Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, suc\
h as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understa\
nding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 sec\
onds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
•
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fasten\
ed;
•
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or b\
rake pedal;
and,
•
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances \
in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR unde\
r normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired\
during a
crash investigation.
T

o read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and acces\
s to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
such as law enforcement that have the special equipment can read the inf\
ormation if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. The data belong to the ve\
hicle owner
and may not be accessed by anyone else except as legally required or wit\
h the permission of the vehicle owner.
n
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record inform\
ation about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions l\
aw requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems\
. It may
also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but\
it remains confidential.

ANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Emergency Engine Stop
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of\
the following
operations:
•
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button
for two seconds, or
•
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button
three times.
If the vehicle is in Park (P), the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF. Otherwise, the
power mode changes to ACCESSORY.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also di\
sables the
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it\
will require
significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehi\
cle. Use both feet
on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in
a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the engine to
be switched off.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires
and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.
This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge.
The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle\
can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low,
the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message
appears on the multi-information display. The specific tire
with low pressure is displayed.
n What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust th\
e pressure to
the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on th\
e driver’s doorjamb.
n
Tire Fill Assist
Your vehicle gives you visual and audible alerts to help you adjust the t\
ire pressure to its appropriate level when the vehicle is on.
While inflating: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash once every 5 seconds.
When the correct pressure is reached:

The system beeps and the exterior lights
flash continuously for 5 seconds. Stop filling the tire.
If you overinflate: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash twice every
3 seconds.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICE

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
130 || 131
H
ANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
n Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Required Federal Explanatio\
n
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthl\
y when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehic\
le
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 inflation pressure label, you should determine\
the
proper tire inflation 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 prop\
er
pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TP\
MS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to \
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the syst\
em
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one m\
inute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue up\
on
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be abl\
e to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle \
that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or altern\
ate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually to
reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with t\
he compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repa\
ired or replaced.
n
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the par\
king brake, shift
to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1.
Open the trunk and remove the two tray-holding
bolts.
