Overtaking other vehicles
Illustration 5: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if you overtake a vehicle and that
vehicle stays in the detection zone for approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower moving
vehicles if they are passed quickly.Illustration 6: If the driver activates the turn signal
while another vehicle is in the detection zone,
then the system chimes a sound (twice) and the
Blind Spot Warning indicator light flashes.Illustration 7: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone the system
chimes a sound (three times) and the Blind Spot
Warning indicator light flashes. Then, the BSI
system slightly applies the brakes on the appro-
priate side to help return the vehicle back to the
center of the driving lane.

THE BACK-UP COLLISION
INTERVENTION (BCI) SYSTEM (if so
equipped)
WARNING
●The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure, is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects and does not provide full
brake power. When backing out of park-
ing space, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direc-
tion you will move. Never rely solely on
the BCI system.●There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Us-
ing the BSI and BCI systems under
some road, ground, lane marker, traffic
or weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid
accidents.
BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
The BCI systems can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle or objects behind the ve-
hicle when the driver is backing out of a parking
space.
When the shift position is R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 MPH
(8 km/h), the BCI system operates.The BCI system uses radar sensors
1installed
on both sides near the rear bumper to detect an
approaching vehicle and sonar sensors to detect
objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft. (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approximately
4.9 feet (1.5 m)
3.

5-44Starting and driving

If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side or the sonar detects close stationary
objects behind the vehicle, the system gives vi-
sual and audible warnings, and then applies the
brake for a moment when the vehicle is moving
backwards if no action is taken by the driver. After
the automatic brake application, the driver must
depress the brake pedal to maintain brake pres-
sure. If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system pushes the accelerator upward
before applying the brake. If you continue to
press the accelerator, the system will not engage
the brake.

WARNING
●Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,
animals or child operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that passing at speeds
greater than approximately 15 MPH
(24 km/h)
●The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
a. When a vehicle parked next to you ob-
structs the beam of the radar sensor.
b. When the vehicle is parked in an
angled parking space.
c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined
ground.
d. When an approaching vehicle turns
into your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.e. When the angle formed by your vehicle
and approaching vehicle is small
●The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build up on the vehicle
– Frost up on the vehicle
– Dirt up on the vehicle
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles
●The sonar sensors detect stationary ob-
jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sen-
sor may not detect:
– Small or moving objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Object close to the bumper (less than
approximately 1 ft. (30 cm))– Thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.
●Do not use the BCI systems under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
●Do not use the BCI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
●Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
When the shift lever is placed in R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
5-46Starting and driving

If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) , the Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in display “A”.NOTE:
●In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the BCI system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.
●The sonar system chime indicating there is a
object behind the vehicle has a higher prior-
ity than the BCI chime (single beep) indicat-
ing an approaching vehicle. If the BCI sys-
tem detects an object behind the vehicle
and an approaching vehicle at the same time
the following indications are provided:– The sonar system chime sounds
– The Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side of the approaching vehicle
flashes and
– A yellow rectangular frame appears in
display.
If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is backing
up, a red frame will appear in the displayAand
the system will chime 3 times. Then, the brakes
will be applied momentarily. After the automatic
brake application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure.

CRUISE CONTROL (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-51

The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system
maintains a selected distance from the vehicle in
front of you within the speed range of 0 to
90 MPH (0 to 144 km/h) up to the set speed. The
set speed can be selected by the driver between
20 to 90 MPH (32 to 144 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the road
ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two cruise
control modes.
●Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
For maintaining a selected distance be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle in front of
you up to the preset speed.
●Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode:
For cruising at a preset speed.WARNING
●ICC is not a collision avoidance or warn-
ing device. For highway use only and
not intended for congested areas or city
driving. Will not brake automatically to
a stop. Failure to apply the brakes could
result in an accident.
●Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.
●Always drive carefully and attentively
when using either cruise control mode.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
cruise control. To avoid serious injury or
death, do not rely on the system to pre-
vent accidents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do not
use cruise control except in appropriate
road and traffic conditions.
●In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime will not
sound to warn you if you are too close
to the vehicle ahead. Pay special atten-
tion to the distance between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle ahead of you or a
collision could occur.
