tations could result in serious injury or
death.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
• The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental
conditions and surrounding objects
such as:
– When there is low contrast be-
tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
– When there is a 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 a
mirror is folded. –
When there is dirt, water drops or
snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving
objects in the display is not
changed.
• The MOD system might detect flow-
ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.
• The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, di-
rection, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
• If your vehicle sustains damage to
the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.
• When the temperature is extremely

N (Neutral)
Neither forward nor reverse gear is en-
gaged. The vehicle can be placed in the
READY to drive position in this position.
Do not shif t to the N (Neutral) position while
driving. The regenerative brake system
does not operate in the N (Neutral) position.
However, the vehicle brakes will still stop
the car.
D (Drive)
Use this position for all normal forward
driving.If the vehicle is placed in the D
(Drive) position while reversing, the
chime will sound and the vehicle will
switch into the N (Neutral) position. B mode
The B mode engages the regenerative
braking system more aggressively on
downhill slopes, and helps reduce brake
use. It is activated by moving the shif t lever
lef t and down. The shif t lever will then re-
turn to the home position. For additional
information, see “Brake system” (P. 5-161).WARNING
• Be sure the parking brake is released
before driving. Failure to do so could
cause brake failure and lead to an
accident.
• Do not release the parking brake
from outside the vehicle.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
• When leaving the vehicle, apply the
parking brake and push the P (Park)
position switch on the shif t lever.
LSD2837
PARKING BRAKE
5-18Starting and driving

The e-Pedal system provides the following
driving features:
When driving and stopping the vehicle:
• Depressing or returning the acceleratorpedal changes the degree of accelera-
tion and deceleration accordingly.
• Returning the accelerator pedal gener- ates more deceleration than normal. (The
maximum deceleration changes accord-
ing to the vehicle speed.)
• Releasing (taking your foot off ) the accel- erator pedal reduces the vehicle speed
until the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The vehicle’s brake lights illuminate when the deceleration level reaches an ordi-
nary braking operation.
If the deceleration is not sufficient when the
accelerator pedal is returned or released,
depress the brake pedal. The brake pedal
can be operated to reduce the vehicle
speed in the same way as normal even
when the e-Pedal system is activated.
When restarting the vehicle:
• Af ter the vehicle comes to a stop by the e-Pedal system function, the vehicle re-
mains at a stop as long as the accelerator
pedal is released. • The vehicle’s brake lights remain illumi-
nated when the vehicle is stopped by the
e-Pedal system.
• Depress the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle again from a stop.
When the vehicle needs to be stopped for a
certain period of time, place the vehicle in
the P (Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
CAUTION
When the e-Pedal system is turned off,
remember to depress the brake pedal
firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing with the shif t lever in any position
other than P (Park).
When backing up the vehicle:
• With the shif t lever in the R (Reverse) po- sition, operating the accelerator pedal
adjusts the vehicle speed (acceleration,
deceleration, or stopping) in the same
way as the D (Drive) position. Other driving tips for the e-Pedal
system:
• For smooth deceleration when the
e-Pedal system is activated, it is recom-
mended that you adjust the accelerator
pedal by either depressing or returning,
not releasing, the pedal.
• Moving the shif t lever from D (Drive) to B mode or from B mode to D (Drive) does
not affect the e-Pedal system feature.
• The e-Pedal system does not function under the following conditions:– When the vehicle is placed in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position
– When cruise control (if so equipped), ProPILOT Assist (if so equipped), or
Automatic Emergency Braking with
Pedestrian Detection operates

I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-BSI system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• The I-BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate I-BSI when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detec-
tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop. For additional infor-
mation, see “BSI driving situa-
tions” (P. 5-50).
– Oncoming vehicles.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind. –
A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the
detection zone quickly.
• The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects; how-
ever, objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is
a normal operation condition.
• The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the I-BSI system may not oper-
ate properly.
– On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane mark-
ers that are faded or not painted
clearly; yellow painted lane mark-
ers; non-standard lane markers;
lane markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.

• If the driver activates the turn signalbefore a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the
other vehicle is detected.
• I-BSI will not operate or will stop oper- ating and only a warning chime will
sound under the following conditions:– When the brake pedal is depressed.
– When the vehicle is accelerated dur- ing I-BSI system operation.
– When steering quickly.
– When the ICC, I-FCW or AEB with Pe- destrian Detection warnings sound.
– When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
– When driving on a curve at a high speed.
