LaneWatchTM*
LaneWatch is an assistance system that allows you to check the passenger side rear 
areas displayed on the audio/information screen  when the turn signal is activated to 
the passenger’s side. A camera in the pass enger side door mirror monitors these 
areas and allows you to chec k for vehicles, in addition to your visual check and use 
of the passenger door mirror. You can also  keep the system on for your convenience 
while driving.

Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has 
limitations. Over reliance on LaneWatch may result in 
a collision.
The LaneWatch function can be  affected by weather, 
lighting (including headli ghts and low sun angle), 
ambient darkness, camera  condition, and loading.
The LaneWatch may not prov ide the intended display 
of traffic to the side and rear under the following 
conditions:
•Your vehicle’s suspensi on has been altered, 
changing the height of the vehicle.
•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or 
construction.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to 
change lanes before doing so may result in 
a crash and serious  injury or death.
Do not rely only on LaneWatch while 
driving.
Always look in your mi rrors, to either side 
of your vehicle, and behind you for other 
vehicles before changing lanes.

uu Braking uAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up, a nd helps you retain steering control by 
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you.
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also 
balances the front-to-rear braking distri bution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pump the brake pedal.  Let the ABS work for you by always 
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pe dal. This is sometimes referred to as 
“stomp and steer.”
■ABS operation
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when  the ABS is working. Depress the brake 
pedal and keep holding the pedal firmly dow n. On dry pavement, you will need to 
press on the brake pedal very hard before  the ABS activates. However, you may feel 
the ABS activate immediately if yo u are trying to stop on snow or ice.
ABS may activate when you depress  the brake pedal when driving on:
• Wet or snow covered roads.
• Roads paved with stone.
• Roads with uneven surfaces, such as potholes, cracks, manholes, etc.
When the vehicle speed goes unde r 6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.
■ABS1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use a tire of 
the wrong size or type.
If the ABS  indicator comes on while driving, there 
may be a problem with  the system. While normal 
braking will not be affected, there is a possibility that 
the ABS will not operati ng. Have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer immediately.
The ABS is not designed  for the purpose of reducing 
the time or distance it takes for a vehicle to stop: It is 
designed to limit brake lo ckup which can lead to 
skidding and loss of steering control.
In the following cases, yo ur vehicle may need more 
distance to stop than a vehicle without the ABS:
•You are driving on rough or uneven road surfaces, 
such as gravel or snow.
•The tires are equipped  with snow chains.
The following may be observed with the ABS system:
•Motor sounds coming from the engine 
compartment when the brakes are applied, or 
when system checks are being performed after the 
engine has been  started and while the vehicle 
accelerates.
•Brake pedal and/or the vehicle body vibration when 
ABS activates.
These vibrations and sounds are normal to ABS 
systems and are no cause for concern.

Maintenance
Checking and Maintaining Tires
Checking Tires
To safely operate your vehicle, your tire s must be of the proper type and size, in 
good condition with adequate  tread, and properly inflated.
■Inflation guidelines
Properly inflated tires provide the best  combination of handling, tread life, and 
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb labe l or specifications page for the specified 
pressure.
Underinflated tires wear unev enly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and 
are more likely to fail from overheating.
Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride ha rshly, are more prone to road hazards, 
and wear unevenly.
Every day before you drive, look at each of  the tires. If one looks lower than the 
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
At least once a month or before long trips , use a gauge to measure the pressure in 
all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1-2 psi (10-20 kPa, 
0.1-0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
■Inspection guidelines
Every time you check inflation, also examine the tires and valve stems. Look for:
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tire if you find any cuts, 
splits, or cracks in the side of the tire . Replace it if you see fabric or cord.
• Remove any foreign objects  and inspect for air leaks.
• Uneven tread wear. Have a deal er check the wheel alignment.
• Excessive tread wear.
2 Wear Indicators  P. 704
•Cracks or other damage around valve stem.
1Checking Tires
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This 
means the vehicle has been parked for at least three 
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If 
necessary, add or releas e air until the specified 
pressure is reached.
If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.4 kgf/cm
2) higher than if 
checked when cold.
Have a dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent 
vibration while driving. Ne w tires and any that have 
been removed and reinst alled should be properly 
balanced.
Check the spare tire pressu re once a month or before 
long trips.
3WARNING
Using tires that are excessively worn or 
improperly inflated can cause a crash in 
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instruction s in this owner’s 
manual regarding ti re inflation and 
maintenance.
