Continued
Driving
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®), aka Electronic 
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during corn ering if the vehicle turns more or less 
than what was intended. It also assists in  maintaining traction on slippery surfaces. 
It does so by regulating engine ou tput 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 indicators for the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®) 
system, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®) OFF, Low Tire 
Pressure/TPMS
* and Collision Mi tigation Braking 
SystemTM (CMBSTM)* may come on after re-
connecting the battery. Drive a short distance at 
more than 12 mph (20 km/h ). The indicators should 
go off. If they do 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.

Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Instead of directly measuring the pressure  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 pressure in all four tires.
2 Checking Tires  P. 548
Make sure:
•The vehicle is at a complete stop.
• The shift lever is in

■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. 548
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.

Driving
Press and hold the TPMS button until the low 
tire pressure/TPMS indi cator 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 pr ocess finishes 
automatically.
You can calibrate the system from the customized 
features on the driver information interface.
1. Press the   then  /  button to select 
 (Vehicle Settings ), then press the 
ENTER  button.
u TPMS Calibration appears on the display.
2. Press the ENTER  button.
u The display switches to the 
customization setup screen, where you 
can select  Cancel or Calibrate .
3. Press the  /  button and select 
Calibrate , then press the  ENTER button.
u Calibration Started  screen appears, 
then the display returns to the 
customization menu screen.
• If the  Calibration Failed to Start  message 
appears, repeat steps 2-3.
• 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 this period, if the igni tion switch is turned to 
ON 
( w*1 and the vehicle is not moved within 45 
seconds, you may notice th e low tire pressure 
indicator comes on briefl y. This is normal and 
indicates that the calibr ation 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.

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring  System (TPMS) - Required 
Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (i f provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated  to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard 
or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated 
on the vehicle placard or tire infl ation 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 tire s is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pr essure 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-in flated tire causes the tire to 
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflat ion also reduces 
fuel efficiency and tire tread li fe, and may affect the vehicle's 
handling and stopping ability.
