MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for MOD. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in
serious injury or death. .
Do not use the MOD system when
towing a trailer. The system may
not function properly.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume or open
vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance
will be limited according to en-
vironmental conditions and sur-
rounding objects such as:
— When there is low contrast
between background and the
moving objects.
— When there is blinking source of light.
— When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or
sunlight is present.
— When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such
as when mirror is folded.
— When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
— When the position of the mov- ing objects in the display is
not changed.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-BI
system could result in serious injury
or death.
.
The I-BI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dure, is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects
and does not provide full brake
power. When backing out of park-
ing spaces, always use the inside
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the I-
BI system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar or the
sonar. Using the I-BI system un-
der some road, ground, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own operation
to avoid accidents.
The I-BI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind
the vehicle when the driver is backing out
of a parking space.

I-BI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the I-BI
system operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings.
If the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake
for a moment when the vehicle is moving
backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure. If
the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
Starting and driving5-65

If the radar detects an approaching
vehicle from the side, the system chimes
(once), the side indicator light on the side
the vehicle is approaching from flashes
and a yellow rectangular frame
ap-
pears on the touch screen display.

JVS0173XIllustration 2
. In the case of several vehicles ap-
proaching in a row (Illustration 1) or in
the opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the I-BI
system after the first vehicle passes
the sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating
there is an object behind the vehicle
has a higher priority than the I-BI
chime (single beep) indicating an ap-
proaching vehicle. If the sonar system
detects an object behind the vehicle
and the I-BI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time,
the following indications are provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side
of the approaching vehicle flashes,
and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears in the touch screen display.
Starting and driving5-67

The I-BI system can be turned off tem-
porarily by touching the “P” keyon the
touch screen display. The indicator on the
“P” key turns off and the I-BI OFF indicator
appears on the vehicle information dis-
play.
When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position again, the I-BI system is
turned on.
NOTE:
. When the “P” key is touched, the
indicator light on the key will turn off
and the I-BI system will turn off
temporarily. The Moving Object De-
tection (MOD), the Rear Automatic
Braking (RAB) and the sonar sys-
tems will also be turned off at the
same time.
. When the sonar and MOD systems
are turned off on the settings menu
in the touch screen display, the “P”
key will disappear.
To enable or disable the I-BI system, use
the vehicle information display. See
“How to enable/disable the I-BI system”
(P.5-69).

.The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect
every object such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
or child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain
situations:
— Illustration a. When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration b. When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking
space.
— Illustration c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
— Illustration d. When an ap- proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles: — Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The sonar sensor 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.
. The brake engagement by the I-
BI system is not as effective on a
slope as it is on flat ground. When
on a steep slope the system may
not function properly.
. Do not use the I-BI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function properly.
— When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
. When towing a trailer or other
vehicle, turn the I-BI system off to
prevent the occurrence of an un-
expected accident resulting from
sudden system operation. (See “I-
BI system operation” (P.5-65).)
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 MPH (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is
detected when your vehicle is backing up,
the RAB system warning indicator will
flash in the vehicle information display, a
red frame will appear in the touch screen
display (models with the Intelligent
Around View® Monitor system), and the
system will chime three times. The system
will then automatically apply the brakes.
After the automatic brake application, the
driver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the RAB system.
. When the brakes operate, a noise
may be heard. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When the “P” key is touched, the
indicator light on the key will turn off
and the the Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will turn off tempora-
rily. The Moving Object Detection
(MOD) (if so equipped), the Intelligent
Back-up Intervention (I-BI) (if so
equipped) and the sonar systems will also be turned off at the same
time.
. When the sonar and MOD systems is
turned off on the settings menu in
the touch screen display, the “P” key
will disappear.
To enable or disable the RAB system,
use the vehicle information display. See
“Turning the RAB system ON/OFF” (P.5-
119).
