the brake pedal. Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when starting the power system.
The power system is harder to start in cold weather
and in thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet
(2,400 m). When starting the power system in cold
weather, turn off all electrical accessories such as
the lights, climate control system, and rear defogger
in order to reduce battery drain.

oWer button.
Shifting
Change the shift position based on your driving needs.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)Park (P): Used for parking or turning the power on
or off.
Reverse (R): Used for reversing.
Neutral (N): Drive power is not sent to the wheels.
Drive (D): Used for normal driving.
Drive (B): Used for extended downhill driving and to
increase regenerative braking.
When you change the shift lever from D to
r and vice versa, come to a complete
stop and keep the brake pedal depressed.
operating the shift lever before the
vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding wit\
h a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours.
The system can give you visual, audible, and tactile alerts when a poten\
tial collision
is determined, and reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision \
severity
when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
When a potential collision with a detected oncoming vehicle is determine\
d, a B
rAKe
message appears in the multi-information display, the head-up warning lights flash,
a beep sounds, and the steering wheel vibrates.
The system activates when:
•
The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian de\
tected
in front of you is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a co\
llision.
•
Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a ch\
ance of a
collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of \
you.
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on\
the
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stage\
s
before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1:
visual and audible warning, steering wheel vibrations
Stage 2:
visual and audible warning, light brake application
Stage 3:
visual and audible warning, strong brake application
Beep Head-up

warning lights Steering vibrations
Important Safety Reminder
CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It \
does not
prevent collisions nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your responsibility to
operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to th\
e driving
conditions.
Turning CMBS On or Off
Press and hold the CMBS

Overheating
If your engine is overheating, one of two messages will appear on the multi-
information display. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Move the shift
lever to (P) and set the parking brake. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard
warning lights.
High Temperature. Power Reduced.
Keep the power mode on and wait until the message disappears. Have your \
vehicle checked by a dealer if the message remains on.
Engine Temperature Too Hot.
•
If steam or spray is present: Turn off the power system and wait until the steam
or spray stops. Then, open the hood.
•
No steam or spray present: Keep the power system on and open the hood.
Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the power system once t\

operating, immediately turn off the vehicle.
once the engine has cooled, inspect the coolant
level and check the cooling system components for
leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low,
add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is
no coolant in the reserve tank, make sure the radiator
is cool, then cover the radiator cap with a heavy
cloth and open the cap. If necessary

, add coolant up
to the base of the filler neck, and put the cap back on.

or
•
Firmly press the PoWer button two times.
The power mode will change to ACC
eSSorY, or to oFF
if the transmission is in Park (P).
The power assist to the steering and braking will be disabled. Therefore\
, it will
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow \
the

vehicle.
Downshift gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the
vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle\
can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle. Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the
power system to be switched off.

Tire Repair Kit
If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to tempo\
rarily repair it.
The puncture must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire\
sidewall. Go
to a dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.\
This vehicle is
not equipped with a spare tire.
Before Repairing the Tire
1.
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface.
2.
Move the shift lever to Park (P).
3.
Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to veHICLe oFF
(L
oCK).
Getting Ready to Repair the Tire
1.
open the trunk floor lid and take the kit out of the
case.
2.
Place the kit upright on flat ground near the
punctured tire and away from traffic. Do not place
the kit on its side.
3.
Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the tire.
If the required air pressure is not reached within 10 minutes, the tire \
may be too
severely damaged for the kit to provide the necessary seal and your vehi\
cle will need to be towed.
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit compressor for more than 15\
minut

es.
The accessory power socket and compressor can overheat and become
permanently damaged.
NOTICE
running the engine with the vehicle in an enclosed or even partly enclose\
d
area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can cause unconsciousness and even
death.
only run the engine to power the air compressor with the vehicle

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has readiness codes as part of the onboard self-diagnostic s\
ystem.
Some states refer to these codes as testing to verify if your vehicle’\
s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the
testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes \
off, the
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes \
are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness cod\
es are set,
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1.
Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2.
Park the vehicle and leave the power system off for 6 hours or more.
3.
Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°\
C and 35°C).
4.
Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5.
Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Incre\
ase the
engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6.
Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7.
Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the \
highway
with the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear

. Do not use cruise control. When traffic
allows, drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (
vehicle speed
may vary slightly; this is
oK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds
because of traffic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then rep\
eat two mor

e
times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8.
Drive in city or suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffi\
c conditions
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the acceler

ator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9.
Park the vehicle and leave the power system off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set\
again
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, y\
ou may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your de\
aler.
