DRIVING
DRIVING
Braking
Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your
vehicle from moving.
Brake Assist System During hard or emergency braking, the system
increases braking force. The brake pedal may move
slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to
hold the brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) During hard or emergency braking, the system
rapidly pumps the brakes to prevent wheel lockup
and help you maintain steering control. The brake
pedal may pulsate slightly during ABS operation;
this is normal. Do not pump the brake pedal, and
continue to hold it firmly down.
Parking BrakeKeep the vehicle from moving when it is parked.
To apply: Pull the lever up fully without pressing the
release button.
To release: Press and hold the release button, then
lower the lever down all the way.
Brake peda l
Brake pedal
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and\
size.
NOTICE
release the parking brake fully before driving. The rear brakes and axle \
can be
damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied.
NOTICE
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
Alerts people outside your vehicle when it is powered
solely by electricity and is travelling at about 12 mph
(20 km/h) or less.
Canada models
Press the button to turn the system on and off. The
system defaults to on, even if you turned it off the last
time you drove the vehicle.
Eco Assist System
Can help improve fuel economy by adjusting the performance of the power \
system,
transmission, climate control system, and cruise control.
ECON Button
Press the
eCoN button to turn the system on or off.
The
eCoN Mode indicator and a message in the
multi-information display* appear when the system
is turned on.
Ambient Meter
Color-coded bars change based on your driving
style and brake or accelerator pedal operation.
Green: Fuel-efficient driving
Blue green: Moderate acceleration/deceleration
Blue: Spirited acceleration/deceleration
Ambient Meter
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.

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
143) 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 the
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\
ecessary

, add
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calib\
rate the
system (see page 120). 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 psi
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm2) 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 tires 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.
Examples of
wear indicator
marks
Tire and Loading Information Label
The 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 for your
vehicle.

Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the
owner’s Manual.

AINTENANCEMAINTENANCE
Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving h\
abits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance,\
it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires re\
ach
five years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from\
service after
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or \
state of
wear.
Winter TiresIf driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M\
+S”, snow
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance \
between
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges\
that are the
same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire ChainsInstall tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1036
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch\
the
brake lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can dama\
ge your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting
any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage th\
e
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or k\
illed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of\
tire
chains.
WARNING
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you\

should be aware of are described below.
Here is an example of what each marking means:
215/50R17 94V
•
215: tire width in millimeters
•
50: aspect ratio (tire section height as a
percentage of its width)
•
r: tire construction code (radial)
•
17: rim diameter in inches
•
94: load index (code indicating maximum
load tire can carry)
•
v: speed symbol (code indicating maximum
speed rating)
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identification number
(TIN) is a group of numbers
and letters that look like the
example below. TIN is located
on the sidewall of the tire.
Glossary of Tire TerminologyCold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Load
rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
Maximum Inflation Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the\
tire
can hold.
Maximum Load
rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible inflation pressure for that tire.
recommended Inflation Pressure – The cold tire inflation pressure \
recommended by the manufacturer.
