How does the air bag system
operate
• Air bags are activated (able to inflateif necessary) only when the engine
start/stop button is turned to the ON or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collision or side
collision (if equipped with a side air
bag or curtain air bag) in order to
help protect the occupants from seri‐ ous physical injury.
• There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to in‐
flate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen‐ sors produce an electronic deploy‐
ment/inflation signal. • Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the den‐ sity and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. The determining factors are
not limited to those mentioned
above.
• The front air bags will completely in‐ flate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an ac‐
cident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com‐ partments after the collision.
NOTICE
nIf equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of a rollover (if equipped with
a side air bag or curtain air bag) in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
• In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of the air bag inflation is a consequence of ex‐
tremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to inflate the air
bag between the occupant and the
vehicle structures before the occu‐ pant impacts those structures.
This speed of inflation reduces the
risk of serious or life-threatening in‐
juries in a severe collision and is thus
a necessary part of the air bag de‐
sign.
However, air bag inflation can also cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also cau‐
ses the air bags to expand with a great deal of force.
•
There are even circumstances underwhich contact with the steeringwheel air bag can cause fatal injuries,especially if the occupant is posi‐tioned excessively close to the steer‐ing wheel.

WARNING
•The driver is responsible for theproper position of the passenger’sfront air bag ON/OFF switch.
•Deactivate the passenger's frontair bag only when the EngineStart/Stop button is in the OFF po‐sition, or the malfunction may oc‐cur in the SRS Control Module. Andthere may be a danger that thedriver's and/or front passenger’sand/or side and curtain air bagmay fail to trigger, or not triggercorrectly during a collision.
•Never install a rearward facingchild seat on the front passenger'sseat unless the passenger's frontair bag has been deactivated. Theinfant or child could be severely in‐jured or killed by an air bag deploy‐ment in case of an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Even though your vehicle is equip‐ped with the passenger's front airbag ON/OFF switch, do not install achild restraint system in the frontpassenger's seat. A child restraintsystem must never be placed inthe front seat. Children who aretoo large for child restraint sys‐tems should always occupy therear seat and use the available lap/shoulder belts. Children are affor‐ded the most safety in the eventof an accident when they are re‐strained by a proper restraint sys‐tem in the rear seat.
•As soon as the child seat is no lon‐ger needed on the front passeng‐er's seat, reactivate the front pas‐senger's air bag.

•When using an approved portablefuel container, be sure to place thecontainer on the ground prior torefueling. Static electricity dis‐charge from the container can ig‐nite fuel vapors causing a fire.Once refueling has begun, contactwith the vehicle should be main‐tained until the filling is complete.Use only approved portable plasticfuel containers designed to carryand store gasoline.
•Do not use cellular phones whilerefueling. Electric current and/orelectronic interference from cellu‐lar phones can potentially ignitefuel vapors causing a fire.
•When refueling, always shut theengine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel vaporscausing a fire. Once refueling iscomplete, check to make sure thefiller cap and filler door are secure‐ly closed, before starting the en‐gine.

'SPOU
The parking assist system assists the
driver during movement of the vehicle by chiming if any object is sensed with‐
in the distance of 100 cm (39 in.) in
front and 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need for extreme care and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects detecta‐
ble by the sensors (
) are limited.
Whenever moving pay as much atten‐
tion to what is in front and behind of you as you would in a vehicle without a
parking assist system.
WARNING
The parking assist system shouldonly be considered as a supplemen‐tary function. The driver must checkthe front and rear view. The opera‐tional function of the parking assistsystem can be affected by manyfactors and conditions of the sur‐roundings, so the responsibility restsalways with the driver.

NOTICE
1.The warning may not sound se‐
quentially depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
2.The parking assist system may
malfunction if the vehicle bump‐
er height or sensor installation
has been modified. Any non-fac‐
tory installed equipment or ac‐
cessories may also interfere
with the sensor performance.
3.Sensor may not recognize ob‐
jects less than 30 cm from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect distance. Use with caution.
4.When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a
soft cloth.
5.Do not push, scratch or strike
the sensor with any hard objects
that could damage the surface
of the sensor. Sensor damage
could occur.
NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors, it can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving. Be
sure to inform any drivers in the ve‐
hicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicleis driven close to objects on the road,particularly pedestrians, and espe‐cially children. Be aware that someobjects may not be detected by thesensors, due to the objects distance,size or material, all of which can lim‐it the effectiveness of the sensor.Always perform a visual inspection
