Quick Reference Guide
Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA®)
(P 454)
● The vehicle stability assist (VSA® ) system
helps stabilize the vehicle during
cornering, and helps maintain traction
while accelerating on loose or slippery
road surfaces.
● To turn VSA ® on or off, press and hold
the button until you hear a beep.
● VSA ® comes on automatically every time
you turn on the power system.
Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) OFF Button
(P 467)
● When a possible collision is likely
unavoidable, the CMBS
TM can help you to
reduce the vehicle sp eed and the severity
of the collision.
● To turn the CMBS
TM on or off, press and
hold the button until you hear a beep.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
(P 458)
● Detects a change in tire conditions and
overall dimensions due to decrease in tire
pressures.

uuFor Safe Driving uImportant Safety Precautions
Safe Driving
■Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles , and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
■Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
■Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all re gularly scheduled maintenance.

●Comes on for a few seconds when
you set the power mode to ON, then
goes off.
●May come on briefly if the power
mode is set to ON and the vehicle is
not moved within 45 seconds, to
indicate the calibration process is
not yet complete.
●Comes on when:
-One or more tires’ pressures are
determined to be significantly low.
- The system has not been
calibrated.
●Comes on while driving - Stop in a
safe place, check tire pressures, and
inflate the tire(s) if necessary.
●Stays on after the tires are inflated
to the recommended pressures - The
system needs to be calibrated.
2 TPMS Calibration P. 458
●Blinks for about one minute, and
then stays on if there is a problem
with the TPMS.●Blinks and remains on - Have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.

Driving
Before Driving
Driving Preparation
Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on th e windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheel s, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressure, check for damage and excessive wear.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 516
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.
■Exterior Checks1Exterior Checks
NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, 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.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a
fire. If you've parked y our 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.

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Instead of directly measuring the pressu re 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 pressu re in all four tires.
2Checking Tires P. 516
Make sure:
•The vehicle is at a complete stop.
• The shift lever is in
(P.
• The power mode is in ON.
■TPMS Calibration
1Tire 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. 516
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:
•There is a heavier and uneve n load on the tires than
the condition at calibration.
•Snow chains are used.
