uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Continued
Driving
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®), aka Electronic 
Stability Control (ESC), System
Helps to stabilize the vehicl e during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than 
what was intended. It also assists in main taining traction on slippery surfaces. It does 
so by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
When VSA® activates, you may notice that the 
engine does not respond to the accelerator. 
You may also notice some noise from the 
hydraulic system. You will also see the 
indicator blink.
■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC), System
VSA ® may not function properly  if tire types and sizes 
are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and type 
of tire, and the air pressures are as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays 
on while driving, there ma y be a problem with the 
system. While this may not interfere with normal 
driving, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer 
immediately.
The VSA ® indicator may come  on after re-connecting 
the battery. Drive a short distance at more than 12 
mph (20 km/h). The indicator  should go off. If it does 
not, have your vehicle  checked by a dealer.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in  all driving situations 
and does not control the entire braking system. You 
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate 
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient 
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally 
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The 
system also includes a  traction control function.

uuWhen Driving uLaneWatchTM*
Driving
LaneWatchTM*
LaneWatch is an assistance system that allows you to check the passenger side rear 
areas displayed on the audio/information screen  when the turn signal is activated to 
the passenger’s side. A camera in the pass enger side door mirror monitors these 
areas and allows you to chec k for vehicles, in addition to your visual check and use 
of the passenger door mirror. You can also keep the system on for your convenience 
while driving.1 LaneWatchTM*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has 
limitations. Over reliance on LaneWatch may result in 
a collision.
The LaneWatch function can be  affected by weather, 
lighting (including headli ghts and low sun angle), 
ambient darkness, camera  condition, and loading.
The LaneWatch may not prov ide the intended display 
of traffic to the side and rear under the following 
conditions:
•Your vehicle’s suspensi on has been altered, 
changing the height of the vehicle.
•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or 
construction.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to 
change lanes before doing so may result in 
a crash and serious  injury or death.
Do not rely only on LaneWatch while 
driving.
Always look in your mi rrors, to either side 
of your vehicle, and behind you for other 
vehicles before changing lanes.

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 driver information interface
*.
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.

•The vehicle is at a complete stop.

■TPMS Calibration
U.S. models
1 Tire 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:
•A compact spare tire is used.•There is a heavier and une ven load on the tires, 
such as when towing a trailer, than the condition at 
calibration.
•Snow chains are used.

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving
Press and hold the TPMS button until the low 
tire pressure/TPMS indicator blinks twice, 
indicating the calibration process has begun.
• If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator does 
not blink, confirm the above conditions 
then press and hold the TPMS button again.
• The calibration process finishes 
automatically.
1TPMS Calibration
•TPMS cannot be calibrated if  a compact spare tire is 
installed.
•The calibration process  requires approximately 30 
minutes of cumulative dr iving at speeds between 
30-65 mph (48-105 km/h).
•During calibration, if the ignition is turned off then 
on again, and the vehicle is not moved within 45 
seconds, the low tire pres sure indicator may come 
on briefly. This is norma l and indicates that the 
calibration process is  not yet complete.
If the snow chains are installed, remove them before 
calibrating the TPMS.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even 
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are 
installed, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.
We recommend that the tires be replaced with the 
same brand, model, and size  as the originals. Ask a 
dealer for details.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on 
after re-connecting the battery. Drive a short distance 
at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). The indicator should 
go off. If it does not, have your vehicle checked by a 
dealer.

Continued
Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring  System (TPMS) - Required 
Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated  to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufa cturer on the vehicle placard 
or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a diff erent size than the size indicated 
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should 
determine the proper tire inflat ion pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your  vehicle has been equipped with 
a tire pressure monitoring system  (TPMS) that illuminates a low 
tire pressure telltale 
when one or more of your tires  is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the  low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you 
should stop and check your tires  as soon as possible, and inflate 
them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inf lated tire causes the tire to 
overheat and can lead to tire fail ure. Under-inflation also reduces 
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect  the vehicle's 
handling and stopping ability.
