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 tailgate.
• 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.
DRIVING
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 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 manual regarding accessories and
modifi cations.
WARNING
In 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.
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement; however, its higher
ground clearance allows you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads. It \
is not
designed for trail-blazing or other challenging off-road activities.
If you decide to drive on unpaved roads, you will fi nd that it requires somewhat
different driving skills and that your vehicle will handle somewhat diff\
erently than
it does on pavement. Pay attention to the precautions and tips in this s\
ection, and
get acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement.
Improperly operating this vehicle on or off pavement can cause a crash o\
r
rollover in which you and your passengers can be seriously hurt or kille\
d.
Follow all instructions and guidelines in this guide.
Keep your speed low, and don’t drive faster than conditions permit.
WARNING

DRIVING
DRIVING
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 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.

Lane Keeping Assist System (
LKAS)*
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 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If you cross a detected lane line without using
your turn signal, a message appears on the
MID and a beep sounds.
Steering wheel vibrations alert you to steer
your vehicle back to the middle of the lane.
Turning LKAS On or Off
1. Press MAIN. LKAS appears in the MID.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear in the MID. Dotted lane lines turn solid when
the system operates.
3. Press MAIN or the LKAS button to turn the system off.
Important Safety Reminder
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control.
The system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel o\
r fail to
steer the vehicle.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may refl\
ect onto the
windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.
