11683523) - 2018 - CRC - 7/10/17
94 Instruments and Controls
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light also comes on
when the parking brake is set. See
Parking Brake0156. The light stays
on if the parking brake does not fully
release. If it stays on after the
parking brake is fully released, it
means the vehicle has a brake
problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
The pedal might be harder to push,
or the pedal might go closer to the
floor. It could take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, check the brake
fluid level and have the vehicle
towed for service. See Towing the
Vehicle 0231.
{Warning
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on.
Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to a
crash. If the light is still on after
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
the vehicle has been pulled off
the road and carefully stopped,
have the vehicle towed for
service.
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
MetricEnglish
For vehicles with the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), this light comes on
briefly when the engine is started.
If it does not, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer. If the
system is working normally the
indicator light then goes off.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the
ignition off. If the light comes on
while driving, stop as soon as it is safely possible and turn the ignition
off. Then start the engine again to
reset the system. If the ABS light
stays on, or comes on again while
driving, the vehicle needs service.
If the regular brake system warning
light is not on, the vehicle still has
brakes, but not antilock brakes.
If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, the vehicle does not
have antilock brakes and there is a
problem with the regular brakes.
See
Brake System Warning Light
0 93.
Overdrive Off Light
This light comes on when the
overdrive is turned off.
See Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) 0150.

138 Driving and Operating
There is no hard and fast rule about
hydroplaning. The best advice is to
slow down when the road is wet.
Other Rainy Weather Tips
Besides slowing down, other wet
weather driving tips include:
.Allow extra following distance.
. Pass with caution.
. Keep windshield wiping
equipment in good shape.
. Keep the windshield washer fluid
reservoir filled.
. Have good tires with proper
tread depth. See Tires0200.
. Turn off cruise control.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or through
mountains is different than driving
on flat or rolling terrain. Tips include:
.
Keep the vehicle serviced and in
good shape.
. Check all fluid levels and brakes,
tires, cooling system, and
transmission. .
Shift to a lower gear when going
down steep or long hills.
{Warning
Using the brakes to slow the
vehicle on a long downhill slope
can cause brake overheating, can
reduce brake performance, and
could result in a loss of braking.
Shift the transmission to a lower
gear to let the engine assist the
brakes on a steep downhill slope.
{Warning
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral)
or with the ignition off is
dangerous. This can cause
overheating of the brakes and
loss of steering assist. Always
have the engine running and the
vehicle in gear. .
Drive at speeds that keep the
vehicle in its own lane. Do not
swing wide or cross the
center line.
. Be alert on top of hills;
something could be in your lane
(e.g., stalled car, accident).
. Pay attention to special road
signs (e.g., falling rocks area,
winding roads, long grades,
passing or no-passing zones)
and take appropriate action.
Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or Ice
Snow or ice between the tires and
the road creates less traction or
grip, so drive carefully. Wet ice can
occur at about 0 °C (32 °F) when
freezing rain begins to fall. Avoid
driving on wet ice or in freezing rain
until roads can be treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
.Accelerate gently. Accelerating
too quickly causes the wheels to
spin and makes the surface
under the tires slick.

11683523) - 2018 - CRC - 7/10/17
154 Driving and Operating
Each time the engine is started,
or when the shift lever is shifted to
any position other than D (Drive),
the Overdrive off mode will be
automatically turned off.
Accelerator Downshift in D
Position
For passing or hill climbing, press
the accelerator pedal to the floor.
This shifts the transmission down
into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.
High Fluid Temperature
Protection Mode
If the fluid temperature becomes too
high from climbing a steep grade in
high temperatures, such as towing a
trailer. Engine power and vehicle
speed will be decreased
automatically to reduce the chance
of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the
accelerator pedal but the engine
and vehicle speed may be limited.Fail Safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs,
the CVT will not be shifted into the
selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under
extreme conditions, such as
excessive wheel spinning and
subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated.
The malfunction indicator lamp may
come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. See
Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091. This will occur even if all
electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the
ignition switch in the OFF position
and wait for 10 seconds. Then place
the ignition switch back in the ON
position. The vehicle should return
to its normal operating condition. If it
does not return to its normal
operating condition, have a dealer
check the transmission and repair if
necessary.
{Warning
When the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe
operation occurs, vehicle speed
may be gradually reduced. The
reduced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase
the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving.
If necessary, pull to the side of
the road at a safe place and allow
the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have it
repaired if necessary.

Vehicle Care 191
Engine power and under certain
conditions, vehicle speed will
decrease. Vehicle speed can be
controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not
accelerate at the desired speed.
The transmission will downshift or
upshift as it reaches prescribed shift
points. You can also shift manually.
As driving conditions change and
engine coolant temperature is
reduced, vehicle speed can be
increased using the accelerator
pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.
If:1. The engine coolant temperature is not reduced.
2. The air conditioning cooling function does not turn
back ON.
3. The engine oil pressure low/ engine coolant temperature
high warning light illuminates,
this may indicate a malfunction.
Move the vehicle off the road in
a safe area and allow the engine to cool. If after checking
the oil and coolant, the oil
pressure low/engine coolant
temperature high warning light
remains on, do not continue to
drive. Call your dealer.
The malfunction indicator light may
also come on. If only it remains on,
you do not need to have the vehicle
towed, but have it inspected soon
by your dealer. For additional
information, see Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091.
Washer Fluid
What to Use
When the vehicle needs windshield
washer fluid, read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may fall
below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid until
the reservoir is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0181 for
reservoir location.
Caution
. Do not use washer fluid that
contains any type of water
repellent coating. This can
cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.
