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move before and while backing
up. Never rely solely on the RAB
system. It is the driver’s respon-
sibility to stay alert, drive safely,
and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.
. There is a limitation to the RAB
system capability. The RAB sys-
tem is not effective in all situa-
tions.
The RAB system can assist the driver
when the vehicle is backing up and
approaching objects directly behind the
vehicle.
WAF0077X
The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the rear sonarlocated
on the rear bumper.
NOTE:
You can temporarily cancel the sonar
function in the vehicle, but the RAB
system will continue to operate. For
additional information, see “Rear Sonar
System (RSS)” (P.5-136).
REAR AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)

brake pedal is depressed, the
function may not operate or the
start of the operation may be
delayed. The RAB system may
not operate or may not perform
sufficiently due to vehicle condi-
tions, driving conditions, the traf-
fic environment, the weather,
road surface conditions, etc. Do
not wait for the system to oper-
ate. Operate the brake pedal by
yourself as soon as necessary.
. If it is necessary to override RAB
operation, strongly press the ac-
celerator pedal.
. Always check your surroundings
and turn to check what is behind
you before and while backing up.
The RAB system detects station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The RAB system does not detect
the following objects:
— Moving objects
— Low objects
— Narrow objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Objects close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft
[30 cm]) — Objects that suddenly appear
— Thin objects such as rope,
wire, chain, etc.
. The RAB system may not operate
for the following obstacles:
— Obstacles located high off the
ground
— Obstacles in a position offset from your vehicle
— Obstacles, such as spongy materials or snow, that have
soft outer surfaces and can
easily absorb a sound wave
. The RAB system may not operate
in the following conditions:
— There is rain, snow, ice, dirt,
etc., attached to the sonar
sensors.
— A loud sound is heard in the area around the vehicle.
— The surface of the obstacle is diagonal to the rear of the
vehicle.
. The RAB system may uninten-
tionally operate in the following
conditions:
— There is overgrown grass in
the area around the vehicle. — There is a structure (e.g., a
wall, toll gate equipment, a
narrow tunnel, a parking lot
gate) near the side of the
vehicle.
— There are bumps, protrusions, or manhole covers on the
road surface.
— The vehicle drives through a draped flag or a curtain.
— There is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehi-
cle.
— An ultrasonic wave source, such as another vehicle’s so-
nar, is near the vehicle.
. Once the automatic brake control
operates, it does not operate
again if the vehicle approaches
the same obstacle.
. The automatic brake control can
only operate for a short period of
time. Therefore, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
. In the following situations, the
RAB system may not operate
properly or may not function
sufficiently:
