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

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.

DOT Tire Quality Grading
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety requirements. All tires are
also graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according
to Department of Transportation (D
oT) standards. The following explains these
gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall betwee\
n tread
shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety
requirements in
addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of th\
e tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test\
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) tim\
es as well
on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance \
of
tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, servi\
ce practices,
and differences in road characteristics and climate.
TractionThe traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those \
grades
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concre\
te. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hy\
droplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
TemperatureThe temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the\
tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat w\
hen tested
under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test whee\
l. Sustained
high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and re\
duce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. Th\
e grade
C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor
vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and
A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel th\
an the
minimum required by law.
WARNING:

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded.
excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat b\
uildup
and possible tire failure.
