Auto Start Stop system (if
equipped)
The Auto Start Stop system is designed to
automatically stop and restart the engine
when the vehicle is stationary for a short
period of time (while waiting for a traffic
light or in a traffic jam, etc.) after the engine
has warmed up. The system operates in
order to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions, as well as undesired
idling noise.
&
System operation
CAUTION
The Auto Start Stop system is de-
signed to automatically stop and
restart the engine for a short period
of time during idling. Do not use the
system when parking the vehicle
normally.
So that it can be used safely and comfor-
tably, in addition to driver operations, the
Auto Start Stop system is designed to
constantly monitor the vehicle conditions
as well as the environment inside and
outside the vehicle, in order to control
stopping and restarting of the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely
stopped by depressing the brake pedal
with the select lever in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically stopped.
If you release the brake pedal with the
select lever kept in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically restarted.

BSD/RCTA (if equipped)
The BSD/RCTA consists of rear corner
radars with Blind Spot Detection and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert.
These functions enable the system to
detect objects or vehicles to the rear,
drawing attention to the driver when
changing a lane or when driving in reverse.
WARNING
The driver is responsible for driving
safely. Always be sure to check the
surroundings with your eyes when
changing lanes or reversing the
vehicle.
The system is designed to assist the
driver to change lanes or reverse
safely by monitoring the rear and
side areas of the vehicle. However,
you cannot rely on this system alone
in assuring the safety during a lane
change or reversing. Overconfi-
dence in this system could result in
an accident and lead to serious
injury or death. Since the system
operation has various limitations,
the flashing or illumination of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
may be delayed or it may not operate
at all even when a vehicle is present
in a neighboring lane or approach-
ing from either side.
The driver is responsible for paying
attention to the rear and side areas
of the vehicle.
&
System features
BSD/RCTA consists of the following func-
tions.
.
To detect a vehicle in a blind spot on an
adjacent lane or a vehicle approaching at
high speed while driving the vehicle (Blind
Spot Detection)
.
To detect a vehicle approaching from
the right or left while reversing the vehicle
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The system uses radar sensors for the
above functions.
NOTE
The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has been
certified by the radio wave related laws
of the U.S. and other FCC compliant
countries, Canada, and Mexico. When
driving in other countries, certification
of the country where the vehicle is
driven must be obtained. For certifica-
tion in the U.S. and other FCC compli-
ant countries, Canada, and Mexico,

Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system (if equipped)
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system
is a system designed to help avoid colli-
sions or reduce collision damage when
reversing the vehicle. If a wall or an
obstacle is detected in the reversing
direction, the system will notify the driver
with a warning sound and may activate the
vehicle’s brakes automatically.
WARNING
.
Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system is not a system
intended to replace the driver’s
responsibility to check surround-
ing areas for vehicles or obsta-
cles to avoid a collision.
.
The driver is responsible for driv-
ing safely. Before reversing, be
sure to first depress the brake
pedal and visually check the
surroundings.
