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, exterior 
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 flammable materials left under 
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, 
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass 
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 flammable 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 the floor 
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 floor 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 melt any 
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the 
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle\
’s handling,
stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe. 
The maximum load for your vehicle is 1,340 lbs (608 kg). See the Tire and Loading 
Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Improper accessories or modifications 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
modifications.
WARNING
In addition:
• During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or 
full throttle operation so as to not damage the engine or powertrain.
• 
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this 
when the brake pads are replaced.
Label example
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory, and does not need to be 
adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area or pull a
trailer, have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technician.
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a 
crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.

decreases until you release it.
Canceling Cruise Control
Press CANCEL or the brake pedal. The CRUISE CONTROL 
indicator goes off.
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still

Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has limitations. Over-reliance on the system
may result in a collision.
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may 
result in a crash and serious injury or death.
Do
 not rely only on LaneWatch while driving. Always look in your mirrors, to 
either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other vehicles before changing 
lanes.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
If the camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror detects 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 flashes in the display or 
the FCW indicator blinks, and a beep sounds continuously. 
Changing Settings
Determine the warning timing, or turn the system off. Use the interface dial to 
make and enter selections.
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Select Vehicle Settings. The vehicle must be in 
Park (P).
3. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance.
4. Select Long, Normal, Short, or Off.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy 
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 responsibility to 
safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
A camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror determines if 
your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane while 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 or the LDW indicator blinks, 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 within 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.
