For safety and security
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVA NCED AIRBAGS designed based on the
US motor vehicle safety standards (F MVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly
(ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sen-
sors etc. shown in the system compon ents diagram above. This information
includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a
chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precaution s regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be us ed with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation,
placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear
margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to
your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in . (250 mm) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals com- fortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers
can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, ev en with the driver seat all the way for-
ward, simply by reclining the back of th e seat somewhat. If reclining the back of
your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery
cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is ad justable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward
your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA ab ove, while still maintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steering whee l, and your view of the instrument panel
controls.

Maintenance and care
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
●If the tire pressure drops below a predet ermined level, the driver is warned by
a screen display and a warning light. ( P. 520)
●The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display. ( P. 93)
The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually disp layed on the multi-
information display.
◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pr essure warning valves and transmitters
must also be installed.
When new tire pressure wa rning valves and transmitters are installed, new ID
codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must be initialized. ( P. 475)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following circum-
stances:
●When changing the tire size.
●When rotating the tires.
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when changing travel-
ing speed or load weight.
●After registering the ID codes. ( P. 475)
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire inflation
pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.

Maintenance and care
◆Registering ID codes
Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID code.
When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code.
When registering the ID codes, perform the following procedure.
Park the vehicle in a safe place, wait for approximately 20 minutes, and
then start the engine. ( P. 200)
Press or of the meter control switches and select .
Press or of the meter control switches and select “Vehicle
Settings”, and then press .
Press or of the meter control switches and select “TPWS”, and
then press .
Press or of the meter
control switches and select
“Change Wheel Set”, and then
press and hold until the tire
pressure warning light starts
slowly blinking 3 times.
Then a message will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
When registration is being performed, the tire pressure warning light will blink for
approximately 1 minute then illuminate and “--” will be displayed for the inflation
pressure of each tire on the multi-information display.
Drive at approximately 25 mph (40 km /h) or more for approximately 10 to
30 minutes.
Registration is complete when the tire pressure warning light turns off and the
inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at approxim ately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, reg-
istration can be completed by driving for a long time. However, if registration does
not complete after driving for 1 hour or more, perform the procedure again from
the beginning.
Initialize the tire pressure warning system. ( P. 474)
