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 in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he 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 trunk.
• 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.
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.

Changing the Power Mode*
Use the ENGINE START/STOP button to cycle through power modes or start the 
engine.
Accessory or On mode: Press the ENGINE START/
STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal 
for Accessory mode. Press it again for on mode.
Starting the engine: Press and hold the brake pedal 
or clutch, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. 
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when starting 
the engine.
Turning the vehicle off: Shift to Park (P) or apply the parking brake, then press the 
ENGINE START/STOP button. If you press the button and the shift lever is not in 
Park (P), the vehicle goes into Accessory mode.
*if equipped
Shifting
Change the shift position based on your driving needs.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)*
Park (P): Used for parking or starting/stopping 
the engine. Press the brake pedal, then press the 
release button to shift.
Reverse (R): Used for reversing.
Neutral (N): Used for idling.
Drive (D): Used for normal driving.
Drive (S): Used for better acceleration, increased 
engine braking, driving in hilly terrain, or paddle 
shifting*.
When you change the shift lever from D to R and vice versa, come to a complete 
stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Operating the shift lever before the 
vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the accelerator pedal. You could
damage the transmission.
NOTICE

7-Speed Manual Shift Mode*
Use the paddle shifters to change gears without removing your hands from\
the
steering wheel.
When the shift lever is in D: The vehicle goes into manual shift mode temporarily,
and the gear number appear in the instrument panel. When you start traveling at a 
constant speed or accelerate, manual shift mode automatically turns off,\
and the
gear number goes off.
To cancel manual shift mode, pull and hold the (+) paddle shifter for a\
few
seconds.
When the shift lever is in S: The vehicle goes into manual shift mode, and the
M indicator and gear number appear in the instrument panel. When the vehicle 
comes to a stop, it automatically shifts down into 1st gear. You can pull away only
in 1st gear. If the vehicle speed increases and the engine speed approaches the 
tachometer’s red zone, the transmission automatically shifts up. If the vehicle 
speed decreases, the transmission automatically shifts down accordingly.
To cancel manual shift mode, move the shift lever from S to D. The M indi\
cator and
gear number go off.

the engine. Press the brake pedal, then press the 
release button to shift.
Reverse (R): Used for reversing.
Neutral (N): Used for idling.
Drive (D): Used for normal driving.
Drive (S): Used for driving in hilly terrain or paddle
shifting*.
When you change the shift lever from D to R and vice versa, come to a complete 
stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Operating the shift lever before the 
vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.

Sequential Shift Mode*
Use the paddle shifters to change gears without removing your hands from\
the
steering wheel.
When the shift lever is in D: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode 
temporarily, and the gear number appears in the instrument panel. When you start 
traveling at a constant speed, sequential shift mode automatically turns off, and 
the gear number goes off.
To cancel sequential shift mode, pull and hold the (+) paddle shifter for a few 
seconds.
When the shift lever is in S: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode, and 
the M indicator and gear number appear in the instrument panel. At speeds of 6 
mph (10 km/h) or less, the vehicle automatically shifts down into 1st gear. You can 
pull away only in 1st or 2nd gear. If you do not operate the paddle shifters while 
in 1st gear, the transmission automatically shifts up to 2nd gear. It does not shift 
automatically from 2nd through 6th gears.
To cancel sequential shift mode, move the shift lever from S to D. The M indicator 
and gear number go off.
Second gear lock mode: If you pull the (+) paddle shifter while stopped or driving 
at 6 mph (10 km/h) or less, the gear position will be locked in 2nd gear. This makes 
it easier to pull away on slippery surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.\
To cancel second gear lock mode, pull the (-) paddle shifter, or move the shift lever
from S to D.

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)*
Alerts and helps to assist you if the system determines a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings while driving between 45–90 
mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected lane 
markings without a turn signal activated, a message
appears in the multi-information display. Steering
wheel torque and vibrations are applied to help your 
vehicle stay in the lane.
Braking may also be applied if the lane lines are solid 
and continuous.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system 
beeps to alert you.
Changing Settings
Determine the warning timing. The vehicle must be in Park (P).
1. Models with one display: Press the SETTINGS 
button. Select Vehicle Settings.
Models with touchscreen: From the HoMe
screen, select Settings. Select vehicle.
2. Select Driver Assist System Setup.
3. Select road Departure Mitigation Setting.
4. Select from the options.
Normal (default): Steering control starts from inside the lane edge.
Wide: Steering control starts from outside the lane edge.
Warning Only: The system only provides a BRAKE message, but does not apply 
steering or braking.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
Important Safety Reminder
The RDM system has limitations. Over-reliance on it may result in a collision. It is 
always your responsibility to keep your vehicle within the driving lane.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a dete\
cted lane and
visual and tactile alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its\
lane while driving
between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected left 
or right side lane markings without a turn signal
activated, the system provides visual and tactile
alerts.
A Lane Departure message appears on the multi-
information display, and the steering wheel vibrates. 
Steering torque is also applied to help keep your 
vehicle within your driving lane. Take appropriate
action to stay within your driving lane.
Turning the System On or Off
1. Press the MAIN button. LKAS appears in the 
multi-information display.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear in 
the multi-information display. Dotted lane lines
turn solid when the system activates.
3. Press the MAIN button or the LKAS button to turn 
the system off.
Important Safety Reminder
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 or fa\
il to steer
the vehicle.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto the 
windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.
