When Driving Starting the Engine
Creep Aid System
■
Automatic transmission (CVT) model
With the shift lever in D or N, this feature applies brake pressure briefly as you
release the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
Hill Start Assist System
■
Manual transmission model
Hill start assist feature helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling on inclines as you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator. Depress the clutch pedal, and shift to
1 when facing uphill, or R when facing
downhill, then release the brake pedal. The brakes remain engaged briefly as you release the brake pedal.
Hill Start Assist System
Hill start assist may not prevent the vehicle from rolling downhill on a very steep or slippery slope, and will not operate on small inclines. Hill start assist is not a replacement for the parking brake. Hill start assist will still operate even when VSA ®
is
switched off.

Handling the Unexpected
Jump Starting
Jump Starting Procedure
■
Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine, then open the hood.
1. Connect the first jumper cable to your vehicle’s battery
terminal.
Connect the other end of the first jumper
2.
cable to the assisting vehicle’s
terminal.
Use a 12 volt booster battery only.
Connect the second jumper cable to the
3.
assisting vehicle’s
terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to the grounding strap as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable to any other part of the engine. If your vehicle is connected to another
5.
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle’s engine and increase its rpm slightly. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If
6.
it turns over slowly, check that the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
Jump Starting
Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the cable ends to touch each other while attaching or detaching the jumper cables. Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and may prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby. Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
