STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering
Power steering uses the motor to as‐sist you in steering the vehicle. If the
engine is off or if the power steering
system becomes inoperative, the vehi‐ cle may still be steered, but it will re‐
quire increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is
controlled by the power steering con‐ trol unit which senses the steering
wheel torque and vehicle speed to com‐
mand the motor.
The steering effort becomes heavier as the vehicleL

• When the coolant temperature is low:The system will be limited until en‐
gine performance becomes normal.
• When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because the engine torque is restricted.
• When using manual mode: The system will be limited according
to the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT
SPORT mode focu‐ ses on dynamic driv‐ing by automatically
controlling thesteering wheel, en‐gine and transaxlesystem.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is pressed and the SPORT mode is se‐
lected, the SPORT indicator (yellow) will illuminate. • Whenever the hybrid system is re‐
started, the Drive Mode will revert
back to ECO mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode from
the DRIVE MODE button
• If the system is activated: - After speeding, it maintains the gear and RPM for some time even
though the accelerator pedal is not depressed.
- Up-shifting is delayed.
NOTICE
In Sport drive mode, the fuel effi‐
ciency may decrease.

LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
05'4
The Lane Keeping Assist System de‐
tects lane markers on the road, and as‐ sists the driver’s steering to help keep
the vehicle between lanes. When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the driv‐
er with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight counter steering
torque, trying to prevent the vehicle
from moving out of its lane.
WARNING
•The steering wheel is not continu‐ously controlled so if the vehiclespeed is very fast when leaving alane the vehicle may not be con‐trolled by the system.
•The operation of the LKAS can beaffected by several factors (in‐cluding environmental conditions).It is the responsibility of the driverto pay attention to the roadwayand to maintain the vehicle in itslane at all times.
•Do not steer the steering wheelsuddenly when the steering wheelis being assisted by the system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•LKAS prevents the driver frommoving out of the lane uninten‐tionally by assisting the driver'ssteering. However, the drivershould not solely rely on the sys‐tem but always pay attention onthe steering wheel to stay in thelane.
•Always check the road conditionand surroundings and be cautiouswhen the system cancels, doesnot operate or malfunctions.
•Do not place any accessories,stickers or tint the windshield nearthe rearview mirror.
•The system detects lane markersand controls the steering wheel bya camera, therefore, if the lanemarkers are hard to detect, thesystem may not work properly.Please refer to L

NOTICE
•We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied with the vehicles.
If not, that affects driving performance.
•When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric pressure to decrease.
Therefore, please check the tire pressure and add more air when necessary.
Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 1.5 psi/km
