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 on the vehicle information
display to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the right
of a traveling lane with detectable lane
markers. (See “Lane Departure Warning
(LDW)” (P.5-22).)
The BSW system will turn on the side
indicator lights, located 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.5-34).)

driving.
NOTE:
When the SNOW mode is activated, the
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Blind

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.
Push the TOW mode switch to activate
TOW mode. The indicator light in the vehicle
information display 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

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
