NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1.Installation or extended use of electro-
nic accessories that consume battery
power when the engine is not running
(Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,
etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or
only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.GUID-4F8024F2-EE74-4F4F-B2AF-CDFE05032D9DCONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS-
MISSION (CVT)
GUID-AD9B8476-359E-4FB3-AB57-D63E67CF5891The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
in your vehicle is electronically controlled to
produce maximum power and smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures for this
transmission are shown on the following pages.
Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle
performance and driving enjoyment.
Engine power may be automatically re-
duced to protect the CVT if the engine
speed increases quickly when driving on
slippery roads or while being tested on
some dynamometers.
Starting the vehicleGUID-86C7A18E-C625-473D-8F6C-2622084047AC1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot brake pedal before moving the selector
lever out of the P (Park) position.
This CVT is designed so that the foot
brake pedal must be depressed before
shifting from P (Park) to any driving
position while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
The selector lever cannot be moved out
of the P (Park) position and into any of
the other positions if the ignition
switch is pushed to the LOCK, OFF or
ACC position. 2. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed and
move the selector lever to a driving position.
3. Release the parking brake and foot brake pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in
motion.
WARNING
.Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while shifting from P (Park)
or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse) , D
(Drive) or L (Low) position. Always
depress the brake pedal until shift-
ing is completed. Failure to do so
could cause you to lose control and
have an accident.
. Cold engine idle speed is high, so
use caution when shifting into a
forward or reverse gear before the
engine has warmed up.
. Never shift to P (Park) or R (Re-
verse) while vehicle is moving. Fail-
ure to do so could cause you to lose
control and have an accident.

5-18Starting and driving
SSD1178
The BSW system uses radar sensors*A
installed near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane.
SSD1030
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and
extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone, the BSW indicator
light illuminates. If the driver then activates the
turn signal, a chime will sound twice and the
BSW indicator light will flash.
WARNING
.The BSW system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedure
and is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects.
When changing lanes, always use
the side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will
move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system.
. The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass
through the detection zone quickly.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATIONGUID-B7B4A2DD-5B73-4122-8C65-5DB3CA4A4566If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW indicator light in the
outside mirror will illuminate in the direction of
the detected vehicle. If the turn signal is then
activated, the BSW indicator light flashes and a
chime sounds twice. The indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle leaves
the detection zone.
The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
The brightness of the BSW indicator lights is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-ness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes into
the detection zone after the driver activates the
turn signal, then only the BSW indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. (See “BSW
driving situations” (P.5-20).)
The BSW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the BSW ON
indicator light
*1illuminates on the switch. You
can turn the BSW system off by pushing the
BSW switch on the instrumental panel.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the BSW switch
from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default
status of the BSW system to OFF so that
this system will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this proce-
dure is repeated, the default status will
return to ON.
WARNING
. Do not use the BSW system when
towing a trailer because the system
may not function properly.

The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detec-
tion zone.
SSD1038
If the driver activates the turn signal, then the
BSW indicator light flashes and a chime will
sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
BSW indicator light will flash but no chime
will sound when another vehicle is de-
tected.
BSW temporarily not availableGUID-6D4D6EF8-1DF9-4D89-8011-E54A25724E70.When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and the BSW system
warning light will blink. The BSW system is
not available until the condition no longer
exists.
