Safety system of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to “ride” under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
“underride” collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provideadditional occupant protection.
Information
 Vehicles equipped with rollover sensor The side and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover situation, when it is
detected by the rollover sensor.
 Vehicles not equipped with rollover sensor
The side and/or curtain air bags may
inflate when the vehicle is rolled over
by a side impact collision, if the vehicle
is equipped with side and/or curtain
air bags.

Pull the day/night lever towards you to reduce glare from the headlamps
of the vehicles behind you during
night driving.
Remember that you lose somerearview clarity in the night position.
Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati-cally controls the glare from the head-
lamp of the vehicle behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the driver’s view
behind the vehicle. [A] : Indicator

Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system (if equipped)
[A] : Sensor
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system assists the driver
during reverse movement of the vehi-
cle by chiming if any object is sensedwithin the distance of 120 cm (50
inches) behind the vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys- tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, itcannot detect objects in other areaswhere sensors are not installed.
Operation of the ParkingDistance Warning (Reverse)
system
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if vehi-
cle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph),
the system may not detect objects.
If vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), the system will not warn you
even though objects are detected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.
