Driving your vehicle
system will automatically cancel
when the driver excessively
depresses the accelerator pedal
or sharply steers the vehicle.
During Blind-Spot Safety system
operation, the vehicle may stop
suddenly injuring passengers and
shifting loose objects. Always
have the seat belt on and keep
loose objects secured.
Even if there is a problem with
Blind-Spot Safety system, the
vehicle's basic braking perfor-
mance will operate normally.
Blind-Spot Safety system does
not operate in all situations or
cannot avoid all collisions.
Blind-Spot Safety system may
warn the driver late or may not
warn the driver depending on the
road and driving conditions.
Driver should maintain control of
the vehicle at all times. Do not
depend on Blind-Spot Safety sys-
tem. Maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce driving
speed or to stop the vehicle.
Never operate Blind-Spot Safety
system on people, animal, objects,
etc. It may cause serious injury or
death.
