Limitations of the System
The Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to monitor the
vehicle ahead or a pedestrian in the
roadway through radar signals and cam-
era recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor or
the camera may not be able to detect the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead. In these
cases, the AEB system may not operate
normally. The driver must pay careful
attention in the following situations where
the AEB operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar sensor or camera is blockedwith a foreign object or debris.
- Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of view of
the radar sensor or camera.
- There is interference by electromag- netic waves.
- There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor.
- The vehicle in front is too small to be detected by the camera recognition
system (for example a motorcycle or a
bicycle, etc.).
- The vehicle in front is an oversize vehi- cle or trailer that is too big to be detect-
ed by the camera recognition system
(for example a tractor trailer, etc.).
- The driver's field of view is not well illu- minated (either too dark or too much
reflection or too much backlight that
obscures the field of view).
- The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights properly turned ON.
- The outside brightness changes sud- denly, for example when entering or
exiting a tunnel.
(Continued)The brake control may be insuffi-
cient, possibly causing a colli-
sion, if a vehicle in front abruptly
stops. Always pay extreme cau-
tion.
Occupants may get injured, if the
vehicle abruptly stops by the acti-
vated AEB system. Pay extreme
caution.

For your safety, please read the
owner's manual before using the
Smart Cruise Control system.
WARNING
Do not use smart cruise control
when towing a trailer.
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control System
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience func-
tion only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
If the Smart Cruise Control is left
on, ("CRUISE" indicator light in
the instrument cluster is illumi-
nated) the Smart Cruise Control
can be activated unintentionally.
Keep the Smart Cruise Control
System off ("CRUISE" indicator
light OFF) when the Smart Cruise
Control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Set the Smart Cruise Control
speed under the posted speed,
which is regulated by the law.
Use the Smart Cruise Control
System when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the Smart Cruise
Control when it may not be safe
to keep the vehicle at a constant
speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic or
when traffic conditions make it
difficult to drive at a constant
speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads

Driving your vehicle
Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into your lanefrom an adjacent lane cannot be rec-
ognized by the radar until it is in the
radar’s detection range.
The radar may not detect immediately when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
Always pay attention to the traffic, road
and driving conditions.
If a slower vehicle moves into your lane, your speed may decrease to
maintain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If a faster vehicle moves into your lane, your vehicle will accelerate to the set
speed.
Detecting vehicles
Some vehicles in your lane cannot be
recognized by the radar:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles orbicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-decel- erating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the radar if any of following
occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing upwards
due to overloading in the trunk
- While the steering wheel is operating
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if
necessary.

■ Type D
The label located on the driver's door sill gives the original tire size, cold
tire pressures recommended for your vehicle, the number of people that
can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.
Tire Loading Information LabelVehicle capacity weight
849 lbs. (385 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-
mum combined weight of occupants
and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped
with a trailer, the combined weight
includes the tongue load.
Seating capacity
Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2 persons,
Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a
driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight of
all of the occupants, and the weight
of the cargo being carried or towed.
Do not overload the vehicle as there
is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit including occupants and cargo,
the vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.

Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants and the tongue load, if
your vehicle is equipped with a trail-
er.
Steps for determining correctload limit
1. Locate the statement "The com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's
placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs. 4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
the "XXX" amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trail- er, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle. Do not overload the vehicle as
there is a limit to the total
weight, or load limit, including
occupants and cargo, the vehi-
cle can carry. Overloading can
shorten the life of the vehicle. If
the GVWR or the GAWR is
exceeded, parts on the vehicle
can break, and it can change
the handling of your vehicle.
These could cause you to lose
control and result in an acci-
dent.

Certification label
The certification label is located on
the driver’s door sill at the center pil-
lar and shows the maximum allow-
able weight of the fully loaded vehi-
cle. This is called the GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maxi-
mum weight that can be supported
by the front and rear axles, called
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).The total weight of the vehicle,
including all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on your front and
rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be
sure to spread out your load equally
on both sides of the centerline.
Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not overload your vehicle.
NOTICE
If you carry items inside your
vehicle (e.g., suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else),
they are moving as fast as the
vehicle. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they
strike the driver or a passenger.
Put items in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
Do not stack items, like suit-
cases, inside the vehicle
above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured
child restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure it.
WARNING
OBH059070
Overloading
Never exceed the GVWR for
your vehicle, the GAWR for
either the front or rear axle
and vehicle capacity weight.
Exceeding these ratings can
affect your vehicle's handling
and braking ability, and cause
an accident.
Do not overload your vehicle.
Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible
tire failure, increased stop-
ping distances and poor vehi-
cle handling-all of which may
result in a crash.

What to do in an emergency
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture.The compressor and sealing com-
pound system effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensure that the tire is prop-
erly sealed you can drive cautiously
on the tire (distance up to 120 miles
(200 km)) at a max. speed of (50mph
(80 km/h)) in order to reach a service
station or tire dealer for the tire
replacement.
It is possible that some tires, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
One sealant bottle for one tire
When two or more tires are flat,
do not use the tire mobility kit
because the supported one
sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is
only used for one flat tire.
CAUTION
Tire wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit
to repair punctures in the tire
walls. This can result in an acci-
dent due to tire failure.
WARNING
Temporary fix
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may lose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire Mobility
Kit.
