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.
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
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 not to 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.
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 find 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 or 
rollover in which you and your passengers can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions and guidelines in this guide.
Keep your speed low, and don’t drive faster than conditions permit.
WARNING
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.

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 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If you cross a detected lane line without using your 
turn signal, a message appears on the display and a
beep sounds.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
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 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 and light steering 
torque is applied to help keep your vehicle within the 
lane.
Beep
Steering assistance
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.
LDW button
Indicator
Turning LKAS On or Off
1. Press the MAIN button. 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 the MAIN or 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.
