CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR
FUNCTION
When the corner of the vehicle moves
closer to the object while the Around View
Monitor is displayed, an indicator is
displayed and a tone is sounded by the
corner sonar function to warn the driver.
The color of the corner sonar indicator and
the pattern of the tone vary according to
the distance to the object.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the volume of the tone
increase. When the corner of the vehicle
is very close to the object, the indicator
stops blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.
Keep the corner sonars (located on the
front and rear bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the corner sonar function will
be diminished.
WARNING
.The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The colors of the corner sonar indicator
and the distance guide lines in the front/
rearview indicate different distances to
the object.
. Inclement weather may affect the func-
tion of the corner sonar system; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This function is designed as an 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
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the tone clearly.

Advanced climate control system
The advanced climate control system keeps
the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the ion control and the automatic air intake

This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odor
absorbed into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the

from the outside air circulation mode to
the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is
pushed under the following conditions,
the indicator light on the“

illuminate and the exhaust gas/outside
odor detecting sensor will turn on.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more.
. The exhaust gas/outside odor detecting
sensor detects industrial odors such as
pulp or chemicals and exhaust gas
such as gasoline or diesel.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, for the first 5 minutes, the recircula-
tion mode is selected to prevent dust, dirt
and pollen from entering the vehicle and
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
Plasmacluster
®ions that are emitted from
the ventilator.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects outside
odor and exhaust gas and automatically
alternates between the recirculation mode
and outside air circulation mode.
OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
This is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air will flow nor-
mally from the foot outlets.

5-6Starting and driving
.Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
. Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
.Facilities or electric devices using simi-
lar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies is being used in or near the
vehicle. .
If a computer (or similar equipment) or
a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-
OVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of control
or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-
sive speed, high speed cornering, or
sudden steering maneuvers, because
these driving practices could cause you to
lose control of your vehicle. As with any
vehicle, a loss of control could result in a
collision with other vehicles or objects, or
cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if
the loss of control causes the vehicle to
slide sideways. Be attentive at all times,
and avoid driving when tired. Never drive
when under the influence of alcohol or
drugs (including prescription or over-the-
counter drugs which may cause drowsi-
ness). Always wear your seat belt as
outlined in the “Seat belts”(P.1-11), and
also instruct your passengers to do so.

The BSW system uses radar sensors*A
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane.
SSD1030
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated. This
detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detect a vehicle in the detection
zone, the BSW indicator light illuminates. If
the driver then activates the turn signal, a
chime will sound twice and the BSW
indicator light will flash.
WARNING
. The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not
designed to prevent contact with vehi-
cles or objects. When changing lanes,
always use the side and rear mirrors and
turn and look in the direction you will
move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system.
. The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW indicator light
next to the outside mirror will illuminate in
the direction of the detected vehicle. If the
turn signal is then activated, the BSW
indicator light flashes and a chime sounds
twice. The indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position.The brightness of the BSW indicator lights
is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes
into the detection zone after the driver
activates the turn signal, then only the
BSW indicator light flashes and no chime
sounds. (See
“BSW driving situations” (P.5-
30).)
The BSW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the warning
systems ON indicator light
