DRIVING
DRIVING
Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.
Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exteri\
or lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
• Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
• Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite fl ammable materials left under the hood, causing a fi re. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried gra\
ss
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by\
a small
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover fl ammable materials after you or
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks • Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he fl oor mats.
• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in \
the vehicle.
• Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.
• Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
• Make sure items placed on the fl oor behind the front seats cannot roll under the seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
• Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart the vehicle, and go off soon after.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
DRIVINGIn addition:
• During the fi rst 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
• Avoid hard braking for the fi rst 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this when the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modifi cations can affect your vehicle’s handling, and
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt \
or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s guide regarding accessories and
modifi cations.
WARNING

DRIVING
DRIVING
Forward Collision Warning ( FCW)*
If the camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror det\
ects a
vehicle in front of you when your vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or\
higher—and it
determines there is a likelihood of a frontal collision—the system pr\
ovides you with
visual and audible warnings.
If you do not brake in time or take preventive
action, BRAKE appears in the display and a
beep sounds continuously.
Changing Settings
Determine the alert timing or turn the system off using Customize Settin\
gs menu in
the Vehicle Menu in the i-MID. Use the steering wheel controls to make and en\
ter
selections (see page 38).
1. Press the MENU button on the steering wheel.
2. Select Customize Settings.
3. Select Driving Support System Setup.
4. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance.
5. Select Long, Normal, Short, or Off.
6. Press MENU to exit the menu.
Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; a\
ccuracy
of the system will vary based on weather, speed, extreme interior heat, and other
factors. FCW does not include a braking function. It is always your resp\
onsibility to
safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.
*if equipped
Beep
Lane Departure Warning ( LDW)*
A camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror determin\
es if
your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane whil\
e driving
between 40–90 mph (64–145 km/h).
If you cross a detected lane line without
using your turn signal, a LANE DEP ARTURE
message appears on the display and a
beep sounds.
Turning LDW On or Off
Press LDW to turn the system on or off. A green
indicator light appears on the button when the
system is on.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations. Over-reliance on LDW may result
in a collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the vehicle wit\
hin your lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in\
use. LDW
may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary \
based on
weather, speed, and lane marker condition. It is always your responsibility to \
safely
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other vehicles before ch\
anging
lanes.
