Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Also known as electronic Stability Control (eSC), vSA helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intende\
d. It
assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engin\
e
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

You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed
when you press the accelerator pedal. ACC stays

speed or a sufficient speed to maintain the following
interval.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you,
a beep sounds and B

ACC has limited braking capability
.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will
automatically cancel and no longer will apply your vehicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
U.S. models
each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly\
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the \
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure\
label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated \
on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine\
the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped
with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the\
proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to ove\
rheat and
can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficienc\
y and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’
s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even
if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of\
the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This \
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the \
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be abl\
e
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle \
that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or altern\
ate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

or
compressed air
.
•
Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can\
accumulate.
Vehicle Safety
•
The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking
brake set and the engine off.
•
Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
•
Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
Improperly maintaining this vehicle or failing to correct a problem befo\

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and\
size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
Inflation Guidelines
•
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, trea\
d life, and
comfort.
refer to the driver’
s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page
149) for the specified pressure.
•
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy
,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
•
overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly
, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
•
every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower\
than t
he
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If n\
ecessar
y, add
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calib\
rate the
system (see page 122). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as mu\
ch as
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm
2) higher than checked when cold.
•
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the p\
ressure
in all tires, including the spare.
even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 ps
i
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
•
Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in\
the side
or tread.
remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. replace t
ires if
you see fabric or cord.
•
Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•
Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear
indicator mark
Tire and Loading Information LabelThe label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and
loading information. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause\
a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation
and maintenance
.
WARNING
Tire and Wheel Replacement
replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed ratin\
g, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires
of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to\
work
incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’\
t possible,
replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels.
only use TPMS-specified wheels approved f
or your
vehicle.
