DRIVING
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in front of your vehicle. The system can give you visual, audible, and tactile alerts when a potential collision is determined, and reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable. When a potential collision with a detected oncoming vehicle is determined, the system also alerts you with rapid vibrations on the steering wheel. The system activates when:
• The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in
front of you is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.
• Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a
collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you.
Changing Settings
Determine the warning timing.
1. From the HOME screen, select Settings.
2. Select Vehicle. The vehicle must be in Park (P).
3. Select Driver Assist System Setup.
4. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance.
5. Select Long, Normal, or Short.
6. Press BACK to exit the menu.
*if equipped
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stages before initiating the last stage. Stage 1: Visual and audible warning, steering wheel vibrations
Stage 2: Visual and audible warning and light brake application
Stage 3: Visual and audible warning and strong brake application

Steering vibrations
Important Safety Reminder
CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does not
prevent collisions and may not completely stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the driving conditions.
Turning CMBS On or Off
Press and hold the CMBS OFF button. A beep sounds and a message appears in the MID. The CMBS indicator appears when the system is off.

Jump Starting
Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine, then open the hood.
1. Connect the rst jumper cable to your vehicle’s battery (+) terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the rst jumper cable to the booster battery (+) terminal. Use a 12-volt
booster battery only.
3. Connect the second jumper cable to the booster battery (-) terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to the engine mounting bolt as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable to any other part.
5. If your vehicle is connected to another vehicle, start the assisting vehicle’s engine and increase
its rpm slightly.
6. Canadian models only: Before attempting to start
your vehicle, the immobilizer system must be
reset. To do this, press and hold the brake pedal rmly before turning the vehicle on.
7. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it turns over slowly, make sure that the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously
injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open ames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
WARNING
After the Engine Starts
Once your vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the following order:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle’s ground (engine mounting bolt).
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery (-) terminal.
3. Disconnect the jumper cable from from the booster battery (+) terminal.
4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from your vehicle’s (+) terminal.
5. Have your vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer.
If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected or goes dead: • Some systems are temporarily deactivated. Drive a short distance at 12 mph (20
km/h) or more, and the indicator(s) should go off.
• The immobilizer system needs to be reset (see page 26).*

Overheating
If the temperature gauge pointer is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheating.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.
2. If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood. If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine
and wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the temperature gauge needle comes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop the engine.
4. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low, or no
coolant is in the tank, check that the radiator is cool. Cover the reserve tank cap with a heavy cloth and open the cap. Add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark, and put the cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled suf ciently, restart it and check the temperature gauge. If the temperature gauge pointer has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone down, contact a dealer for repairs.
MAX
Reserve tankMIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you. Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
Removing the reserve tank cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the reserve tank cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge pointer at the H mark may damage the engine.
NOTICE
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:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for
two seconds, or
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also disables the
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require
signi cantly 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.
*if equipped
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle. Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the
best way to transport your vehicle.
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.
For CVT models: If you cannot shift the transmission or turn on the engine, your vehicle must be transported with the front wheels off the ground. Make sure the parking brake
is released. If you cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must be transported by at bed equipment.
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.
