TOW mode should be used when pulling a
heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driving
the vehicle in TOW mode with no trailer/
load or light trailer/light load will not cause
any damage. However, fuel economy may be
reduced, and the transmission/engine driv-
ing characteristics may feel unusual.

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be
reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
to the floor. If maximum engine power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator will illumi-
nate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See

4-18Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for front objects
when the shift lever is in the D (Drive)
position and both front and rear objects
when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
When the camera image is shown on the
upper display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shift lever posi-
tion.
The system is deactivated at speeds above 6
MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-wide,
rear and rear-wide views indicate different
distances to the object.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the rate of the tone increase.
When the vehicle is very close to the object,
the indicator stops blinking and turns red,
and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3
seconds when an object is detected by only
the sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is nolonger near the vehicle.
