NOTICE
Brake Assist System During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake
pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hol\
d the brake
pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. The brake p\
edal may
pulsate slightly during ABS operation; this is normal. Do not pump the b\
rake pedal,
and continue to hold it firmly down.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) System
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns mor\
e or less
than what was intended. It assists in maintaining traction on slippery s\
urfaces by
regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn
VSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and
cornering ability, but not VSA traction and stability
enhancement.
Press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a
beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator
appears when the system is off.

ovides you with
visual and audible warnings.
If you do not brake in time or take preventive action, BRAKE flashes i\

Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; a\
ccuracy

factors. FCW does not include a braking function. It is always your resp\
onsibility to
safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane whil\
e driving

hin your lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in\
use. LDW

based on
weather, speed, and lane marker condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.
