ALWAYS look around your
vehicle to make sure there are
no objects or obstacles
before moving the vehicle in
any direction to prevent a col-
lision.
Always pay close attention when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.
Be aware that some objects may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effec-
tiveness of the sensor.
WARNING
[A] : Front Sensor, [B] : Rear Sensor
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 39
inches (100 cm) in front and 47 inch-
es (120 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.

This system is a supplemental
system only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the area around the
vehicle before and while mak-
ing turns or changing lanes.
ALWAYS look around your vehicle to make sure there are
no objects or obstacles
before moving the vehicle in
any direction to prevent a col-
lision.
Objects are closer than they appear. Failure to visually
confirm that is safe to change
the lane before doing so may
result in crash and serious
injury or death.
Always keep the camera lens clean. The camera may not
work normally if the lens is
covered with foreign sub-
stance.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be prop-
erly belted whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. For more infor-
mation, refer to "Seat Belts" in
chapter 2.
Always drive defensively. Assume other drivers or pedes-
trians may be careless and
make mistakes.
Stay focused on the task of driving. Driver distraction can
cause accidents.
Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of
you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and
driving is dangerous and may
result in an accident and SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number
one contributor to the highway
death toll each year. Even a
small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, percep-
tions and judgment. Just one
drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions
and emergencies and your reac-
tion time gets worse with each
additional drink.
Driving while under the influ-
ence of drugs is as dangerous
or more dangerous than driving
under the influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to
have a serious accident if you
drink or take drugs and drive. If
you are drinking or taking
drugs, don't drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been
drinking or taking drugs.
Choose a designated driver or
call a taxi.

Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the gear position when
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift the gear from R (Reverse), N
(Neutral), D (Drive) or Manual mode
to P (Park), press the P button.
If you turn off the engine in D (Drive),
R (Reverse) or Manual shift mode the
shifting automatically changes to P
(Park).
When you park the vehicle, press the
P button while depressing the brake
pedal and then apply the parking
brake.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver's seat, always make sure the
the vehicle is shifted to the P
(Park) position, then apply the
parking brake, and place the
Engine Start/Stop button in
the OFF position. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle move-
ment can occur if these pre-
cautions are not followed.
When using the paddle shifter (manual shift mode), do not
use engine braking (shifting
from a high gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery
roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.
WARNING
Shifting into P (Park) while thevehicle is in motion may cause
you to lose control of the vehi-
cle.
After the vehicle has stopped, always make sure the vehicle
is in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the engine off.
When parking on an incline, shift the gear to P (Park) and
apply the parking brake to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling
downhill.

Good Driving Practices
Never shift from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Never shift into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. If the shift
lever is moved to N (Neutral) while
driving, the vehicle loses the ability
to provide engine braking. Doing
so may increase the risk of an acci-
dent.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released. When driving in Manual shift mode
with the paddle shifter, slow down
before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged if the engine rpms are
outside of the allowable range.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that
results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not
prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehi-
cle control is improved during
emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance
between you and objects ahead
of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The
braking distance for vehicles
equipped with ABS or ESC may
be longer than for those without
these systems in the following
road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following
conditions:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
On roads where the road sur- face is pitted or has different
surface height.
Tire chains are installed on your vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.

Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle's brakes
and intervenes in the engine man-
agement system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC and the ESC OFF
indicator lights illuminate for approxi-
mately three seconds. After both
lights go off, the ESC is enabled.
When operating
When the ESC is in oper-
ation, the ESC indicator
light blinks:
When you apply your brakes under conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This
is normal and it means your ESC is
active.
When the ESC activates, the engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under rou-
tine conditions.
If the Smart Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, the
Smart Cruise Control automatically
disengages. The Smart Cruise
Control can be reengaged when
the road conditions allow. See
"Smart Cruise Control System"
later in this chapter.
When moving out of the mud or driving on a slippery road, the
engine RPM (revolutions per
minute) may not increase even if
you press the accelerator pedal
deeply. This is to maintain the sta-
bility and traction of the vehicle and
does not indicate a problem.
OHI058037
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions when cornering. The
ESC system will not prevent
accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning
on wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.
