The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the following systems that are
activated using the Settings menu in the
vehicle information display:
• Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (if so equipped)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) (if soequipped)
When the warning systems switch is
turned off, the indicator
O1on the switch is
off. The indicator will also be off if all of the
warning systems are deactivated using
the settings menu. The BSW system will turn on the side indi-
cator lights, located by the outside mirrors,
if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is acti-
vated in the direction of the detected ve-
hicle, a chime sounds twice and the side
indicator light will flash.
The LDW system will sound a warning; the
steering wheel will vibrate; and the LDW
indicator (orange) will blink to alert the
driver of the vehicle is traveling close to
either the lef t or the right of a traveling lane
with detectable lane markers.
For additional information, see “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)” (P. 5-32) and “Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW)” (P. 5-27).
The vehicle should be driven with the 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 de-
pressed 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 come
on.

WARNING
• Never rely solely on the hill descent
control system to control vehicle
speed when driving on steep down-
hill grades. Always drive carefully
when using the hill descent control
system and decelerate the vehicle
speed by depressing the brake pedal
if necessary. Be especially careful
when driving on frozen, muddy or ex-
tremely steep downhill roads. Failure
to control vehicle speed may result in
a loss of control of the vehicle and
possible serious injury or death. •
The hill descent control may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to depress the brake pedal
to control vehicle speed. Failure to do
so may result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
When the hill descent control system
operates continuously for a long time,
the temperature of the brake pads may
increase and the hill descent control
system may be temporarily disabled
(the indicator light will blink). If the indi-
cator light does not come on continu-
ously af ter blinking, stop using the
system.
