with SPORT mode:
The vehicle will go into the sequential shift mode, and the M (sequential shift)
indicator and gear position indicator will come on. At speeds of 6 mph (10 km/h) or
less, the vehicle automatically shifts down into 1st gear. If you do not operate the
paddle shifters while in 1st gear, the transmission automatically shifts up to 2nd
gear.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engine speed reaches near the tachometer’s

uuWhen DrivinguAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
*
358Driving
■There is no vehicle ahead
When driving at 22 mph (35 km/h) or above:
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your vehicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC with LSF accelerates your
vehicle to the set speed, and then maintains it.
When driving under 22 mph (35 km/h) and no
vehicle is detected ahead: ACC with LSF
automatically cancels. The beeper sounds once.
■When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with LSF range.
ACC with LSF stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal,
the system resumes the set speed.■A vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with LSF range and stops
Your vehicle also stops, automatically. The
Stopped message appears on the multi-
information display.
When the vehicle ahead of you starts again,
the vehicle icon on the multi-information
display blinks. If you press the RES/+/SET/–
switch up or down, or depress the accelerator
pedal, ACC with LSF operates again within the
prior set speed.A vehicle icon with dotted-line
contour appears on the multi-
information display
1When in Operation
Limitations
Use the brake pedal to maintain a safe distance with
other vehicles in the following cases. ACC with LSF
may not work properly when:•A vehicle ahead of you is parked when your vehicle
is moving.•Motorcycles or other small vehicles are ahead of
you.•A vehicle cuts in front of you at a short distance.
ACC with LSF may momentarily apply brakes or
sound a beep if there is a vehicle, or even a building,
next to you if:•You make a sudden turn or drive on a narrow road.•You abruptly move the steering wheel.•You are in an unusual position within your lane.
When your vehicle stops automatically because a
vehicle detected ahead of you has stopped, the
distance between the two vehicles will vary based on
the ACC with LSF distance setting, as follows:
Short: 11.5 ft (3.5 m)
Middle: 14.1 ft (4.3 m)
Long, Extra Long: 16.4 ft (5.0 m)

uuWhen DrivinguLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides audible and visual alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
*
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does
not work if you take your hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
2Multi-Information Display Warning and
Information Messages P. 93
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent
the system from detecting lane lines properly.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work properly under the following
conditions:•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or
construction.•Your vehicle’s suspension has been altered,
changing the height of the vehicle.•Your vehicle has heavy load in the trunk or on the
rear seats.•A compact spare tire
* is mounted.
•Driving on snowy or wet roads.•Roadway lane markers are difficult to see due to
weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.) or road conditions.•Driving on a road with temporary lane markings.•Multiple or varied lane markings are visible on the
pavement due to road repairs or old lane markings.•Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted
as lane markers.•On non-freeway roadways and on freeways with
many curves.
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the
steering to keep the vehicle between
the left and right lane lines. The
applied torque becomes stronger as the
vehicle gets closer to either of the lane
lines.
■Audible and visual alerts
Beeps and a warning display alert
you that the vehicle is drifting out of
a detected lane.
When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
() If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS
alerts activate, and torque is applied to the steering.

•Set the wipers to continuous operation.
uTurning the wipers off resumes the
LKAS.
•Decrease the vehicle speed to 40 mph (64
km/h) or less.
uIncreasing the vehicle speed to 45 mph
(72 km/h) or more resumes the LKAS.
•Depress the brake pedal.
uThe LKAS resumes and starts detecting
the lane lines again once you release the
brake pedal.
■The LKAS may automatically be suspended when:
•The system fails to detect lane lines.
•The steering wheel is quickly turned.
•You fail to steer the vehicle.
•The vehicle runs on a curved road over the speed limit.
•The camera temperature gets extremely high or low.
Once these conditions no longer exist, the LKAS automatically resumes.When the LKAS is suspended,
the lane lines on the multi-

Multi-View Rear Camera Display Area
1About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see
the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects
appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing
up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and
high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do
not rely on the rearview display which does not give
you all information about conditions at the back of
your vehicle.
If the camera lens is covered with dirt or moisture,
use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free
of debris.
You can change the Fixed Guideline and Dynamic
Guideline settings.
