Sensor to detect distance to
the vehicle ahead

Smart Cruise Control uses a sensor
to detect distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean.

Warning message

Radar blocked

When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris,
Smart Cruise Control operation may
stop temporarily. If this occurs, a
warning message will appear on the
cluster display. Remove any dirt,
snow, or debris and clean the radar
sensor lens cover before operating
Smart Cruise Control.

The Smart Cruise Control may not
properly activate, if the radar is total-
ly contaminated, or if any substance is
not detected after turning ON the vehi-
cle (for example, in an open terrain).

Information

For Smart Cruise Control operation is
temporarily stopped if the radar is
blocked, but you wish to use cruise
control mode (speed control function),

Limitations of Smart Cruise
Control

Smart Cruise Control may have lim-
its to its ability to detect distance to
the vehicle ahead due to road and
traffic conditions.

On curves

• The Smart Cruise Control may not

detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will decrease
when the vehicle ahead is recog-
nized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on curves and apply the brakes or
accelerator pedal if necessary.

Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and
select the appropriate set speed.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of the
Smart Cruise Control.

Driving your vehicle

On inclines

• During uphill or downhill driving,

Smart Cruise Control may not
detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and cause your vehicle to
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly
decrease when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on inclines and apply the brake or
accelerator pedal if necessary.

Lane changing

• A vehicle which moves into your

lane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.

• The radar may not detect immedi-

ately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.

• If a slower vehicle moves into your

lane, your speed may decrease to
maintain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.

• If a faster vehicle which moves into

your lane, your vehicle will acceler-
ate to the set speed.

Vehicle recognition

Some vehicles in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-

cles or bicycles

- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-

decelerating vehicles

- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile

such as trailers with no loads

A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing

upwards due to overloading in the
luggage compartment

- While the steering wheel is operat-

ing

- When driving to one side of the

lane

- When driving on narrow lanes or

on curves

Apply the brake or accelerator pedal
if necessary.

• Your vehicle may accelerate when

a vehicle ahead of you disappears.

• When you are warned that the

vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution.

• When driving in stop-and-go traffic,

and a stopped vehicle in front of
you merges out of the lane, the
function may not immediately
detect the new vehicle that is now
in front of you. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

Hazardous Driving Conditions

When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud and sand, take the
bellow suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and keep a longer

braking distance.

• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in snow,

mud, or sand, turn off the vehicle.
Remove the mud, snow or sand
from around the front wheels and
restart the vehicle. Accelerate
slowly to avoid unnecessary wheel
spin.

• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or

other non-slip materials under the
wheels to provide additional trac-
tion while the vehicle becomes
stuck in ice, snow, or mud.

Rocking the Vehicle

If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and a for-
ward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and
do not race the vehicle.
To prevent reduction gear wear, wait
until the wheels stop spinning before
shifting gears. Release the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting, and press
lightly on the accelerator pedal while
the reduction gear is in gear. Slowly
spinning the wheels in forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking
motion that may free the vehicle.

TIIO

If the vehicle is stuck and
excessive wheel spin occurs,
the temperature in the tires can
increase very quickly. If the tires
become damaged, a tire blow
out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous -
you and others may be injured.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehi-
cle, the vehicle can overheat
quickly, possibly causing an
fuel cell power module com-
partment fire or other damage.
Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either
the tires or the vehicle. DO NOT
allow the vehicle to spin the
wheels above 35 mph (56 km/h).

Information

The ESC system (if equipped) must be
turned OFF before rocking the vehi-
cle.

If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid vehicle overheating, pos-
sible damage to the reduction
gear and tire damage.

See

"Towing" in chapter 6.

Smooth Cornering

Avoid braking, especially when roads
are wet. Ideally, corners should
always be taken under gentle accel-
eration.

Driving at Night

Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-

tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.

• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the

glare from other driver's head-
lights.

• Keep your headlights clean and

properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.

• Avoid staring directly at the head-

lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.

Driving in the Rain

Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra follow-

ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.

• Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if

equipped)

• Replace your windshield wiper

blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.

• Be sure your tires have enough

tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.

See "Tire Tread" in chapter 7

• Turn on your headlights to make it

easier for others to see you.

• Driving too fast through large pud-

dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.

NOTICE

5-128

Driving your vehicle

• If you believe your brakes may be

wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.

Hydroplaning

If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.

The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tire tread
decreases, refer to "Tire Tread" in
chapter 7.

Driving in Flooded Areas

Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.

Highway Driving

Tires

Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tires, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.

Information

Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci-
fied on your tires.

Coolant and high voltage bat-
tery

Be sure to check both the coolant
level and the high voltage battery
level before driving.

Reducing the Risk of a
Rollover

Your multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). SUV's have higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make them capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. The specific design
characteristics give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehi-
cles making them more likely to roll
over if you make abrupt turns. Utility
vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehi-
cles. Due to this risk, driver and pas-
sengers are strongly recommended
to buckle their seat belts. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted person is signifi-
cantly more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can
make to reduce the risk of a rollover.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt maneuvers, do not load your
vehicle with heavy cargo on the roof,
and never modify your vehicle in any
way.

Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. To pre-
vent rollovers or loss of control:

•

Take corners at slower speeds
than you would with a passen-
ger vehicle.

•

Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.

•

Do not modify your vehicle in
any way that you would raise
the center of gravity.

•

Keep tires properly inflated.

•

Do not carry heavy cargo on
the roof.
