The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and\
size.
NOTICE
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 hol\
d 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. Do not pump\
the
brake pedal, rather continue to hold it firmly down.
When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or\
the
vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a noise from
the motor compartment. These are all normal.
In normal use, the ABS system will occasionally cause a sound from the motor
compartment, especially when the power system is first started or afte\
r repeated
use of the brakes.
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 engin\
e output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or OffvSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn
vSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and
cornering ability, but not vSA traction and stability
enhancement.
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 stops functioning, which may make
it easier when trying to free your vehicle if it is stuck
in mud or snow.

can be
damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied.
NOTICECruise Control
Maintain a constant vehicle speed without having to keep your foot on th\
e
accelerator pedal. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where yo\
u can

Press the ReS/ACCeL button to increase speed or the
DeCeL/SeT button to decrease speed.
each time you press the button, the vehicle speed is
increased or decreased by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). If you
keep the button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or
decreases until you release it.
