Automatic Transmission/CVT
The engine runs at a higher id le speed and creeping increases.
Keep the brake pedal firmly  depressed when stopped.
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the 
transmission to drop to a lower gear, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed. Depress 
the accelerator pedal carefully, especi ally on slippery roads and curves.

uuWhen Driving uShifting
Driving
Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 7th speeds without removing 
your hands from the steering wheel. The  transmission switches to the 7-speed 
manual shift mode when you pull a paddle shifter while driving. This mode is useful 
when engine braking is needed.
■When the shift lever is in (D:
The shift mode goes into the 7-speed ma nual shift mode temporarily, and the 
number is displayed in the shift indicator.
The 7-speed manual shift mode is canceled  automatically if you drive at constant 
speed or accelerate, and the number  in the shift indicator goes off.
You can cancel this mode by pulling the 
(+ paddle shifter for a few seconds.
The 7-speed manual shift mode is especial ly useful when reducing the vehicle speed 
temporarily before making a turn.
■When the shift lever is in (S:
The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode. The  M indicator and the 
speed number are displayed in the shift indicator. As the vehicle speed slows down, 
the transmission automatically shifts down  accordingly. When the vehicle comes to 
a stop, it automatically  shifts down into 1st.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engi ne speed reaches near the tachometer’s 
red zone, the transmission automatically shifts up.
You can only pull away in 1st speed.
When canceling the 7-speed manual shift mode, move the shift lever from 
(S to 
(D. When the 7-speed manual sh ift mode is canceled, the M indicator and shift 
indicator go off.
■7-Speed Manual Shift Mode1 7-Speed Manual Shift Mode
To improve fuel economy,  the transmission may shift 
up to a higher speed than  the seventh under certain 
circumstances. In this case, the number in the shift 
indicator remains as  7.
In the 7-speed manual shif t mode, the transmission 
shifts up or down by opera ting either paddle shifter 
under the following conditions:
Shift Up: The engine sp eed reaches the lowest 
threshold of the higher speed position.
Shift Down: The engine sp eed reaches the highest 
threshold of the lower speed position.
When the engine speed reaches near the 
tachometer’s red zone, the transmission shifts up 
automatically.
When the engine speed reaches the lowest threshold 
of the selected speed positi on, the transmission shifts 
down automatically.
Operating the paddle shifte rs on slippery surfaces 
may cause the tires to lock up. In this case, the 7-
speed manual shift mode is  canceled and goes back 
to the normal D driving mode. 

uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
450
Driving
The radar sensor monitors the distance be tween your vehicle and a vehicle ahead of 
you. When the sensor detects a change in distance, the system responds it by 
accelerating or braking your vehicle in orde r to maintain the set speed and following 
distance as necessary.
■When in Operation1 When in Operation
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if 
another vehicle cuts in front of you, the beeper 
sounds and a message appears on the multi-
information display to  alert you to brake.
Depress the brake pedal,  and keep an appropriate 
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Even if the distance betw een your vehicle and the 
vehicle ahead is short, FCW may not alert you or ACC 
may start accelerating  your vehicle under the 
following circumstances:
•The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the 
same speed as, or fast er than your vehicle.
•A vehicle cuts in front of you is going faster than 
your vehicle, gradually di stancing itself from you.
If you do not want to hear a beep when the system 
detects a vehicle, or when  the vehicle goes out of 
ACC range, you can change the pre-running detect 
car beep setting. 2 Customized Features  P. 97, 298
Beep■When ACC detects a 
vehicle within ACC range:■When the vehicle goes 
out of ACC range:
The beeper sounds once and 
the vehicle icon appears on the 
multi-information display. The beeper sounds once 
and the vehicle icon on the

becomes a dotted-line 
contour.

uuWhen Driving uForward Collision Warning (FCW)*
Driving
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
Alerts you when it determines that there is a possibility that your vehicle may collide 
with a vehicle detected in front of yours.
If the system determines a collision is possible, it gives both visual and audible alerts, 
including a heads-up warning th at flashes on the windshield.
u Take appropriate action to prevent a col lision (apply the brakes, change lanes, 
etc.).
■How the system works
The system may give warnings of potential  collisions when your vehicle speed is 
above 10 mph (15 km/h).
1 Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all ob jects ahead and may not 
detect a given object; accura cy of the system will vary 
based on weather, speed  and other factors. FCW 
does not include a braking func tion. It is always your 
responsibility to sa fely operate the vehicle and avoid 
collisions.
You can change the Forward Collision Warning 
Distance setting or turn the system on and off. 2 Customized Features  P. 97, 298
For the FCW system to work properly:
•Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.
•Never use chemical solvents or polishing 
compounds to clean the sensor cover. Instead, 
clean it with water and a mild detergent.
•Do not put anything on the radar sensor cover.
See a dealer if the radar  sensor gets damaged or 
requires repair.
The camera is shared with Lane Departure Warning 
(LDW). 2 LDW Camera  P. 461

Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Alerts you when the system  detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally 
crossing over detected side lane markings.
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected 
left or right side lane markings without a turn 
signal activated, LDW will give audible and 
visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the  LDW indicator 
blinks, letting you know  that you need to take 
appropriate action.
The beeper sounds and the  Lane Departure 
message appears on the multi-information

■How the System Works
1 Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is 
always your respons ibility to keep the vehicle within 
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected 
without a turn signal in us e. LDW may not detect all 
lane markings or  lane departures; a ccuracy will vary 
based on weather, speed and  lane marker condition. 
It is always your  responsibility to  safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.
