Driving your vehicleThe warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the AEB

ing activation time in the User
Settings in the Driver LCD display.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include the follow-
ing:
FAST - When this condition is
selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning

mizes the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs. NORMAL - When this condition is
selected, the initial
Forward Collision

Driving your vehicle
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
To prevent damage to the trans-
mission, turn OFF the ESC prior to
rocking the vehicle.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis- tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver’s head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
