closed, indicating that there may be
something in the rear seat.
The feature is active only once each
time the vehicle is turned on and off,
and will require reactivation by
opening and closing the second row
doors. There may be an alert even
when there is nothing in the rear seat;
for example, if a child entered the vehicle through the rear door and left
the vehicle without the vehicle being

ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE
USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGE.
Cigarette Lighter
If equipped with a cigarette lighter, it
is in the center console near the
cupholders. Press on the access door
to open it and use the lighter.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in,
and let go. When it is ready, it will
pop back out by itself.
Caution
Holding a cigarette lighter in while
it is heating does not let the lighter
back away from the heating
element when it is hot. Damage
from overheating can occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse
could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is
heating.
Ashtrays
If equipped, the ashtray is in the
center console cupholder.
Caution
If papers, pins, or other flammable
items are put in the ashtray, hot
cigarettes or other smoking
materials could ignite them and
possibly damage the vehicle. Never
put flammable items in the ashtray.
To remove the ashtray, pull it from
the cupholder. Push it back down to
be sure it is secure.
Warning Lights, Gauges,
and Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal
that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and stays on
while driving, or when one of the
gauges shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator will
light ON and OFF, or the symbols for
on and off, for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator will light
either ON or OFF, or the on or off
symbol, to let you know the status of
the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag. If the word ON or the on symbol is lit
on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag is
allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit
on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See your
dealer for service.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have
the vehicle serviced right away. See
Airbag Readiness Light
0138 for
more information, including
important safety information.
Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on
briefly when the ignition is turned on,
but the engine is not running, as a
check to show the light is working.
It should go out when the engine is
started.
If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may be a problem
with the electrical charging system.
Have it checked by your dealer.
Driving while this light is on could
drain the battery.
When this light comes on, or is
flashing, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) also displays a message.
If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the radio and
air conditioner.

Exterior Lamp Controls
The exterior lamp control is on the
instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel.
Turn the control to the following
positions:
P:Turns off the automatic
headlamps and Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL). Turning the headlamp
control to
Pagain will turn the
automatic headlamps and DRL
back on. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the
off position only works when the
vehicle is shifted into the P (Park)
position.
AUTO :
Automatically turns the
exterior lamps on and off, depending
on outside lighting.
;: Turns on the parking lamps
including all lamps, except the
headlamps.
2: Turns on the headlamps together
with the parking lamps and
instrument panel lights.
When the headlamps are turned on
while the vehicle is on, the headlamps
will turn off automatically 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned off. When
the headlamps are turned on while
the vehicle is off, the headlamps will
stay on for 10 minutes before
automatically turning off to prevent
the battery from being drained. Turn
the headlamp control to off and then
back to the headlamp on position to
make the headlamps stay on for an
additional 10 minutes.

following gap. The range of selectable
gaps may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
Changing the gap setting
automatically changes the alert timing
sensitivity (Far, Medium, or Near) for
the Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
feature. SeeForward Collision Alert
(FCA) System 0243.
Alerting the Driver
If ACC is engaged, driver action may
be required when ACC cannot apply
sufficient braking when approaching a
vehicle too rapidly.
When this condition occurs, the
collision alert symbol on the HUD will
flash on the windshield. Either eight
beeps will sound from the front,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. See
“Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0155.
See Defensive Driving 0187.
Approaching and Following a
Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator is in the
instrument cluster and HUD display.
This indicator only displays when a
vehicle is detected in your vehicle’s
path moving in the same direction.
If this indicator is not displaying, ACC
will not respond to or brake to
vehicles ahead.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle
down and adjusts vehicle speed to
follow the vehicle in front at the
selected following gap. The vehicle
speed increases or decreases to follow
the vehicle in front of you, but will not exceed the set speed. It may apply
limited braking, if necessary. When
braking is active, the brake lights will
come on. The automatic braking may
feel or sound different than if the
brakes were applied manually. This is
normal.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving
Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and react to
stopped or slow-moving vehicles
ahead of you. For example, the
system may not brake for a vehicle
it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or
when a vehicle suddenly appears
due to a vehicle ahead changing
lanes. Your vehicle may not stop
and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your
complete attention is always
required while driving and you
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes.
