The warning systems switch is used to
turn on and off the warning systems
(Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind
Spot Warning (BSW) systems) that are
activated using the settings menu on
the center display.
When the warning systems switch is
turned off, the indicator
on the switch
is off. The indicator will also be off if all of
the warning systems are deactivated
using the settings menu.
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) indicator light (orange) to
alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling
close to either the left or the right of a traveling lane with detectable lane mar-
kers. (See “Lane Departure Warning
(LDW)/Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)”
(P.5-23).)
The BSW system will turn on the side
indicator lights, located next to the out-
side mirrors, if the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the
detected vehicle, a chime sounds twice
and the side indicator light will flash. (See
“Blind Spot Warning (BSW)” (P.5-33).)

For driving or starting the vehicle on
snowy roads or slippery areas, push on
the SNOW mode switch. The SNOW mode
indicator light will illuminate. When the

TOW MODE should be used when pulling
a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load.
Driving the vehicle in TOW MODE with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will
not cause any damage. However, fuel
economy may be reduced, and the trans-
mission/engine driving characteristics
may feel unusual.
Push the TOW MODE switch to activate
TOW MODE. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when TOW
MODE is selected. Push the TOW MODE
switch again to turn TOW MODE OFF.

The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator will illumi-
nate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See
