· Press the Park assist button on the center  console (see page 31) to temporarily deactivate the system(s). 
· The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated. 
· If the vehicle is equipped with front  and  rear park assist, both systems will be  deactivated by pressing the button.
NOTE: 
It may be  necessary  to deactivate one  or both of the park assist systems in certain cases. 
· Rear park assist:  towing a  trailer, carrying bicycles in a  rear-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the rear park assist
system's sensors.  
· Front  park assist:  it may not be  possible to combine  auxiliary headlights and  front  park assist since these lights
could trigger the system's sensors.
Faults in the system  
If a  fault should occur in the system, the LED  in the button will be  switched off and  a  message will be  displayed in the
text window.
Cleaning the sensors
For the system to function properly, the sensors  in the front  and/or rear bumpers  should be  kept clean. They can be
cleaned with car washing detergent and  a  sponge.
WARNING!
These systems are designed to be  a  supplementary aid when parking the vehicle. They are not, however,  intended  to
replace  the driver's attention and  judgement.
pg. 84 Driving economy
Economical driving conserves natural resources  
Better  driving economy may be  obtained  by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and  stops and  adjusting the speed of
your vehicle to immediate traffic  conditions. Observe the following rules:
 Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a  light foot on the accelerator
pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and  is subject to increased wear.
 Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal
operating temperature.
 Drive carefully and  avoid rapid acceleration and  hard braking.
 Do not exceed posted speed limits.
 Avoid carrying unnecessary  items (extra load) in the car.
 Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold).
 Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.
 Note  that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance  and  also fuel consumption.
 Avoid using automatic  transmission kickdown  feature unless necessary.
 Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the A/C compressor places an  additional
load on the engine. However, at higher driving speeds, fuel consumption will be  lower with the air conditioning on and
the windows closed than with the air conditioning off and  the windows open.
 Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you learn how to drive more economically.
Other factors that decrease  gas mileage are:
 Dirty air cleaner
 Dirty engine oil and  clogged oil filter
 Dragging brakes
 Incorrect front  end  alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and  others  are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.
