The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operates to prev
ent sudden starts and mitigate
collision-caused damage by supp
ressing the
engine output for up to approxima
tely 5 seconds when the system
detects a vehicle or
obstacle up to approxima
tely 157 inches (4
m) in front of
and behind your vehicle and the accelerator pe
dal has been depressed too a
ggressively for safe operati
on. This system will only
operate when the
vehicle is at a stop or is moving forward
or backward at less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when another vehicle which may not be visible through theoutside rearview mirror is traveling in the next lane behind your vehicle.
NOTE
 The ultrasonic sensors
do not detect objects
in areas directly below or very close to thebumpers. If the height of
an object is lower
than the sensors, the sensors may not con- tinue detecting it wh
ile the vehicle is
approaching the object,
even if the sensors
can initially detect it.
