Emergency Engine Stop
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of
the following operations:
The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY, unless
the shift lever is in Park, in which case the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine provides to
the steering and braking systems, it will require significantly more physical effort
and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift gears and use both feet on the
brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the
engine to be switched off.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
NOTICE
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP
button for two seconds, or
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button
two times.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low, the low tire pressure
indicator appears with a message in the multi-information display.
Roll the right selector
wheel to the tire
pressure monitor to
see which tire(s) have
low pressure.
Tire Fill Assist
Your vehicle gives you visual and audible alerts to help you adjust the tire
pressure to its appropriate level. For your reference, the proper tire pressure
levels are located on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
1. Stop your vehicle with the tire that needs to be filled nearest to a tire air fill
hose. Shift into Park (P). Turn the vehicle off.
2. Turn the vehicle on. The assist system is activated for 5 minutes.
3. Attach the air hose to the valve stem, and begin to fill the tire.
While inflating: The system beeps and the hazard lights flash once every 5
seconds as tire pressure changes while below the correct pressure.
When the correct pressure is reached: The system beeps and the hazard lights
flash continuously for 5 seconds. Stop filling the tire.
If you overinflate: The system beeps and the hazard lights flash twice every 5
seconds.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An
overheated tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
