Carrying long/narrow cargo
Additional cargo space is provided to
accommodate long/narrow cargo
(skis, poles, etc.) not able to fit prop-
erly in the trunk when closed.
1. Pull the armrest down.
2. Pull the cover down while pushingthe release lever down.
Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger
seats to prevent damage to the
vehicle interior.
When both the arm rest and the panel, are folded down, put back
the panel first, before folding
back the arm rest. If not, the
panel knobs and the arm rest
knobs may interfere with each
other and get damaged.
NOTICE
OHI036031
Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from being thrown
about the vehicle in a collision
and causing injury to the vehicle
occupants. Do not place objects
in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.
WARNING
Make sure the engine is off,the shift lever is in P and the
parking brake is applied
whenever loading or unload-
ing cargo. The vehicle may
move if the shift lever is inad-
vertently moved to another
position.
When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving while driving.
Unsecured cargo in the pas- senger compartment can
cause damage to the vehicle
or injury to its occupants.
CAUTION

3-12
Convenient features of your vehicleThe doors should always be
fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion. If the
doors are unlocked, the risk of
being thrown from the vehicle in
a crash is increased.
WARNING
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle. An
enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
serious injury to unattended
children or animals who cannot
escape the vehicle. Children
might operate features of the
vehicle that could injure them,
or they could encounter other
harm, possibly from someone
gaining entry to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
increases the potential risk to
you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion, engage the parking brake,
and place the Engine Start/Stop
button in the OFF position, close
all windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.
WARNING
Opening a door when something
is approaching may cause dam-
age or injury. Be careful when
opening doors and watch for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
CAUTION

Convenient features of your vehicle(Continued)
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you
must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved portable fuel container, be
sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When refueling, always movethe shift lever to the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, and place the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF
position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Do not use matches or a lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
Do not over-fill or top-off your vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu- eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.

Non-operational conditions ofparking assist system
Parking assist system may not
operate normally when:
Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of parking
assist system malfunction when:
Driving on uneven road surfacessuch 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 extremelyhot 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:
Sharp or slim objects such asropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen- sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Parking assist system precau-tions
The parking assist system may not
operate consistently in some cir-
cumstances depending on the
speed of the vehicle and the
shapes of the objects detected.
The parking assist system may mal- function if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been
modified or damaged. Any non-fac-
tory installed equipment or acces-
sories may also interfere with the
sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 15 in (40 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 park-
ing assist system may be inopera-
tive 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.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.

To reduce risk of serious injury
or death, NEVER allow children
or any person who is unfamiliar
with the vehicle to touch the
Engine Start/Stop button or
related parts. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur.
WARNING
To turn the engine off in an
emergency:
Press and hold the Engine
Start/Stop button for more than
two seconds OR rapidly press
and release the Engine Start/
Stop button three times (within
three seconds).
If the vehicle is still moving, you
can restart the engine without
depressing the brake pedal by
pressing the Engine Start/Stop
button with the shift lever in the
N (Neutral) position.
WARNING
NEVER press the EngineStart/Stop button while the
vehicle is in motion except in
an emergency. This will result
in the engine turning off and
loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems.
This may lead to loss of direc-
tional control and braking
function, which could cause
an accident.
Before leaving the driver's seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, press the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion, and take the Smart Key
