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).)

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.

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-

WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose con-
trol of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is neces-
sary for proper steering opera-
tion and comfort. The driver’s air
bag inflates with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive ser-
ious or fatal injuries from the air
bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel.
Always use the seat belts.
