Replacing tires
F or vehicles w it h all whee l dr ive, only wheels w ith
the same ro lling circumference should be used .
Avoid using tires with different tread depths
~ page 332, New tires or wheels.
A WARNING
- Also, in vehicles with all wheel drive, adapt your dr iv ing style to the current road and
traff ic conditions. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into tak ing risks,
because th is increases the r isk of an acci­
dent .
- The braking ability of your veh icle is limited
to the tract ion of the wheels. In this way, it
is not diffe rent from a two wheel dr ive vehi­
cle. Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
high speed when the road is slippery, be­
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
- Note that on wet streets, the front wheels
can "hydroplane" if driving at speeds that
are too high . Unlike front whee l drive
vehicles, the engine does not rev higher sud­
denly when the vehicle begins hydroplaning.
For this reason, adapt your speed to the
road conditions to reduce the risk of an acc i­
dent .
Energy management
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener­
gy management system for distributing electrici­
ty . This s ignificantly improves the starting ab ility
and increases the vehicle battery life .
(D Tips
- If you drive short distances frequently, the
vehicle battery may not charge enough
while dr iving . As a resu lt, convenience func­
tions for elect rical equipment may be tem­
porarily unavailable.
- The vehicle battery will gradua lly drain if
the vehicle is not driven fo r long pe riods of
time, or if electrical equipment is used
when the engine is not running . To ensure
that the vehicle can still be started, the electrica l equipment will be reduced or
switched off.
Intelligent Technology
Notice about data
recorded by the Event
Data Recorder and
vehicle control modules
Event Data Recorder
T his vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re­
corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa­
tions, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understand­
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle dy ­
nam ics and safety systems for a short per iod of
t ime, typ ically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
- How various systems in your vehicle were oper­
ating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand­
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and in ­
juries occur. NO TE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driv ing cond itions and no personal data (e.g .,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re­
corded. However, othe r parties, such as law en­
forcement, could comb ine t he EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac­
quired during a crash investigation.
T o read data recorded by an EDR, special equip­
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to th e ve hicle manu­
facturer, other parties, such as law en forcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the in ­
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Some state laws restrict the retrieval or down­
l oading of data stored by ED Rs installed in a vehi ­
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data af­
ter an accident or crash event without the own- er 's consent .
