WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use isdangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you
want. You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic or
Adaptive Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings
can result in a collision or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will
not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and will not
bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes; and
when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. The
driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking
and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rockingmotion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels.
Then, move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and DRIVE. Using minimal
accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels,
is most effective.
• Allow the engine to idle with the transmission shift lever in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating and reduce
the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) then press the "ESC Off"
switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in "Partial Off" mode, before
rocking the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h)
while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

CAUTION!
• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technol-
ogy (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may de-
crease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is
different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT)
engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a
non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an
emergency, it should be flushed with OAT coolant and replaced with the specified
OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) as soon as possible.
• Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not
use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compatible
with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
• This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is not
recommended.
