ACCELERATED WAR M-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
Vehicle Starting:
Your vehicle is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
Cold Start (e.g., First start of the day on cold mornings):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the key
indicator light turns green
(if equipped) push the START/STOP button.
What you will notice: On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for 30 seconds to 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to effcient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.
NOT E:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Normal Start (Emission components within optimal
temperature range):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green push the START/STOP button.

vehicle is being driven at about 10 mph or faster (15 km/h
or faster) and the system’s radar sensor determines that
your vehicle may hit a vehicle or obstruction ahead.

LDWS
LANE DE PA RTU R E WARNING SYSTE M (LDWS) (if equipped)
The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) recognizes painted lane
lines on a road using the forward sensing camera (FSC) installed to the
windshield. If the vehicle deviates from its lane at speeds of 37 mph
or higher, the system alerts the driver of the lane departure using the
following indicator lights and warning sound .
Use the LDWS switch to
turn system ON or OFF
NOTE: Any driver input (e.g., turn signal, steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.

WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary system
for the prevention of a lane departure, however the
LDWS functions have limitations. Do not rely solely
on the LDWS. Relying solely on the LDWS may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in death or
serious injury. Always make lane corrections using
the steering wheel and drive safely.

TIRE PRESSURE MONI TORING SYSTE M (TP MS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
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.
3 Swi tch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Pus h and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side of dash)
until the TPMS warning light
in the
instrument cluster fashes twice and a

NOTE: See Page 7 for TPMS switch location.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not illuminate, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate if the tire pressure is normal.
