press the button for any length of
time. An indicator light on the
button illuminates when then
ignition is on and when the engine

STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE
When the engine starts for the first time
on your drive, the idle speed increases,
this helps to warm up the engine. If the
engine idle speed does not slow down
automatically, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized dealer.
Before starting the vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in
P . Note:
Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Press the button.
Note: The green ready indicator
illuminates letting you know that the
vehicle is ready for driving. Since your
vehicle is equipped with a silent key start,
the engine may not start at the time of the
vehicle start.
See Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(page 152).
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start the engine, do
the following: 1.
Remove the rubber covering (A) in the
cupholder. Place the remote in the
backup slot (B) at the bottom of the
cupholder.
2. With the key in this position, press the
brake pedal, then the START button to
switch the ignition on and start your
vehicle.

Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radar
or remove the object causing the obstruc-tion.
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty
or obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that it is free from obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is
clean but the message remains in the display.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the
radar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the
surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals.
Wait a short time or switch to normal cruisecontrol.
You are in a desert or remote area with no
other vehicles and no roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it
is possible to get a blockage warning and
not be blocked. This can happen, for
example, when driving in sparse rural or
desert environments. A false blocked
condition will either self clear or clear after
a key cycle.
Switching to Normal Cruise Control WARNING
Normal cruise control will not brake
due to slower vehicles. Always be
aware of which mode you have selected
and apply the brakes when necessary. You can manually change from adaptive
cruise control to normal cruise control
through the information display. The cruise control indicator light
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator light if you
select normal cruise control. The gap
setting will not display, the system will not
automatically respond to lead vehicles and
automatic braking will not activate. The
system defaults to adaptive cruise control
when you start the vehicle.
ECO Cruise Control
This feature saves vehicle energy by
relaxing acceleration compared to
standard cruise control. For example, your
vehicle may temporarily lose speed when
going uphill. ECO will appear in the
information display when you activate ECO
cruise control. It can be switched on or off
in the information display.
