temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.

Normal Start (Emission components within optimal
temperature range):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the

that detects low tire pressure in one or more tires. In the following cases,
the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire ro tation is pe rformed.
• Any ti re or wh eel is re placed.
•
The ve hicle’s ba tter y is di sconnected, re placed or co mpletely de ad.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated):
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and frmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let t he tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specifed
pressure (S ee ti re la bel lo cated on th e dr i ve r’s si de B- pillar or ed ge
of dr iver’s door frame for specifcation) on all four (4) tires.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL K ICKDOW N SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a
kickdown switch to give the driver more
control and to improve fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the
way, you will feel an increase in resistance.
Push harder, and you will feel a click as you
activate the kickdown switch. The transmission
will usually downshift (depending on engine
speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is
the same in both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
H ILL LAUNCH ASSI ST (H LA)
HL A helps assist you when
accelerating the vehicle from
a stop while on a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released
and the accelerator pedal is pushed, HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling
forward or backward. It operates on a downward slope when the shift lever
is in the reverse (R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is
in a position other than the reverse (R) position.

Smart City Brake Support
Laser Sensor
SCBS system can
be turned off using
DSC Off button.
SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SC BS) SY STEM
(if equipped)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS)
when the system’s laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead:
• When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
•
It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 9.3 mph (15 km/h).
•
When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in
the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h), the brakes
are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS Automatic Brake is
displayed in the Multi-information Display)
• SCBS automatic brake is released approximately 2 seconds after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
