Operation of the parking assist
system
Operation condition
• This system will activate when the
Parking Assist button is pressed
with the engine running.
• Sensing distance when reversing
is approximately 120 cm when you
are driving less than 10 km/h.
• The sensing distance when mov-
ing forward is approximately
100 cm when you are driving less
than 10 km/h.• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognised first.
• If you move the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) position with the engine
running and the parking assist sys-
tem off, the parking assist system
will operate automatically. But it will
turn off automatically, when vehicle
speed exceeds 10 km/h.
CAUTION
Do not push, scratch or strike
the sensor with any hard
objects that could damage the
surface of the sensor. Sensor
damage could occur.

Non-operational conditions of
parking assist system
The parking assist system may
not operate normally when:
• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• The sensor is covered or stained
with foreign material such as snow
or water, or the sensor cover is
blocked.
There is a possibility of a parking
assist system malfunction when:
• Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradients.
• Objects generating excessive
noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sen-
sor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is pres-
ent.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sen-
sor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.• Any non-factory equipment or
accessories have been installed,
or if the vehicle bumper height or
sensor installation has been modi-
fied.
• Trailer towing.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
• Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than
about 1 m and narrower than about
14 cm in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognised by the sensor:
• Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
• Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants due to a rear
parking assist system malfunc-
tion. Always drive safely and
cautiously.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud or sand:
Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements in braking
or steering.
If stuck in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non-slip
material under the drive wheels to
provide traction when stalled in ice,
snow, or mud.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between 1st and R (Reverse,
for manual transaxle vehicle) or R
(Reverse) and a forward gear (for
automatic transaxle vehicle). Try to
avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transaxle wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before
shifting gears. Release the accelera-
tor pedal whilst shifting, and press
lightly on the accelerator pedal whilst
the transaxle is in gear. Slowly spin-
ning the wheels in forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking
motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, whilst driving on slip-
pery surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tyre speed could cause the
tyres to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery sur-
faces.
WARNING
If the tyres spin at high speed
the tyres can explode, and you
or others may be injured. Do not
attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near
the vehicle. The vehicle can
overheat causing an engine
compartment fire or other dam-
age. Spin the wheels as little as
possible and avoid spinning the
wheels at speeds over 56 km/h
(35 mph) as indicated on the
speedometer.
CAUTION
If you are still stuck after rock-
ing the vehicle a few times, have
the vehicle pulled out by a tow
vehicle to avoid engine over-
heating, possible damage to the
transaxle, and tyre damage. See
“Towing” in chapter 6.
To prevent damage to the
transaxle, turn OFF the ESC (if
equipped) prior to rocking the
vehicle.

Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head-
lights.• Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head-
lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
