The warning systems switch is used to
turn on and off the warning systems
(Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind
Spot Warning (BSW) systems) that are
activated using the “Driver Assistance”
menu displayed in the vehicle information
display. (See “Driver Assistance” (P.2-21).)
When the warning systems switch is
turned off, the indicator
on the switch
is off. The indicator will also be off if all of
the warning systems are deactivated
using the settings menu.
The LDW system will vibrate the steering
wheel and blink the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) indicator light (orange) to
alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the right of a
traveling lane with detectable lane mar-
kers. (See “Lane Departure Warning (LDW)”
(P.5-26).)
The BSW system will turn on the side
indicator lights, on the outside mirrors, if
the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the
side indicator light will flash. (See “Blind
Spot Warning (BSW)” (P.5-38).)

For driving or starting the vehicle on
snowy roads or slippery areas, push on
the SNOW mode switch. The SNOW mode
indicator will illuminate. When the SNOW
mode is activated, engine output is con-
trolled to avoid wheel spin.

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 trans-
mission/engine driving characteristics
may feel unusual.
Push the TOW MODE switch to activate
TOW MODE. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when TOW
MODE is selected. Push the TOW MODE
switch again to turn TOW MODE OFF.
TOW MODE is automatically canceled
when the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position.
SIC4455
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 en-
gine 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

The TBCU on the instrument panel allows
the driver to adjust the braking force
applied to the trailer brakes. See “Trailer
Brake Controller Unit (TBCU)” (P.10-28).
The Rear Door Alert system functions
under certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting
the vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially
enabled. The driver can disable the sys-
tem using the vehicle information display.
(See “Vehicle settings” (P.2-23).)
When the system is enabled:
.The system is activated when a rear
door is opened and closed. When the
vehicle is started and the system is
activated, a visual message appears in
the vehicle information display. (See
“42. Rear Door Alert is activated” (P.2-
33).)
. If a rear door is opened and closed but
the vehicle is not driven, the system
will not be activated. A rear door must
be opened and closed and the car
driven for the system to activate.
. The time interval to activate the
system between when the rear door
is opened and closed and the vehicle
is started is about 10 minutes. A longer
interval does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
When the Rear Door Alert system is
activated:
TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER UNIT (TBCU)REAR DOOR ALERT

.When the driver puts the vehicle in the
P (Park) position, a notification mes-
sage appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display with the options to
“Dismiss Message” or “Disable Alert” if
desired.
— Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily
disable for that stop.
— No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that
stop.
. If the alert is enabled when a driver
exits the vehicle, a message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display
that states “Check Rear Seat for All
Articles.”
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
— An audible horn sound will occur
after a short time unless a rear
door is opened and closed within a
short time to deactivate the alert.
— If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a
rear door, the horn will sound.
— If the liftgate is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be
delayed until after the liftgate is
closed.
NOTE:
If “Alert Only” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.
WARNING
.
If the driver selects “Disable
Alert”, no audible alert will be
provided regardless of rear door
open/close status.
. There may be times when there is
an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s) but the audible alert does
not sound. For example, this may
occur if rear seat passengers
enter or exit the vehicle during a
trip.
. The system does not directly
detect objects or passengers in
the rear seat(s). Instead, it can
detect when a rear door is
opened and closed, indicating
that there may be something in
the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or
passengers in the rear seat(s).
(See “42. Rear Door Alert is activated” (P.2-
33).)

running to avoid discharging the
vehicle battery.

. Before inserting or disconnecting
a plug, be sure the electrical
accessory being used is turned
OFF.
. When not in use, be sure to close
the cap. Do not allow water or any
