uuWhen DrivinguAutomatic Transmission
Driving
Automatic TransmissionThe engine runs at a higher idle 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, especially on slippery roads and curves.■Creeping■Kickdown
1Precautions While Driving
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, 
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so 
as to not damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).
You should also follow this when the brake pads are 
replaced.

Driving
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
*
Alerts you when it detects the possibility of your vehicle colliding with the vehicle in 
front of yours.
If the system determines a collision is possible, it gives both visual and audible alerts.
uTake appropriate action to prevent a collision (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).
1Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
*
Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not 
detect a given object; accuracy of the system will vary 
based on weather, speed and other factors. FCW 
does not include a braking function. It is always your 
responsibility to safely operate the vehicle and avoid 
collisions.
You can change the Forward Collision Warning 
Distance setting or turn the system on and off.

Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
*
Alerts you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally 
crossing over detected 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.■How the System Works
1Lane 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 responsibility to keep the vehicle within 
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected 
without a turn signal in use. LDW may not detect all 
lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary 
based on weather, speed and lane marker condition. 
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.

uuWhen DrivinguVSA® (Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic Stability Control), System
Driving
VSA® (Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic Stability Control), SystemVSA® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less 
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces. 
It does so by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
When VSA® activates, you may notice that the 
engine does not respond to the accelerator. 
You may also notice some noise from the 
hydraulic system. You will also see the 
indicator blink.■VSA® Operation
1VSA® (Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic Stability Control), System
The VSA® may not function properly if tire type and 
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and 
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA® indicator comes on and stays on 
while driving, there may be a problem with the 
system. While this may not interfere with normal 
driving, have your vehicle checked by a dealer 
immediately.
VSA® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations 
and does not control the entire braking system. You 
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate 
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient 
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA® system is generally 
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The 
system also includes a traction control function.

■Reference Lines
Three lines that appear on the screen can give 
an idea of how far the vehicles or objects on 
the screen are from your vehicle, respectively. 
If an object is near line 1 (in red), it indicates 
that it is close to your vehicle whereas an 
object near line 3 farther away.
1LaneWatch
TM*
For proper LaneWatch operation:•The camera is located in the passenger side door 
mirror. Always keep this area clean. If the camera 
lens is covered with dirt or moisture, use a soft, 
moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free of 
debris.•Do not cover the camera lens with labels or stickers 
of any kind.•Do not touch the camera lens.

1Reference Lines
The area around the reference line 1 (red) is very close 
to your vehicle. As always, make sure to visually 
confirm the safety of a lane change before changing 
lanes.
The distance between your vehicle and lines 1, 2 and 
3 on the screen vary depending on road condition 
and vehicle loading. For example, reference lines on 
the screen may seem to appear closer than the actual 
distances when the rear of your vehicle is more 
heavily loaded.
Consult a dealer if:•The passenger side door mirror, or area around it is 
severely impacted, resulting in changing the 
camera angle.•The LaneWatch display does not come on at all.
