Driver assistance guide
僅 The detecting range of the smart key may vary depending on the surroundings that are
affected by radio waves such as transmission tower, broadcast station, etc.
僅 When remotely moving forward using method (1), it is recognized as an exit situation,
and the vehicle moves 4 m (13 ft.) to check for pedestrians, animals or objects around
the vehicle. After confirmation, the steering wheel is controlled according to the condi-
tion ahead.
僅 When remotely moving forward using method (2), it is recognized as a parking situation,
and will immediately control the steering wheel according to the condition ahead to
assist with entering the parking space and aligning the vehicle. However, performance
may reduce depending on the pedestrians, animals, shape of objects, location, etc.
around the vehicle.
僅 For moving remotely backward, both method (1) and (2) aligns the steering wheel first,
and then will only move the vehicle straight.
WARNING
僅 When using Remote Operation function, make sure that all passengers have gotten out
of the vehicle.
僅 Before leaving the vehicle, close windows and sunroofs, and make sure the vehicle is off
before locking the doors.

parked in a narrow parking space, Remote Operation function will not operate. Always
park your vehicle in a space wide enough for you to get in or out of your vehicle.
僅 Please note that depending on the parking space, you may not be able to exit from the
space you have entered by using Remote Operation function.
僅 After parking, the surrounding may change due to the movement of surrounding vehi-
cles. If this occurs, Remote Operation function may not operate.
