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 ammable materials left under the
hood, causing a re. 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 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.
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
In addition: • During the 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 rst 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this when
the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modi cations can affect your vehicle’s handling,
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 modi cations.
WARNING
Interior Checks
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not place anything in the front-seat footwells. Make sure to secure the 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 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 start the
vehicle, and go off soon after.

DRIVING
DRIVING
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected 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, a message appears on the Driver Information Interface, and the steering wheel vibrates. Steering torque is also applied to help keep your vehicle within your driving lane.
Turning the System On or Off
1. Press the MAIN button. LKAS appears in the
Driver Information Interface.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear in the Driver Information Interface. Dotted lane lines turn solid when the system starts operating.
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 fail to steer the vehicle. Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may re ect onto the
windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.

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 Driver Information Interface. 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 type.
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 Road Departure Mitigation Setting.
5. 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 and steering wheel
vibrations, but does not apply steering torque or braking.
6. 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.
