Driving your vehicle
The system operates when thevehicle speed is below 7 mph (11
km/h) with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) detecting range is 1.6 feet ~
65 feet based on the side direction.
If the approaching vehicle speed is
2.5 mph (4 km/h) ~ 22 mph (36
km/h) within sensing range, it is
detected. However, the system
sensing range can vary based on
conditions. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.Warning type If the vehicle detected by sensorsapproaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound and the warn-
ing light will blink on the outside
rearview mirror.
If the detected object is not in your way, move the vehicle away from
the detected object slowly; and the
warning will cancel once the object
has been safely cleared.
The system may not operate prop- erly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
❈ If your vehicle's left or right side
bumper is blinded by a barrier or
vehicles, the system sensing abili-
ty may be deteriorated.

Conditions that cause missed
warnings and false warnings:
The lane is not visible due to snow,rain, debris, puddles or other envi-
ronmental conditions.
The brightness outside changes suddenly such as when
entering/exiting a tunnel.
The headlights are off at night or in a tunnel.
The color of the lane marking from the road is difficult to distinguish.
Driving on a steep grade or a curve.
Light such as street lights, sunlight or oncoming vehicle lights reflect
off of water on the road.
The lens or windshield is obscured by debris.
The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or
heavy snow.
The rear view mirror housing has overheated from exposure to direct
sunlight.
The lane is very wide or narrow. The lane line is damaged or indis-
tinct.
The windshield is fogged up by humidity.
Objects in the median or along the side of the road cast shadows over
the lane markings
The sensor cannot distinguish the lane from the road due to the
dust/dirt.
There are other markings similar to lane lines.
There are lane boundaries instead of markings.
The vehicle ahead is very close, obscuring the view of the lane
markings, or the vehicle ahead is
driving over the lane markings.
The vehicle vibrates heavily due to poor road conditions.
The lanes are merging, expanding, or otherwise overlapping
Something reflective is placed on the dashboard. Driving with the sun in front of you.
Driving in areas under construc-
tion.
Lanes are marked by more than two sets of lines.
The windshield is fogged by humid air in the vehicle.
This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm- ful interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including inter-

Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head-
lights.
Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. (On vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature.) Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain: A heavy rainfall will make it harder
to see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
If your tires are not in good condi- tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shape.
Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe you may have gotten your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.

Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you must get
to know your trailer. Acquaint your-
self with the feel of handling and
braking with the added weight of the
trailer. And always keep in mind that
the vehicle you are driving is now a
good deal longer and not nearly so
responsive as your vehicle is by
itself.
Before you start, check the trailer
hitch and platform, safety chains,
electrical connector(s), lights, tires
and mirror adjustment. If the trailer
has electric brakes, start your vehicle
and trailer moving and then apply the
trailer brake controller by hand to be
sure the brakes are working. This lets
you check your electrical connection
at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally
to be sure that the load is secure,
and that the lights and any trailer
brakes are still working.
Following distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sud-
den turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance
up ahead when you’re towing a trail-
er. And, because of the increased
vehicle length, you’ll need to go
much farther beyond the passed
vehicle before you can return to your
lane. Due to the added load to the
engine when going uphill the vehicle
may also take longer to pass than it
would on flat ground.
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, just move your
hand to the left. To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the
right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, have someone guide you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won’t strike soft
shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees,
or other objects near the edge of the
road. Avoid jerky or sudden maneu-
vers. Signal well in advance before
turning or lane changes.
