• If the button is continually pushed, the setspeed will continue to decrease until the
button is released, then the new set speed
will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a
decrease of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the
button is released, then the new set speed
will be established.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Speed Control system maintains speed
up and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain
may occur so it may be preferable to drive
without Speed Control.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the con-
ditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Speed Con-
trol in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES (+) button and release. Resume can be
used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h)
up to the maximum speed of 100 mph
(160 km/h).
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the
CANC button, or normal brake pressure while
slowing the vehicle will deactivate the Speed
Control without erasing the set speed from
memory.
Pushing the on/off button or turning the igni-
tion switch OFF erases the set speed from
memory.
PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST
If an object is detected behind the rear bum-
per while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a chime
sounds. The chime rate changes depending
on the distance of the object, getting faster
as the object gets closer to the bumper. The
chime sounds off continuously when the dis-
tance between the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than 12 inches (30 cm).
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
Your vehicle is equipped with the ParkView
Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to see
an on-screen image of the rear surroundings
of your vehicle whenever the gear selector is
put into REVERSE. The image will be dis-
played on the touchscreen display along with
a caution note to “check entire surround-
ings” across the top of the screen. After five
seconds this note will disappear. The
ParkView camera is located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate.

occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire re-
paired or replaced immediately.
10. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Refer to “Vehicles
With Alloy Wheels” in this section for
instructions on stowing alloy wheels.
11. Stow the jack and tools under the driv- er’s seat.
12. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure, as
required.
13. When you place the spare tire back on the winch or if you carry the tire in need
of repair on the winch, always check that
the tire is properly secured under the vehicle by pushing on the stowed tire
under the rear bumper at the back of the
vehicle. If the tire has motion when
pushed, use the tools to retighten the
winch until a loud click is heard.
Vehicles With Alloy Wheels
For stowing a damaged tire on vehicles with
alloy wheels, remove the adapter bracket and
bolts from the storage bag in the glove com-
partment and follow the steps below:
1. Take the adapter and fit the plastic spacer
between the spring and the flange of the
bracket (The adapter bracket is sold sepa-
rately through the dealer).
2. The plastic fin must be directed down- wards and perfectly coincide with the
flange cut part; fit the bracket in the
adapter, fold the bracket up and secure it
to the adapter with the fastening knob.
3. Position the tire vertically and lay the mounted adapter on the inner part of the
rim, using the supplied bolts fasten the

the following information: Tire Markings, Tire
Identification Numbers, Tire Terminology and
Definitions, Tire Pressures, and Tire Loading.
Tire Markings
NOTE:
• P (Passenger) — Metric tire sizing is basedon U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires
have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall
preceding the size designation. Example:
P215/65R15 95H. •
European — Metric tire sizing is based on
European design standards. Tires designed to
this standard have the tire size molded into
the sidewall beginning with the section width.
The letter "P" is absent from this tire size
designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H.
• LT (Light Truck) — Metric tire sizing is
based on U.S. design standards. The size
designation for LT-Metric tires is the same
as for P-Metric tires except for the letters
“LT” that are molded into the sidewall pre-
ceding the size designation. Example:
LT235/85R16.
• Temporary spare tires are designed for tem- porary emergency use only. Temporary high
pressure compact spare tires have the letter
“T” or “S” molded into the sidewall preced-
ing the size designation. Example: T145/
80D18 103M.
• High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards and it begins with the tire
diameter molded into the sidewall. Ex-
ample: 31x10.5 R15 LT.

Tire Terminology And Definitions
TermDefinition
B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door.
Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a mini-
mum of three hours. Inflation pressure is measured in units of PSI (pounds per square
inch) or kPa (kilopascals).
Maximum Inflation Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum permissible cold tire inflation pressure
for this tire. The maximum inflation pressure is molded into the sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tire inflation pressure as shown on the tire
placard.
Tire Placard A label permanently attached to the vehicle describing the vehicle’s loading capacity, the
original equipment tire sizes and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures.
