• Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or water.
Depress the brake pedal several
times as you move slowly until you
feel normal braking return.
• Shorten your scheduled mainte- nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand, mud
or water (see "Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions" in chap-
ter 7).
• Make sure that an AWD vehicle is towed by flatbed tow truck.

Driving your vehicle
If you select 'Warning only' for thesystem setting, the FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system do not control the
brake.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The FCA brake control is automat- ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear.

The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
After the brake control is acti- vated, the driver must immedi-
ately depress the brake pedal
and check the surroundings.
The brake activation by the
system lasts for about 2 sec-
onds.
CAUTION
If any other warning soundsuch as seat belt warning
chime is already generated, the
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system warning
may not sound.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system warning sounds.
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

If the detected vehicle is no longer
within the blind spot area, the warn-
ing will turn off according to the driv-
ing conditions of the vehicle.
The warning light on the outer side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surroundings of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system. Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surroundings before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some situations due
to system limitations so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
WARNING
Always pay attention to roadand traffic conditions while
driving, whether or not the
warning light on the outer
side view illuminates or there
is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning
sounds.
If any other warning sound such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system warn-
ing may not sound.

Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check your sur-
rounding when backing the
vehicle up.
The driver is responsible for accurate brake control.
Always pay extreme caution while driving. The Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning sys-
tem and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may not operate prop-
erly or unnecessarily operate
depending on traffic and driv-
ing conditions.
The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.
Pay attention to the road condi-
tions at all times.
WARNING
When the operation conditionof the Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning system is
satisfied, the warning will
occur every time a vehicle
approaches the side or rear of
your stopped (0 mph (0 km/h)
vehicle speed) vehicle.
The system's warning or brake may not operate properly if the
left or right of your vehicle's
rear bumper is blocked by a
vehicle or obstacle.
Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions while
driving, whether or not the
warning light on the outer side
view mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system's warning sounds.
If any other warning sound such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated, the
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system warning may
not sound.

LKA operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys-
tem:
With the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ON or START position, press the
LKA system switch located on the
instrument panel on the left hand
side of the steering wheel. The indi-
cator in the instrument cluster will ini-
tially illuminate ( ) white. This
indicates the LKA system is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.
If you press the LKA switch again,
the indicator on the cluster will go off.
Note that the vehicle
speed must be at least
approximately 40 mph
(64 km/h) to ENABLE the
LKA system. The indicator in the
cluster will illuminate green.
The color of indicator will change
depending on the condition of LKA
system.
- White : Sensor does not detect
lane markers or vehicle
speed is under 40 mph (64
km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects lane mark- ers and the system is able
to control vehicle steering.
The system helps detect lanemarkers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the System".
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LKA system if the
audio volume is high.
If any other warning sound such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) system warning may
not sound.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent the LKA
system from functioning
properly.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated.
The steering wheel is not con- tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.

Display of the driver's attention
level
The driver can monitor his/her driv-
ing conditions on the cluster LCD
display.
The DAW screen will appear when
you select the Assist mode tab
( ) on the LCD display if the sys-
tem is activated. For more details,
refer to "LCD Display Modes" in
chapter 3. The driver's attention level is dis-
played on the scale of 1 to 5. The
lower the level is, the more inatten-
tive the driver is.
The level decreases when the driv- er does not take a break for a cer-
tain period of time.
The level increases when the driv- er attentively drives for a certain
period of time.
When the driver turns on the sys- tem while driving, it displays 'Last
Break time' and level.
Take a break
The "Consider taking a break"message appears on the cluster
LCD display and a warning sounds
to suggest that the driver take a
break, when the driver's attention
level is below 1.
The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system will not suggest a
break, when the total driving time
is shorter than 10 minutes.
