Exterior Checks •
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exteri\
or
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•
remove any frost, snow, or ice.
•
Make sure the hood is securely closed.
•
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left u\
nder
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\
nded period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried gra\
ss 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 aft\
er you or
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
•
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
•
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks •
Store or secure all items on board properly.
•
Do not pile items higher in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
•
Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor
mats.
•
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in \
the
vehicle.
•
Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.
•
Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
•
Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll\
under the
seats.
•
everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•
Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.

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 power system \
output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
vSA is turned on every time you start the power
system, even if you previously turned it off. If you
turn
vSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and
cornering ability, but
vSA traction and stability
enhancement become less effective.
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.
Traction control becomes less effective, which may make it easier when t

rying to
free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.

During Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is turned on, the system \
maintains,
accelerates, or decelerates your vehicle to keep the vehicle’s set following
interval from the vehicle ahead.
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed
when you press the accelerator pedal. ACC stays
on unless you cancel it. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resumes the set
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
rAKe appears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
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.
WARNING

eL or MAIN button, or press the
brake pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel
automatically. When this happens, the amber ACC
indicator appears on the multi-information display

.
After adaptive cruise control has been canceled,
you can still resume the prior set speed by pressing
reS/+ when your vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40
km/h).

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
Alerts and helps to assist you if the system determines a possibility of\
your vehicle

If your vehicle is getting too close to detected lane
markings without a turn signal activated, a message
appears in the multi-information display. Steering
wheel torque and vibrations are applied to help your
vehicle stay in the lane.
Braking may also be applied if the lane lines are solid
