systems to provide improved and consistent
performance when cornering. The amount of
available engine power is based on the
mode selected, track conditions, driver skill,

this system, after entering a curve and at
the point where normal acceleration occurs,
fully press the accelerator pedal. The PTM
system modifies the level of engine power
for a smooth and consistent corner exit.
The PTM system contains five modes. These

Always check behind and around the
vehicle before driving. Failure to use
proper care may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage.
Park Assist
With RPA, as the vehicle backs up at speeds
of less than 8 km/h (5 mph), the sensors on
the rear bumper may detect objects up to
2.5 m (8 ft) behind the vehicle within a zone
25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below
bumper level. These detection distances may
be shorter during warmer or humid weather.
Blocked sensors will not detect objects and
can also cause false detections. Keep the
sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush; and clean sensors after a car wash in
freezing temperatures.
{Warning
The Park Assist system does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects located below the bumper or
