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.

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.

uuBraking uAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up,  and helps you retain steering control by 
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you.
The electronic brake distribu tion (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also 
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pump the brake pedal.  Let the ABS work for you by always 
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pe dal. This is sometimes referred to as 
“stomp and steer.”
■ABS operation
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when  the ABS is working. Keep holding the 
pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to press on the brake pedal very 
hard before the ABS activates. However,  you may feel the ABS activate immediately 
if you are trying to stop on snow or ice.
When the vehicle speed goes under  6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.
■ABS1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an 
incorrect tire type and size.
When the  ABS indicator comes on while driving, 
there may be a problem with the system.
While normal braking is not affected, there is a 
possibility of the ABS not  operating. Have the vehicle 
checked by a dealer immediately.
The ABS does not reduce the ti me or distance it takes 
to stop the vehicle. It only  helps with steering control 
during hard braking.
In the following cases, yo ur vehicle may need more 
stopping distance than a vehicle without the ABS:
•When driving on rough road surfaces, including 
when driving on uneven surf aces, such as gravel or 
snow.
•When snow chains are installed.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the 
engine compartment while system checks are being 
performed immediately after starting the engine or 
while driving. This is normal.

Maintenance
Checking and Maintaining Tires
Checking Tires
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, tread life, and 
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb labe l or specification’s page 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.
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in 
all tires, including the spare. Even tires in  good condition can lose 1-2 psi (10-20 kPa, 
0.1-0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
■Inspection guidelines
Every time you check inflation, also exam ine the tires and valve stems. Look for:
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tire if you find any cuts, 
splits, or cracks in the si de of the tire. Replace it if you see fabric or cord.
• Remove any foreign objects  and inspect for air leaks.
• Uneven tread wear. Have a deal er check the wheel alignment.
• Excessive tread wear.
2 Wear Indicators  P. 521
•Cracks or other damage around valve stem.
1Checking Tires
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This 
means the vehicle has been parked for at least three 
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If 
necessary, add or releas e air until the specified 
pressure is reached.
If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.4 kgf/cm
2) higher than if 
checked when cold.
Whenever tire pressure is adjusted, you must 
calibrate the TPMS. 2 TPMS Calibration  P. 446
Have a dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent 
vibration while driving. Ne w tires and any that have 
been removed and reinst alled should be properly 
balanced.
Check the spare tire pressu re once a month or before 
long trips.
3WARNING
Using tires that are excessively worn or 
improperly inflated can cause a crash in 
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instruction s in this owner’s 
manual regarding ti re inflation and 
maintenance.
