ignition switch to the OFF position.
In preparation for the next engine start,
the engine may have a slightly delayed
shutoff after placing the ignition switch in
the OFF position, depending on the driv-
ing conditions.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start condi-
tions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec-
tronic accessories that consume
battery power when the engine is
not running (Phone chargers, GPS,
DVD players, etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/
or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health.
REMOTE START (if so equipped)
Vehicles started with the remote engine
start function require the ignition switch
to be placed in the ON position before the
shift lever can be moved from the P (Park)
position. To place the ignition switch in
the ON position, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is
on you.
2. Depress the brake pedal.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON position.
For additional information about the
remote engine start function, see “Re-
mote engine start” (P.3-19).
ENGINE PROTECTION MODE
The engine has an engine protection
mode to reduce the chance of damage
if the coolant temperature becomes too
high (for example, when climbing steep
grades in high temperature with heavy
loads, such as when towing a trailer).
When the engine temperature reaches a
certain level:
. The engine coolant temperature
gauge will move toward the H posi-
tion.
. Engine power may be reduced.
. The air conditioning cooling function
may be automatically turned OFF for a
short time (the blower will continue to
operate).
Engine power and, under some condi-
tions, vehicle speed will decrease. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the accel-
erator 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 accel-
erator pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
LDW and I-LI systems could result in
serious personal injury or death.
.The LDW and I-LI systems will not
prevent loss of control. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehi-
cle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
. The I-LI system may activate if
you change lanes without first
activating your turn signal or, for
example, if a construction zone
directs traffic to cross an existing
lane marker. If this occurs, you
may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the I-LI system may not
activate under the road, weather,
and lane marker conditions de-
scribed in this section, it may not
activate every time your vehicle
begins to leave its lane and you
will need to apply corrective
steering. .
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime that the vehicle is
beginning to leave the driving lane.
. Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) sys-
tem
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime, and helps assist
the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane by
applying the brakes to the left or
right wheels individually (for a short
period of time).

I-LI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-LI system operates above approxi-
mately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and when the
lane markings are clear.
If the vehicle approaches either the left or
right side of the traveling lane, the LDW
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel will flash and a warning chime will
sound. Then, the I-LI system will auto-
matically apply the brakes for a short
period of time to help assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane.
NOTE:
.The I-LI system is not designed to
work when you operate the lane
change signal and change traveling
lanes in the direction of the signal.
(The I-LI system will become oper-
able again approximately 2 seconds
after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. The I-LI braking assist will not oper-
ate or will stop operating and only a
warning chime will sound under the
following conditions.
—When the brake pedal is de-
pressed.
— When the steering wheel is turned
as far as necessary for the vehicle
to change lanes. —
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed while brake control
assist is provided.
— When the ICC, I-DC, I-BSI, BSW, I-
FCW or AEB warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the I-LI system is operating,
you may hear a sound of brake
operation. This is normal and indi-
cates that the I-LI system is operat-
ing properly.

CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000
km), follow these recommendations
to obtain maximum engine perfor-
mance and ensure the future relia-
bility and economy of your new
vehicle.
Failure to follow these recommenda-
tions may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine perfor-
mance.
. Avoid driving for long periods at con-
stant speed, either fast or slow. Do not
run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any
gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possi-
ble.
. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500
miles (805 km). Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator and brake
pedal application.
.Avoid rapid starts and stops..Use smooth, gentle accelerator andbrake application whenever possi-
ble.
.Maintain constant speed whilecommuting and coast whenever
possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
.Synchronizing your speed with traf-fic lights allows you to reduce your
number of stops.
.Maintaining a steady speed canminimize red light stops and im-
prove fuel efficiency.
3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle speeds.
.Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to open windows to cool
the vehicle due to reduced engine
load.
.Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the
vehicle due to increased aerody-
namic drag.
.Recirculating the cool air in thecabin when the A/C is on reduces
cooling load.
4. Drive at economical speeds and dis- tances.
.Observing the speed limit and notexceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h)
(where legally allowed) can improve
fuel efficiency due to reduced aero-
dynamic drag.
.Maintaining a safe following dis-tance behind other vehicles re-
duces unnecessary braking.
.Safely monitoring traffic to antici- pate changes in speed permits
reduced braking and smooth accel-
eration changes.
.Select a gear range suitable to roadconditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady
speed.
.Cruise control is particularly effec-tive in providing fuel savings when
driving on flat terrains.
6. Plan for the shortest route.
.Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save
time.
