Precautions While Driving
Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the power
system or driveline, or cause electrical component failure.
■In Rain1Precautions While Driving
NOTICE
Do not change the gear position while pressing the
accelerator pedal. You could damage the
transmission.
NOTICE
The following can dama ge the under spoiler:•Parking the vehicle by a parking block
•Parallel parking along the road shoulder
•Driving toward the bottom of a hill•Driving up or down to a different surface level
(such as a road shoulder)
•Driving on a rutted or bumpy road
•Driving on a road with potholes.
NOTICE
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can
eventually damage the system.
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the power system will shut down and all
steering and brake power a ssist functions will stop,
making it difficult to control the vehicle.

hands from the steering wheel. The transmission will switch to the sequential mode.
■When the transmission is in (D:
The vehicle will go into th e sequential mode momentarily, and the sequential mode
gear selection indicator will come on.
Once you start traveling at a constant speed , the sequential mode will automatically
switch off, and the sequential mode gear selection indicator will go off.
Hold the
(+ paddle shifter for two seconds to return to normal drive.
■When the transmission is in (D with SPORT mode:
The vehicle will go into th e sequential mode, and the M (sequential mode) indicator
and sequential mode gear selection indicator will come on.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engi ne speed reaches near the tachometer’s
red zone, the transmission automatically shifts up to 6th.
You can cancel this mode by pulling the
(+ paddle shifter for two seconds. When
the sequential mode is canceled, the sequential mode indicator and sequential
mode gear selection indicator will go off.

uuWhen Driving uReactive Force Pedal
Driving
Reactive Force Pedal
The system increases the accelerator pedal
resistance force when you depress the
accelerator pedal. This gives you the feeling
that the vehicle's accelera tion is in response to
your pedal operation.
At the same time, a slight increase in the accelerator pedal resistance force helps to
modify your driving style to be in an efficient manner especially when you apply
more force to the pedal than is necessary.
The Reactive Force Pedal is designed also to help prevent your wheels from possibly
spinning out due to excessive throttle, an d help make the vehicle start smoothly
when roads are slippery due to ic e, snow, excessive rainfall, etc.1Reactive Force Pedal
The Reactive Force Pedal system in no way restricts or
limits your ability to operate the accelerator pedal to
accelerate the vehicle.
If the Collision Miti gation Braking System
TM (CMBSTM)
detects a possible collision, you may feel an opposing
force from the accelerator pedal. 2 Collision Mitigation Braking System
TM
(CMBSTM) P. 458
You can change the amount of the accelerator pedal
resistance force. 2 Customized Features P. 295

■How to activate the system1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
When the MAIN button is pressed, both ACC with
Low Speed Follow and the Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS) are either turned on or off.
ACC with Low Speed Follow may not work properly
under certain conditions.
2 ACC with Low Speed Follow Conditions
and Limitations P. 407
When not using ACC with Low Speed Follow: Turn
off adaptive cruise by pressing the MAIN button. This
also will turn off the Lane Keeping Assist System

uThe system may not allow your vehicle to respond in
a manner best suited for the road conditions.
•You are entering a toll booth, interchange, service
area, or parking area.
uIf the vehicle ahead disappears from the travel path
of your vehicle, your vehi cle may suddenly accelerate
to resume the set speed.
•You are driving in bad we ather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
uThe system may not be able to correctly determine
the distance between yo ur vehicle and the one

■Automatic ca ncellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the multi-information display when
ACC with Low Speed Follow is automatically canceled. Any of these conditions may
cause the ACC with Low Speed Fo llow to automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor in the front grille gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS, VSA ® or CMBS
TM is activated.
• When the ABS or VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the AC C with Low Speed Follow range is too
close to your vehicle.
• When a detected vehicle goes out of the ACC with Low Speed Follow range while
your vehicle is stationary.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
The ACC with Low Speed Follow automatic cancellation can be also triggered by the
following causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastene d when the vehicle is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes.
• The power system is turned off.
1Automatic cancellation
Even though ACC with Low Speed Follow has been
