lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•
Remove any frost, snow
, or ice.
•
Make sure the hood is securely closed.
•
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left u\
nder
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\
nded period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried g
rass
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by\
a small
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials aft\
er you or
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
•
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
•
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
DRIVING
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
Interior Checks•
Store or secure all items on board properly
.
•
Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
•
Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor
mats.
•

the
vehicle.

tart

ovides you with

action, the FCW indicator blinks and a beep sounds
continuously.

the vehicle ahead of you. Each time you press the
button, the distance setting cycles through short,
normal, long, and off.
To turn the systen on or off, press and hold the
button until you hear a beep.
Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; a\
ccuracy
of the system will vary based on weather, speed, extreme interior heat, and other
factors. FCW does not include a braking function. It is always your resp\
onsibility to
safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

hin your lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in\
use. LDW
may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary \
based on
weather, speed, and lane marker condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.
