indicator will not flash.
The TCS and Electronic Stability
Control systems are automatically
reset to on when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position then
back to the ON position.
The systems have a built in
diagnostic feature that test the
systems each time the engine is
started and the vehicle moved
forward or in reverse at a slow
speed. When the test occurs a clunk
noise may be heard and/or a
pulsation in the brake pedal may be
felt. This is normal and is not an
indication of a malfunction.

{Warning
.
The Traction Control
System (TCS) and
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system are designed
to help the driver maintain
stability but do not prevent
accidents due to abrupt
steering operation at high
speeds or by careless or
dangerous driving
techniques. Reduce vehicle
speed and be especially
careful when driving and
cornering on slippery
surfaces and always drive
carefully.
. Do not modify the vehicle’ s
suspension. If suspension
parts such as shock
absorbers, struts, springs,
stabilizer bars, bushings,
and wheels are not
recommended for your
vehicle or are extremely
deteriorated, the TCS and

Cruise Control
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
If equipped with cruise control, a
speed of about 48 km/h (30 mph) or
more can be maintained without
keeping your foot on the
accelerator. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about
48 km/h (30 mph).
If the brakes are applied, cruise
control disengages.

Warning (Continued)
.The system is designed as
an aid to the driver in
showing large stationary
objects directly behind the
vehicle, to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
. The system cannot
completely eliminate blind
spots and may not show
every object.
. Underneath the bumper and
the corner areas of the
bumper cannot be viewed
on the RVC display because
of its monitoring range
limitation. The system will
not show small objects
below the bumper, and may
not show objects close to
the bumper or on the
ground.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Objects viewed on the RVC
display differ from actual
distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
. Objects on the RVC display
will appear visually opposite
than when viewed in the
rearview and outside
mirrors.
. Make sure that the back
doors are securely closed
when backing up.
. Do no put anything on the
rearview camera. The
rearview camera is installed
on the back door.
. When washing the vehicle
with high pressure water, be
sure not to spray it around
the camera. Otherwise,
water may enter the camera
unit causing water

When backing up the vehicle up a
hill, the distance guidelines and the
vehicle width guidelines are shown
closer than the actual distance. For
example, the display shows 1 m
(3 ft) to 1, but the actual 1 m (3 ft)
distance on the hill is 2. Note that
any object on the hill is further than
it appears on the display.Backing up on a Steep Downhill

Operating Tips
Caution
.Do not use alcohol, benzine
or thinner to clean the
camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the
camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with a diluted
mild cleaning agent and
then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera
as the monitor screen may
be adversely affected. .
When the shift lever is shifted to
R (Reverse), the screen
automatically changes to the
RVC mode. However, the radio
can be heard.
. It may take some time until the
RVC is displayed after the shift
lever has been shifted to
R (Reverse). Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the
RVC screen is displayed
completely. When the shift lever
is returned to a position other
than R (Reverse), it may take
some time until the screen
changes. Objects on the screen
may be distorted until they are
completely displayed.
. When the temperature is
extremely high or low, the
screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a
malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters
the camera, objects may not be
displayed clearly. .
Vertical lines may be seen in
objects on the screen. This is
due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a
malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under
fluorescent light. This is not a
malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the
display may differ somewhat
from those of the actual object.
. When the contrast of objects is
low at night, pressing the
SETTING button or MENU
button may not change the
brightness.
. Objects on the display may not
be clear in a dark place or at
night.
. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to
the camera, the RVC may not
display objects. Clean the
camera.
. Do not use body wax on the
camera window. If body wax
does get on the camera window,

wipe off the wax with a clean
cloth dampened with mild
detergent diluted with water.
Parking Assist
{Warning
.Always turn and look back
before backing up. The RPA
is not a substitute for proper
backing procedures.
. Read and understand the
limitations of the rear
parking assist system as
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
contained in this section.
Inclement weather may
affect the function of the
RPA; this may include
reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This system is not designed
to prevent contact with small
or moving objects.
. The system is designed as
a aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The
system will not detect small
objects below the bumper,
and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on
the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains
damage to the rear bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms. If equipped, the Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) sounds a tone to warn the
driver of obstacles near the rear
bumper when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse). The system may not
detect objects at speeds above
5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The RPA detects objects up to 1.8 m
(5.9 ft) from the rear bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper. As you
move closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the tone increases. When the
obstacle is less than 25 cm (10 in)
away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the RPA detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25 cm (10 in) from the side of
the vehicle, the tone will sound for
only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.
The RPA automatically turns on
when the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition switch
is in ON. The RPA OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the
