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
multi-information display
becomes a dotted-line
contour.
ACC Range: 328 ft. (100 m)

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

uuWhen Driving uLane Departure Warning (LDW)*
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
display, letting you know that you need to
take appropriate action.
■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.
