Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Instead of directly measuring the pressure  in each tire, the TPMS on this vehicle 
monitors and compares the rolling radius  and rotational characteristics of each 
wheel and tire while you are driving to  determine if one or more tires are 
significantly under-inflated. This will caus e the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to 
come on and a message to appear  on the multi-information display
*.
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.
• Rotate the tires.
• Replace one or more tires.
Before calibrating the TPMS:
• Set the cold tire pressure in all four tires.

■TPMS Calibration
1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The system does not monitor the tires when driving 
at low speed.
Conditions such as low  ambient temperature and 
altitude change directly a ffect tire pressure and can 
trigger the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to come on.
Tire pressure checked and inflated in:
•Warm weather can beco me under-inflated in 
colder weather.
•Cold weather can become  over-inflated in warmer 
weather.
The low tire pressure indica tor will not come on as a 
result of over inflation.
The TPMS may not function pr operly if tire type and 
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and 
type of tire. 2 Checking and Maintaining Tires  P. 537
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on 
with a delay or may not come on at all when:
•You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the 
steering wheel.
•You drive on snowy or slippery roads.•Snow chains are used.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on 
under the following conditions:
•A compact spare tire is used.•There is a heavier and une ven load on the tires, 
such as when towing a trailer, than the condition at 
calibration.
•Snow chains are used.

uuBraking uAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up,  and helps you retain steering control by 
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you.
The electronic brake distribu tion (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also 
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pump the brake pedal.  Let the ABS work for you by always 
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pe dal. This is sometimes referred to as 
“stomp and steer.”
■ABS operation
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when  the ABS is working. Keep holding the 
pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to press on the brake pedal very 
hard before the ABS activates. However,  you may feel the ABS activate immediately 
if you are trying to stop on snow or ice.
When the vehicle speed goes under  6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.
■ABS1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an 
incorrect tire type and size.
When the  ABS indicator comes on while driving, 
there may be a problem with the system.
While normal braking is not affected, there is a 
possibility of the ABS not  operating. Have the vehicle 
checked by a dealer immediately.
The ABS does not reduce the ti me or distance it takes 
to stop the vehicle. It only  helps with steering control 
during hard braking.
In the following cases, yo ur vehicle may need more 
stopping distance than a vehicle without the ABS:
•When driving on rough road surfaces, including 
when driving on uneven surf aces, such as gravel or 
snow.
•When snow chains are installed.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the 
engine compartment while system checks are being 
performed immediately after starting the engine or 
while driving. This is normal.

uuBraking uCollision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)*
Continued
Driving
Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a 
pedestrian detected in front of yours. The CMBSTM is designed to alert you when a 
potential collision is determined, as well as  to reduce your vehicle speed to help 
minimize collision severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
■How the system works
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)*
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBSTM is designed to reduce the severity of an 
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collision nor 
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your 
responsibility to  operate the brake  pedal and steering 
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving 
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a 
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain 
conditions:
2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations  P. 487
You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera
* P. 445
Be careful not to have the  radar sensor cover strongly 
impacted.
1 How the system works
Rapid vibrations on the  steering wheel alert you 
when your vehicle speed  is between 19 and 62 mph 
(30 and 100 km/h) with an oncoming vehicle 
detected in front of you.
When the CMBS
TM activates, it may automatically 
apply the brake. It will be  canceled when your vehicle 
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.
The radar sensor is 
at the lower part of 
the front bumper.
The camera is 
located behind 
the rearview 
mirror.
The system starts monitoring the roadway ah ead when your vehicle speed is about 3 
mph (5 km/h) and there is a vehicle in front of you.
When to use
The CMBSTM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected 
in front of you becomes 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.
