The warning systems switch is used to turn on
and off the warning systems (Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) , Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW) systems)
that are activated using the settings menu on the
vehicle information display (VID) .
When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator
1on the switch is off. The indicator
will also be off if all of the warning systems aredeactivated using the settings menu.
The FCW system will sound a warning chime and
the vehicle ahead detection indicator light blinks
to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to
the vehicle ahead. (See “Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) system” in the “Starting and
driving” section) .
The LDW system will sound a warning chime and
blink LDW/LDP indicator light (orange) to alert
the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of a traveling lane with detect-
able lane markers. (See “Lane Departure Warn-
ing (LDW) system/Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion) .
The BSW system will turn on the BSW/Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI) indicator lights, located
next to the outside mirrors, if the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the BSW/BSI
indicator light will flash. (See “Blind Spot Warn-
ing (BSW) system/Blind Spot Intervention™
(BSI) system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion) .The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driv-
ing conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor. If
maximum engine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator will come on.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. See “Vehicle Dy-
