Quick Reference Guide
VSA® On and Off (P477)
●The Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® )
system helps stabilize the vehicle during
cornering, and helps maintain traction
while accelerating on loose or slippery
road surfaces.
●VSA ® comes on automatically every time
you turn the power system on.
●To partially disable or fully restore VSA®
function, press and hold the (VSA ®
OFF) button until you hear a beep.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
(P480)
●Detects a change in tire conditions and
overall dimensions due to decrease in tire
pressures.
●The TPMS is turned on automatically
every time you turn the power system on.
●A calibration procedure must be
performed when certain conditions arise.
CMBSTM On and Off
(P499)
●When a possible frontal collision is likely
unavoidable, the CMBSTM can reduce the
vehicle speed and the severity of the
collision.
●The CMBSTM is turned on every time you
turn the power system on.
●To turn the CMBSTM on or off, use the
safety support of th e driver information
interface.

aPull the hood release handle under the driver's side lower corner
of the dashboard.
bLocate the hood latch lever, push it to the side, and then

Lights (P623)
●Inspect all lights regularly.
Wiper Blades (P627)
●Replace blades if they leave streaks
across the windshield or become noisy.
Tires (P631)
●Inspect tires and wheels regularly.●Check tire pressures regularly.●Install snow tires for winter
driving.

Quick Reference GuideI'm seeing an amber
indicator of a tire with an
exclamation point. What is
that?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) needs attention. If
you recently inflated or changed a tire, you have to recalibrate
the system.
2 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (P480)
Depressing the accelerator
pedal does not release the
parking brake
automatically. Why?●Fasten the driver’s seat belt.
●Check if the transmission is in (P or (N. If so, select any other
position.
Why do I hear a screeching
sound when I apply the
brake pedal?The brake pads may need to be replaced. Have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.

uuFor Safe Driving uImportant Safety Precautions
Safe Driving
■Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
■Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
■Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regul arly scheduled maintenance.
■Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children, pets, and people needing assistance left unattended in the vehicle may be
injured if they activate one or more of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the
vehicle to move, resulting in a crash in wh ich they and/or another person(s) can be
injured or killed. Also, depending on the am bient temperature, the temperature of
the interior may reach extreme levels, which can result in harm or death. Even if the
climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended as the
climate control system can shut off at any time.
