BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the BSW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. The BSW system cannot detect all

vehicles under all conditions.

. The radar sensors may not be

able to detect and activate BSW
when certain objects are present
such as:

— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.

— Vehicles such as motorcycles,

low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.

— Oncoming vehicles.

— Vehicles remaining in the de-

tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.

— A vehicle merging into an

adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle.

— A vehicle approaching rapidly

from behind.

— A vehicle which your vehicle

overtakes rapidly.

— A vehicle that passes through

the detection zone quickly.

— When overtaking several vehi-

cles in a row, the vehicles after
the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling
close together.

. The radar sensor’s detection zone

is designed based on a standard
lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.

. The radar sensors are designed

to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.

. The following conditions may re-

duce the ability of the radar 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 to detect other
vehicles.

. Excessive noise (for example,

audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

CANCEL switch. To properly set the
cruise control system, perform the
following procedures.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS

The cruise control allows driving at
speeds above 25 MPH (40 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control will automatically be
canceled if the vehicle slows down more
than approximately 8 MPH (13 km/h)
below the set speed.
Moving the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position will cancel the cruise control.
