OPERATING RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the speci-
fied operating range.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key system’s operating range becomes nar-
rower and may not function properly.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone, even some-
one who does not carry the Intelligent Key, to
push the ignition switch to start the engine.The operating range of the engine start func-
tion is inside of the vehicle
O1.
• The luggage area is not included in the operating range, but the Intelligent Key
may function.
• If the Intelligent Key is placed on the instru- ment panel or inside the glove box, storage
bin or door pocket, the Intelligent Key may
not function.
• If the Intelligent Key is placed near the door or window outside the vehicle, the Intelli-
gent Key may function.
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION
SWITCH POSITIONS
LOCK (Normal parking position)
The ignition switch can only be locked in this
position.
The ignition switch will be unlocked when it is
placed in the ON position while carrying the
Intelligent Key.
The ignition switch will lock when any door is
opened or closed with the ignition switched
off. ON (Normal operating position)
This position turns on the ignition system and
electrical accessories.
ON has a battery saver feature that will place
the ignition switch in the OFF position, if the
vehicle is not running, after some time under
the following conditions:
• All doors are closed.
• The shift lever is in P (Park).
The battery saver feature will be canceled if
any of the following occur:
• Any door is opened.
• The shift lever is moved out of the P (Park)
position.
• The ignition switch changes position.
CAUTION
Do not leave the vehicle with the ignition
switch in the ON position when the engine
is not running for an extended period. This
can discharge the battery.
OFF
The ignition switch is in the OFF position
when the engine is turned off using the igni-
tion switch. No lights will illuminate on the
ignition switch.

BATTERY DISCHARGE
If the battery of the Intelligent Key is dis-
charged or environmental conditions inter-
fere with the Intelligent Key operation, start
the engine according to the following proce-
dure:
1. Press the Park button to place the vehicle in the P (Park) position.
2. Firmly apply the foot brake.
3. Touch the ignition switch with the Intelli- gent Key as illustrated. (A chime will
sound.) 4. Push the ignition switch while depressing
the brake pedal within 10 seconds after
the chime sounds. The engine will start.
After step 3 is performed, when the ignition
switch is pushed without depressing the
brake pedal, the ignition switch position will
change to ON.
NOTE:
• When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position or the engine is started by the
above procedure, the Intelligent Key bat-
tery discharge indicator may appear in the
vehicle information display even when the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. This is
not a malfunction. To turn off the Intelli-
gent Key battery discharge indicator,
touch the ignition switch with the Intelli-
gent Key again.
• If the Intelligent Key battery discharge in- dicator appears, replace the battery as
soon as possible. For additional informa-
tion, see “Battery replacement” (P. 8-22).

•The LDP system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a con-
struction zone directs traffic to cross an
existing lane marker. If this occurs you
may need to apply corrective steering to
complete your lane change.
• Because the LDP may not activate under
the road, weather, and lane marker con-
ditions described in this section, it may
not activate every time your vehicle be-
gins to leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering.
• The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37 mph (60
km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers.
• Do not use the LDP system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such
as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary lane. –
When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire
conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
nonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or
other vehicle.
The system may not function properly un-
der the following conditions:
• On roads where there are multiple paral-
lel lane markers; lane markers that are
faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc.
• On roads where discontinued lane mark-
ers are still detectable.
• On roads where there are sharp curves.
• On roads where there are sharply con-
trasting objects, such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remain-
ing after road repairs. (The LDP system
could detect these items as lane markers.)
• On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
• When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
• When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
• When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windshield in front of the lane camera
unit.
• When the headlights are not bright due
to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
• When strong light enters the lane cam-
era unit. (For example, the light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at sun-
rise or sunset.)
• When a sudden change in brightness oc-
curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is nor-
mal and indicates that the LDP system is
operating properly.

When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the ProPILOT Assist
system cannot be set and the set vehicle
speed indicator
O1blinks for approximately 2
seconds:
• When traveling below 20 mph (30 km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not detected
• When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) position or manual shift mode
• When the electronic parking brake is applied
• When the brakes are operated by the driver • When the VDC system is off. For additional
information, see “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” (P. 5-154).
• When the VDC system (including the trac- tion control system) is operating
• When a wheel is slipping
• When any door is open
• When the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
How to change the set vehicle
speed
The set vehicle speed can be adjusted.
To change to a faster cruising speed:
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed increases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).

