All models

4. Turn off the engine.

u The parking brake and brake system indicator goes off in about 15 seconds.

•

Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals

simultaneously.

Holding the vehicle in place when facing uphill by

depressing the accelerator pedal.

Moving the shift lever into (P before the vehicle

stops completely.

Always confirm that the electric parking brake is set, in particular if you are parked

on an incline.

In extremely cold temperatures, the electric parking

brake may freeze up if applied. If such temperatures

are expected, do not apply the electric parking brake

but, if parking on a slope, either turn the front wheels

so they will contact the curb if the vehicle rolls down

the slope or block the wheels to keep the vehicle

from moving. If you do not take either precaution,

the vehicle may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.

uuParking Your VehicleuCross Traffic Monitor^*

Cross Traffic Monitor^*

1Cross Traffic Monitor^*

Monitors the rear corner areas using the radar sensors when reversing, and alerts

you if a vehicle approaching from a rear corner is detected.

3

CAUTION

The system is convenient especially when you are getting out of a parking space

backwards.

Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all

approaching vehicles and may not detect

an approaching vehicle at all.

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to

back up the vehicle before doing so may

result in a collision.

Do not solely rely on the system when

reversing; always also use your mirrors, and

look behind and to the sides of your vehicle

before reversing.

How the System Works

■

Cross tr a ffi c monitor may not detect or may delay

detecting an approaching vehicle, or may alert

detection without an approaching vehicle under the

following conditions:

The system activates when:

• The power mode is in ON.

• The Cross Traffic Monitor system is turned

on.

•

An obstacle, such as another vehicle and a wall,

near your vehicle's rear bumper, is blocking the

radar sensor's scope.

2 Cross Traffic Monitor On and Off P. 588

• The transmission is in (R

.

•

Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 5

km/h or higher.

A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than

between about 10 and 25 km/h.

The system picks up external interference such as

other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong

radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.

Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with

snow, ice, mud or dirt.

• Your vehicle is moving at 5 km/h or lower.

Radar sensors:

Underneath the rear bumper

corners

•

When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor

alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.

•

When there is bad weather.

Your vehicle is on an incline.

Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.

Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a

vehicle, and so on.

The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your

vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly

behind your vehicle.

•

The rear bumper or the sensors have been

improperly repaired or the rear bumper has been

deformed. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

The system does not detect or provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from

your vehicle, and it may not detect or alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary

objects.

For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper

corner area clean.

Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels

or stickers of any kind.

The parking sensor system's alerting buzzer overrides

the Cross Traffic Monitor buzzer when the sensors

are detecting obstacles at the closest range.
