Parking Your Vehicle  
When Stopped  
1. Depress the brake pedal firmly.  
2. With the brake pedal depressed, pull up the electric parking brake switch slowly,  
but fully.  
3. Put the transmission into (P.  
4. Turn the power system off.  
3WARNING  
The vehicle can roll away if left unattended  
without confirming that Park is engaged.  
A vehicle that rolls away could cause a crash  
resulting in serious injury or death.  
Always set the parking brake, in particular if you are parked on an incline.  
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal  
until you have confirmed that (P is shown  
on the shift position indicator.  
NOTICE  
The following can damage the driveline:  
• Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals  
simultaneously.  
• Changing to (P before the vehicle stops  
completely.  
When facing uphill, do not hold the vehicle by  
depressing the accelerator pedal.  
Doing so may cause the power system to overheat  
and fail.  
Do not park your vehicle near flammable objects,  
such as dry grass, oil, or timber.  
Heat from the exhaust can cause a fire.

uuParking Your VehicleuWhen Stopped  
1When Stopped  
In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake  
may freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are  
expected, do not apply the 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 VehicleuParking Sensor System*  
Parking Sensor System*  
The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the  
beeper, driver information interface and audio/information screen let you know the  
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.  
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is  
no obstacle near your vehicle before parking.  
The system may not work properly when:  
• The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or dirt.  
• The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.  
• There is something nearby that emits ultrasonic  
waves or high frequency sounds.  
■ The sensor location and range

Rear Center Sensors  
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).  
• Any accessories have been put on or around the  
sensors.  
The system may not detect these obstacles:  
• Thin or low objects.  
• Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton,  
or sponge.  
• Objects directly under the bumper.  
The system may falsely detect obstacles in the  
following situations:  
• The vehicle is on uneven surface, such as grass,  
bumps, or a hill.  
Within about 24 in (60 cm) or less  
Front: Within about 26 in (65 cm) or less  
Rear: Within about 43 in (110 cm) or less  
• When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or  
other objects that emit ultrasonic waves.  
• There is splashing water near the sensors due to  
heavy rains, etc.  
Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.  
• If you put any accessories (such as a towing hitch or  
bicycle rack) on or around the rear sensors, the  
system may activate if it detects these accessories  
as an obstacle. In this case, turn off the rear sensor.

uuParking Your VehicleuCross Traffic Monitor  
Cross 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.  
3CAUTION  
Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all  
approaching vehicles and may not detect  
an approaching vehicle at all.  
The system is convenient when you are backing out of a parking space.  
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.  
Models with parking sensor system  
The parking sensor system’s alerting buzzer overrides  
the Cross Traffic Monitor buzzer when the sensors  
are detecting obstacles at the closest range.

How the System Works  
■
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay  
alerting an approaching vehicle, or may alert without  
an approaching vehicle under the following  
conditions:  
• An obstacle, such as another vehicle and a wall,  
near your vehicle’s rear bumper, is blocking the  
radar sensor’s scope.  
The system activates when:  
• The power mode is in ON.  
• The Cross Traffic Monitor is turned on.  
2 Cross Traffic Monitor On and Off P. 592  
• The transmission is in (R.  
• Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or  
lower.  
• Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph  
(5 km/h) or higher.  
• A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than  
between about 6 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (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.  
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 provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from your  
vehicle, and it may 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.

etc. may have accumulated in the vicinity of the  
sensor. The system is temporarily canceled. Check the  
bumper corners for any obstructions, and thoroughly  
clean the area if necessary.

there may be a problem with the Cross Traffic

An arrow icon appears on the side a vehicle is approaching on the audio/information  
screen.  
If the display remains the same with the transmission  
in (R, there may be a problem with the rear camera  
system and the Cross Traffic Monitor system.  
Do not use the system and have your vehicle checked  
by a dealer.