To change to a slower cruising speed:
• Push and hold the SET- switch. The setvehicle speed decreases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
• Depress the accelerator pedal when accel-eration is required. Release the accelerator
pedal to resume the previously set vehicle
speed.
• Depress the brake pedal when deceleration is required. Control by the ProPILOT Assist
system is canceled. Push the RES+ switch
to resume the previously set vehicle speed.
WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
and you are approaching the vehicle ahead,
the ICC system will neither control the
brake nor warn the driver with the chime
and display. The driver must manually con-
trol the vehicle speed to maintain a safe
distance to the vehicle ahead. Failure to do
so could result in severe personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
When you accelerate by depressing the ac-
celerator pedal or decelerate by pushing the
SET- switch and the vehicle travels faster
than the speed set by the driver, the set
speed vehicle indicator will blink.
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
OAis
pushed, the set distance will change to long,
middle, short and back to long again in that
sequence.

•When the vehicle approaches an ob-
stacle while the accelerator or brake
pedal is depressed, the function may not
operate or the start of operation may be
delayed. The RAB system may not oper-
ate or may not perform sufficiently due
to vehicle conditions, driving conditions,
the traffic environment, the weather,
road surface conditions, etc. Do not wait
for the system to operate. Operate the
brake pedal by yourself as soon as
necessary.
• If it is necessary to override RAB opera-
tion, strongly press the accelerator
pedal.
• Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you before
and while backing up. The RAB system
detects stationary objects behind the
vehicle. The RAB system does not detect
the following objects:
– Moving objects
– Low objects
– Narrow objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Objects close to the bumper (less than
approximately 1 ft [30 cm])
– Objects that suddenly appear –
Thin objects such as rope, wire, chain,
etc.
• The RAB system may not operate for the
following obstacles:
– Obstacles located high off the ground
– Obstacles in a position offset from
your vehicle
– Obstacles, such as spongy materials
or snow, that have soft outer sur-
faces and can easily absorb a sound
wave
• The RAB system may not operate in the
following conditions:
– There is rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc., at-
tached to the sonar sensors.
– A loud sound is heard in the area
around the vehicle.
– The surface of the obstacle is diago-
nal to the rear of the vehicle.
• The RAB system may unintentionally op-
erate in the following conditions:
– There is overgrown grass in the area
around the vehicle.
– There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll
gate equipment, a narrow tunnel, a
parking lot gate) near the side of the
vehicle. –
There are bumps, protrusions, or
manhole covers on the road surface.
– The vehicle drives through a draped
flag or a curtain.
– There is an accumulation of snow or
ice behind the vehicle.
– An ultrasonic wave source, such as
another vehicle’s sonar, is near the
vehicle.
• Once the automatic brake control oper-
ates, it does not operate again if the ve-
hicle approaches the same obstacle.
• The automatic brake control can only
operate for a short period of time. There-
fore, the driver must depress the brake
pedal.
• In the following situations, the RAB sys-
tem may not operate properly or may not
function sufficiently:
– The vehicle is driven in bad weather
(rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
– The vehicle’s posture is changed (e.g.,
when driving over a bump).
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
– The vehicle is turned sharply by turn-
ing the steering wheel fully.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the PFCW system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The PFCW system can help warn the
driver before a collision occurs but will
not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead
in the same lane.
The PFCW system uses a radar sensor
OAlocated on the front of the vehicle to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.

• Recirculating the cool air in the cabinwhen the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and
Distances
• Observing the speed limit and not ex- ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
• Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
• Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
• Select a gear range suitable to road conditions.
5. Use Cruise Control
• Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed.
• Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
• Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time. 7.
Avoid Idling
• Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
• Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting.
9. Winter Warm Up
• Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
• Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to effec-
tively circulate the engine oil before
driving.
• Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat- ing temperature more quickly while driv-
ing versus idling.
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
• Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever possible.
• When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the in-
side temperature faster, resulting in re-
duced demand on your A/C system. • Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres- sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
• Keep all the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, see “Engine oil
and oil filter recommendations” (P. 10-6).
